Introduction - Omron IntelliSense IW2 Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON IW2 Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor.
This remarkable, compact and easy to use instrument is ideal for people who
frequently monitor their own blood pressure. The small, pre-formed wrist cuff
is very convenient and easy to apply.
With the push of a button the OMRON Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
measures your blood pressure and pulse and displays the reading on a clear
digital panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at work, and while
traveling. It also stores up to 90 sets of measurements in memory and displays
an average reading based on the three most recent measurements.
The OMRON Wrist Monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects the pulse wave vibrations in the
artery of your wrist and converts the oscillations into a digital reading.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in
the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in wrist blood pressure
reflect changes in arm blood pressure because the arteries in the wrist and the
arm are connected.
Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will provide you and
your doctor with an accurate indication of changes in your true blood
pressure.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using
the unit. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, consult your doctor.
