Thank you for purchasing the OMRON RS3 Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor.
The OMRON RS3 is a compact and easy to use blood pressure
monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your
blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable
controlled inflation without the need of pressure pre-setting or
re-inflation the device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology.
Intended Use
This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse
rate of people within the range of the designated wrist cuff, following
the instructions in this instruction manual.
It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the
Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using
the unit.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the
unit.
Please keep for future reference.
For specific information about your own blood pressure,
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
Consult your doctor prior to using in pregnancy or if diagnosed with
arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis.
Please read this section carefully before using the unit.
Warning:
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
(General Usage)
• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results
and self-treatment are dangerous.
• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should
consult a doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause
internal bleeding.
(Battery Usage)
• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with
plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately.
Caution:

may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or
damage to the equipment or other property.
(General Usage)
• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who
cannot express their consent.
• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood
pressure.
• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit
electromagnetic fields, near the unit. This may result in incorrect
operation of the unit.
• Do not disassemble the unit or wrist cuff.
• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
(Battery Usage)
• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse
with plenty of clean water.

• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace both
batteries at the same time.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or
more.
• Do not use new and used batteries together.
General Precautions
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit.
• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol or
caffeine, smoking, exercising or eating.
• Do not inflate the wrist cuff when it is not wrapped around your
wrist.

Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)” in the Technical Data Section.
• Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in the
Technical Data Section when disposing of the device and any used
accessories or optional parts.
Main unit:
Display:
2.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries
• If the battery low symbol (
) appears on the display, turn off
the unit then replace both batteries at the same time.
• The measurement values continue to be stored in memory
even after the batteries are replaced.
Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance
with the national regulations for the disposal of batteries.
2.2 Setting the Date and Time
Notes:
• If the batteries have been removed, the date and time setting
will need to be reset.
• If the date and time are not set, “-:--” appears during or after
measurement.
3.1 Applying the Wrist Cuff
Do not apply over clothing.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
• Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench
your fist, or bend your wrist forward.
3.3 Taking a Reading
Notes:
• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button at
any time during measurement.
• Remain still while taking a measurement.
Cuff Wrapping Guide
The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that
indicates if the cuff is not wrapped tightly enough
around the wrist. Even when the
is displayed, a
blood pressure reading will be taken.
Note: This reading is
NOT
reliable due to the incorrect
wrapping of the cuff. Please wrap the cuff again, taking
care to wrap it correctly and take the measurement
again. When the
is displayed, the cuff is correctly
wrapped tightly enough on the wrist and the reading is
accurate and reliable.
The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its
memory.
It will automatically turn off after two minutes.
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
If the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be
invalid, no result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat symbol
(
) is shown after you have taken a measurement, repeat
the measurement. If the irregular heartbeat symbol (
) is
shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.
Notes:
• Wait 2 - 3 minutes before taking another blood
pressure measurement. Waiting between readings
allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to
taking the blood pressure measurement.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm
and the left arm, and therefore also the measured
blood pressure values can be different. OMRON
recommends to always use the same arm for
measurement. If the values between the two arms
differ substantially, please check with your physician
which arm to use for your measurement.
Warning:
Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are
dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor.

rapidly.
2) Push the
button to confirm.
• Next setting appears.
3. Using the Unit
To take a measurement, you need
to be relaxed and comfortably
seated, under comfortable room
temperature. No bathing, drinking
alcohol or caffeine, smoking,
exercising or eating 30 minutes
before taking a measurement.
• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the
floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• The cuff should be at the same level
as your heart.
1.
Press the START/STOP button.
All the symbols appear on the display.
The wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically.
2.
Undo the wrist cuff and remove the unit.
3.
Press the START/STOP button to turn off the
monitor.
Important:
• Recent research suggests that the
following values can be used as a
guide to high blood pressure for
measurements taken at home.
Systolic Blood Pressure
Above 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Above 85 mmHg
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular
heartbeats can influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular heartbeat
algorithm automatically determines if the
measurement is usable or needs to be
repeated. If the measurement results are
affected by irregular heartbeats but the result
is valid, the result is shown together with the
irregular heartbeat symbol (
).
• If you move during measurement, the
movement error symbol (
) will appear on
the display. Keep still and repeat the
measurement.
