Thank you for purchasing the OMRON RS6 Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor.
The OMRON RS6 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.

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.

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.

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.
After the Positioning symbol lights for more than 2 seconds,
the wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically.

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.
• 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.

does not cover the protruding
part of the wrist bone (ulna) on
the outside of the wrist.
Notes:
• You can take a measurement on
either your left or right wrist.

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.
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.

Press and hold the
button to reset the
Positioning sensor.
The Positioning sensor
is set "on" as default.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Omron RS6 below.

What does systolic pressure mean?

Systolic pressure is the top number that the blood pressure monitor will indicate. Systolic pressure refers to the amount of pressure in your arteries during the contraction of your heart muscle.

What does diastolilc pressure mean?

Diastolic pressure is the lowest number that the blood pressure monitor will indicate. The bottom number refers to your blood pressure when your heart muscle is between beats.

What is a normal blood pressure?

A normal blood pressure is about 120/80.

How do I properly position the Omron RS6 sphygmomanometer cuff on my arm?

To ensure accurate readings, place the cuff approximately 2-3 centimeters above your elbow, positioning the tube running down the center of your arm. Adjust the cuff's fit so that you can comfortably slide two fingers between your arm and the cuff.

What is the correct method for starting a blood pressure measurement using the Omron RS6?

First, make sure you are in a quiet and relaxed environment. Sit up straight and rest your arm on a table or armrest, with the cuff at heart level. Press the POWER button to power on the device, and then press the START/STOP button to initiate the measurement. Remain still and avoid talking or moving during the reading.

How can I ensure accurate readings when using the Omron RS6 sphygmomanometer?

Before each measurement, ensure that you have not consumed caffeine, smoked, or exercised in the past 30 minutes. Keep your feet flat on the floor and avoid crossing your legs. Make sure the cuff is not too loose or too tight and avoid talking during the measurement. It is also important to remain still and keep your arm relaxed.

Can I use the Omron RS6 sphygmomanometer on either arm?

Yes, you can use the Omron RS6 on both your left and right arm. However, for consistent comparison of measurements, it is recommended to use the same arm consistently.

How do I interpret the blood pressure readings displayed on the Omron RS6 sphygmomanometer?

The Omron RS6 provides systolic (the top number) and diastolic (the bottom number) blood pressure values. Systolic pressure reflects the force when the heart contracts, while diastolic pressure represents the force when the heart is at rest.
