Omron R6 wrist blood pressure monitor
Blood pressure monitors worn on the wrist can give inaccurate results because of poor positioning (a wrist blood pressure monitor must be kept at heart level throughout the measurement). The Omron R6 monitor has a patented APS (advanced positioning system) which eliminates questionable results. Only valid results are shown.
This Omron R6 fully automatic wrist blood pressure monitor uses the Intellisense algorhythm for fast results. The monitor operates on two AAA batteries (batteries are included). It comes with:
- a cuff that fits 13.5 to 21.5 cm wrists
- enough memory capacity for 90 readings
- memory with date and time stamp
- averaging mode
- a large display showing blood pressure and pulse
- the patented advanced positioning sensor (APS) - this ensures accurate positioning and therefore accurate measurements.
- irregular pulse detection (these can cause false results - any irregular pulses are detected and reliable results only are displayed)
- a hard case to protect the monitor in transport and storage
