📋 Product Specifications

How Omron RS1 Works

The RS1 sits on the wrist and inflates automatically, sensing the pressure pulsations of the artery beneath the cuff (oscillometric method). IntelliSense sets the inflation pressure. The wrist must be held at heart level for an accurate reading.

Omron RS1 Uses

•    Portable Checks: blood pressure and pulse at home, at work or while travelling

•    Arm Cuff Alternative: suits people who find upper-arm cuffs too tight or uncomfortable

•    Irregular Heartbeat Alerts: shows an icon when an irregular pulse is detected

High blood pressure often has no symptoms: the WHO estimates 1.4 billion adults had hypertension in 2024 and 44% were unaware of it.

Who Should Use Omron RS1

Adults who want a small portable monitor or cannot use an upper-arm cuff comfortably. Upper-arm monitors are generally preferred for routine monitoring because wrist readings are more sensitive to position.

🚫 Limitations and Cautions

It is not a diagnostic tool; do not change medication from home readings alone. Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant or have an arrhythmia. Do not measure on an arm with a drip, dialysis shunt or mastectomy. Ask a doctor before choosing a wrist monitor if you have poor circulation or vascular disease.

💊 How to Measure Blood Pressure with Omron RS1

1.   Rest: Avoid caffeine, smoking and exercise for 30 minutes, then sit quietly for 5 minutes.

2.   Fit the Monitor: Wear it on the bare inner wrist, palm up, and use the cuff wrap guide to confirm the fit.

3.   Raise to Heart Level: Rest your elbow on a table so the wrist is level with your heart.

4.   Start: Press START/STOP and stay still and silent until the reading finishes.

5.   Record: Note the values, wait 1-2 minutes, take a second reading, and measure at the same times daily.

⚠️ Understanding Your Results

Categories below follow the American Heart Association; the WHO defines hypertension as 140/90 mmHg or higher, and your doctor sets your target.
