Good monitor
This is small and light weight device, with clear instruction by pictures. My mum (78) start use it strait away and happy with everything. Reading is quite accurate, and very close to the reading from machine in gp surgery. Small batteries (AAA) are included.

Easy to use.
This machine is simple to use easily to transport around although could have been supplied with a hard case to store it in. Very pleased with all the functionality of the machine would recommend as easier than an arm band device.

Light weight and efficient
I had a Omron monitor already but was finding it difficult to use the sleave on my arm so thought this wrist monitor might be be easier to use. It was a lot easier and is as accurate as my old monitor. it's also much lighter and compact. I'm very pleased with it and the price is very reasonable. I don't use the memory so I cannot comment on that function, I'm old so use pen and paper to record the results.

If in doubt ask your surgery they will test theirs with this one
Hello Marylou,
The supplier has advised the following for the OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor:
"Contrary to popular belief, certainly in terms of OMRON product, our Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors are just as accurate as our Upper Arm Blood Pressure monitors, although we cannot speak for our competitors.
RS1 is Clinically Validated, like all our BPMs, which ensures accuracy…
Clinically Validated means a product has been evaluated by an independent organisation and tested against as well as met the stringent requirements as set out by numerous international organisations such as the British Hypertension Society (BHS), European Society for Hypertension (ESH), and International Protocol (IP), just to mention a few.
It is not directly approved by the NHS as there are so many BPMs and other products that this is not something the NHS does, but if it is Clinically Validated in the UK, Europe and Internationally then they would have no hesitation recommending it."
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Pitts.
OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor:
Yes, the Blood Pressure Monitor can be used without an internet connection. It’s a standalone digital device that operates using batteries and displays readings directly on its screen. It does not require Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or any app connectivity to function.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Anni,
From the information we have available, I can advise the OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is designed for wrist circumferences ranging from 13.5 cm to 21.5 cm. For an 8-year-old, it's important to measure his wrist circumference to ensure it falls within this range.
If his wrist is smaller than 13.5 cm, the monitor might not fit properly, which could affect the accuracy of the readings.
You might want to consider a paediatric-specific blood pressure monitor or consult with your healthcare provider for recommendations tailored to children.
Thank you for using Q and A

Hello Lin,
The supplier has advised the following for the OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor:
"Is it waterproof? – No, DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of water splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.
Can I keep it on all day? – No, it is meant for single use readings. It is important to take measurements at same times each day. Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
Or battery does not last the whole day? – Battery Life: Approximately 300 measurements (using new alkaline batteries).
Is it water resistant? – No, DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of water splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.
Would it better to only put it in when I want to check my pressure? – Yes, DO NOT take measurements more often than necessary because bruising, due to blood flow interference, may occur."
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Yes, the cuff goes tight for less than a minute while readings are being taken. It is not excessively tight though and does not cause any pain. Just make sure your wrist is within the right circumference range for this device.
Hi Pjmooseboy,
The OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor cuff needs to be tight when in use to provide accurate results. The monitor comes with a cuff wrapping guide to ensure you are fitting the cuff correctly.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello there,
The supplier has advised the following for the OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor:
"I have measured the depth of the face of the RS1 which is approx. 6cm and the depth of the cuff which is approx. 7cm."
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
As a retired doctor, it should be ok to use this with a pacemaker.Pacemakers are affected by EM fields so do not use this where you are holding the electronics right next to your heart,which in the vast majority of people,is behind the upper chest left-hand side.The heart is located differently in Situs inversus and Dextrocardia which likely would have been picked up in early life.The most effective method for taking BP will always be an upper arm BP-taking machine.Do the Average of 3 readings.
Hi Albert,
We recommend speaking to your doctor before using the OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with any underlying health conditions.
Thank you for using Q&A.
I havent got a clue about this and it would be best to ask your GP.
The monitor is very easy to use and gives good readings but check with a health professional first.\Good Luck
