Before using the unit Introduction Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M2 Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor. The OMRON M2 is a fully automatic 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. The unit also stores up to 21 measurements in memory.
Important Safety Information Important Safety Information 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.
Important Safety Information • Do not leave the cuff wrapped on the arm if taking measurements during the night. This could result in injury. • Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg. • 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 operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane). • To inflate the cuff manually, refer to Chapter 3.4. If the cuff is over inflated, it can cause internal bleeding.
Important Safety Information • Do not wash the arm cuff or immerse it in water. • Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electro 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.

2.Preparation 2. Preparation Installing/Replacing the Batteries 2.1 1. Turn the main unit upside down. 2. Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow while pressing the ribbed part of the cover. 3. Install or replace four “AAA” size batteries so that the + (positive) and - (negative) polarities match the polarities indicated on the battery compartment. 4. Put the battery cover back in place. Slide the battery cover as indicated, until it clicks into place.
2.Preparation Battery Life & Replacement If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace all four batteries at the same time. - When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still be able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace the batteries with new ones as soon as possible. - When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones at once. Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.
Operating instructions 3.Using the Unit 3. Using the Unit 3.1 How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate results. Notes: • Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or too cold. • Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. • Do not move or talk during measurement.
3.Using the Unit Note: You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. 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.
3.Using the Unit 3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results. Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading. 1. Insert the air plug into the air jack on the left side of the main unit. 2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. Note: If the cuff is not assembled, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop.
3.Using the Unit 3. Position the arm correctly. 1) The air tube should run down the inside of your forearm and be in line with your middle finger. 2) The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1 to 2 cm above your elbow. 3) Apply the cuff to your upper arm so that the marker (arrow under tube) is centered on the middle of your inner arm and points down the inside of the arm. Taking Measurements on the Right Arm Apply the cuff so that the air tube is at the side of your elbow.
3.Using the Unit 3.3 Taking a Reading 1. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit on. The cuff starts to inflate automatically. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so that the cuff will be at the same level as your heart. Keep still and do not talk during measurement. Note: To cancel a measurement, press the O/I START button to turn the unit off and to release the air in the arm cuff.
3.Using the Unit 4. Check the measurement results. The unit automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate into its memory. Refer to “3.5 Using the Memory Function”. Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Pulse display Note: 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. Warning: Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous.
3.Using the Unit 5. Remove the arm cuff. 6. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit off. Note: If you forget to turn the unit off, it will automatically shut itself off after five minutes.
3.Using the Unit 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 This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement. For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria, please refer to Chapter 9 “Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure”. • Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular heartbeat feature.
3.Using the Unit What is Irregular Heartbeat? An irregular Normal Heartbeat heartbeat is a Pulse heartbeat rhythm that varies by more Blood pressure than 25% from the Irregular Heartbeat average heartbeat Short Long rhythm detected Pulse while the unit is measuring the Blood pressure systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If such an irregular rhythm is detected more than twice during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.
3.Using the Unit 3.4 Instructions for Special Conditions If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press and hold the O/I START button until the arm cuff inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your suspected systolic pressure. 1. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit on. Measurement starts. 2. When the cuff starts to inflate, press the O/I START button and keep it pressed until the pressure is 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your suspected systolic pressure.
3.Using the Unit 3.5 Using the Memory Function The unit automatically stores up to 21 sets of measurement values (blood pressure and pulse rate). When 21 sets of measurement values are stored, the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent values. 1. Press the M button. Note: If there are no measurements results stored in memory, the screen to the right is displayed. 2. Press the M button repeatedly to cycle through the previous measurement results.
3.Using the Unit 3. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit off. Note: If you forget to turn the unit off, it will automatically shut itself off after five minutes. To Delete All the Values Stored in Memory You cannot delete individual stored readings, all the readings in the unit will be deleted. 1. To delete stored readings, first press the M button. Then while holding it down, press the O/I START button simultaneously for about 2-3 seconds. All readings will then be deleted.

9.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure 9. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart’s cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.
