Introduction The OMRON M6 is a compact, 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 devices uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology. The device also stores up to 90 measurements in memory and calculates an average value based on the last three measurements.
Important Safety Information • Blood pressure measurement is not suitable in cases of serious arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). • The pulse display is not suitable for monitoring the frequency of cardiac pacemakers. • Pregnant women should only measure their own blood pressure in consultation with their doctor, since the readings can be changed by pregnancy. • Do not use the monitor on babies, young children or persons who cannot express their consent.

2.How to Obtain Meaningful Readings 2. How to Obtain Meaningful Readings To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Note: Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm. 1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your heart. 2. Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm.
3.Preparation 3. Preparation 3.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Insert four “AA” batteries as indicated in the battery compartment and then replace the battery cover. Notes: • If the battery low display ( ) appears on the display, replace all four batteries at the same time. Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended. • Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for three months or more.
3.Preparation 3.2 Setting the Date and Time Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 90 measurements values in its memory and calculates an average reading based on the measurements from the last three readings. • Set the monitor to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time. • If the batteries have been removed for a long period of time, the date and time setting will need to be reset. 1.
3.Preparation 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the month and date (day). or or 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the hour and minutes for the time. or or 6. Press the O/I START button when you have finished setting the date and time.
4.Using the Monitor 4. Using the Monitor 4.1 Applying the Arm Cuff You can wrap the cuff either on your right or left arm. • Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm. • Do not place the cuff over thick clothes and do not roll up your sleeve if it is too tight. 1. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the Pile side material hook material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will not touch your skin.
4.Using the Monitor 3. 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. 4. Put your arm through the cuff loop. Bottom Edge 1 to 2 cm Marker Air tube The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1 to 2 cm above the elbow. Apply the cuff to your upper arm so that the coloured marker is centred on the middle of your inner arm and points down the inside of the arm.
4.Using the Monitor 5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm. 6. When the cuff is positioned correctly, close the fabric fastener FIRMLY. Notes: • Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm. • The cuff should make good contact with your skin. You should be able to fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm easily, so you can pull the cuff off and on. • Make sure that there are no kinks in the air tubing.
4.Using the Monitor 4.2 Taking a Reading 1. Press the O/I START button and remain still, the cuff will start to inflate automatically. As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. Remain still and do not talk until measurement is completed. Note: Do not inflate the cuff if it is not wrapped around your arm. 2. Inflation stops automatically and measurement is started.
4.Using the Monitor 4. Press the O/I START button to turn the monitor off. Note: If you forget to turn the monitor off, it will automatically shut itself off after five minutes. Important: • 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. • If you move during measurement, the movement display ( ) may appear.
4.Using the Monitor What is Irregular Heartbeat? Normal Heartbeat An irregular heartbeat is a heartbeat rhythm that varies Pulse by more than 25% from the Blood pressure average heartbeat rhythm detected while the unit is Irregular Heartbeat measuring the systolic and Short Long diastolic blood pressure. Pulse If such an irregular rhythm is Blood pressure detected more than twice during measurement, the irregular heartbeat display ( ) appears on the display when the measurement results are displayed.
4.Using the Monitor 4.3 Using the Memory Function This monitor has a memory capable of storing 90 sets of readings. Every time you complete the measurement, the monitor automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate. The monitor also calculates an average reading based on the measurements from the last three readings. Note: To ensure that the measurement results are recorded correctly, make sure that the date and time are set correctly before taking a measurement.
4.Using the Monitor To View Previous Readings Stored in Memory 1. Press the button, while the average reading is displayed, to view reading stored in memory from the most recent to the oldest. Alternating display 2. Press the or button repeatedly to cycle through the previous measurement values ( button: from the most recent to the oldest, button: from the oldest to the most recent) Keep the button pressed down to cycle rapidly through the previous values.
5.Handling Errors and Problems 5. Handling Errors and Problems Error Display Cause Remedy Cuff is under inflated. Movement during measurement Carefully read and repeat the steps listed under “Taking a Reading” on p. 14. Cuff over inflated. This icon indicates irregular or weak pulses are detected, but result can be considered reliable. Remove the arm cuff. Wait 2-3 minutes and then take another measurement. Repeat the steps in “Taking a Reading” on p. 14.
6.Optional Parts Problem No display appears when the O/I START button is pressed. Cannot measure or readings are too high. The blood pressure is different each time. The reading is extremely low (or high). Cause Remedy The batteries are empty. Replace the batteries. Is the cuff wrapped firmly around the arm? Attach the arm cuff correctly. The cuff pressure does not rise although the pump motor can be heard. Check that the air plug is properly connected to the monitor.
7.Storage and Maintenance 7. Storage and Maintenance To protect your monitor from damage, please observe the following: • Do not subject your monitor and cuff to extreme temperatures, humidity, moisture or direct sunlight. • Do not fold the cuff or tubing tightly. • Do not disassemble the monitor. • Do not carry out repairs of any kind yourself.

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.
