Before using the unit

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M1 Compact Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.

The OMRON M1 Compact is a manual inflation blood pressure monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly.

The unit also stores up to 14 measurements in memory.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Important Safety Information

Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis. You should never change the dosage of medication prescribed by your

doctor. 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.

• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a doctor before using the unit. Cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.

(Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately.

Caution:

• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or damage to the equipment or other property.

(General Usage)

• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express their consent.

• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.

• Do not disassemble the unit, arm cuff or inflation bulb.

• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect measurement results.

• Make sure that the air tube is not wrapped around other parts of your body when taking measurements at night. This could result in injury when the air pressure in the air tube is increased.

• Do not wrap the arm cuff tightly when taking measurements at night. This could result in injury.

Important Safety Information

• Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg. If the cuff is over inflated, it can cause internal bleeding.

• Do not use a mobile phone near the unit. This could cause a malfunction.

(Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water.

• Use only four “AAA” alkaline batteries with this unit. Do not use other types of batteries.

• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace all four batteries at the same time.

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

• Do not use new and used batteries together.

General Precautions

• Do not operate unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).

• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit and arm cuff.

• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising or eating.

• Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or bend the air tube excessively.

• When removing the air tube, pull on the edge of the tube at the connection with the main unit not the middle of the tube.

• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

• 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.

2.1

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

Note: The measurement values continue to be stored in

memory even after the batteries are replaced.

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 ahead of time.

- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones at once.

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.

Four new “AAA” alkaline batteries will last for approximately 1500 measurements, when used to take two measurements a day.

Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they may have a shorter life and not last for 1500 measurements.

Correct Posture

Remove tight fitting clothing from your upper arm, and any thick clothing such as a sweater. Do not place the cuff over thick clothes and do not roll up your sleeve if it is too tight.

Sit upright with your back straight.

Place your arm on a table so that the cuff will be at the same level as your heart.

The gap between the chair and the top of the table should be between 25cm to 30cm.
