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.

Intended Use

This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate

of people within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the

instructions in this instruction manual.

It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the

Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the

unit.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using

the unit. For specific information about your own blood

pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Before using the unit

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.

• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should

consult a doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause

internal bleeding.

(AC Adapter Usage)

• Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with

wet hands.

(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 or arm cuff.

• 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. This could result in injury when the

air pressure in the air tube is increased.

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.

(AC Adapter Usage)

• Use only the original AC adapter (optional) designed for this unit. Use

of unsupported adapters may damage and/or may be hazardous to

the unit.

• Plug the AC adapter into the appropriate voltage outlet.

• Do not use the AC adapter if the unit or the power cord is damaged.

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord immediately.

(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 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 air plug at the connection with

the main unit not the tube itself.

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

Important Safety Information

Installing/Replacing the Batteries

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.

size batteries so that the

+ (positive) and - (negative)

polarities match the

polarities indicated on the

battery compartment.

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.

• 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 300

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 do not last for 300 measurements.

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.

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 so that it becomes tight

around the arm.

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.
