Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M2 Basic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.

The OMRON M2 Basic 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 the last measurement value 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.

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

• 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.

Operating instructions

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.
