Introduction

The OMRON M6 Comfort 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 taken within 10 minutes. Each measurement is stored along with the date and time of measurement.

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