Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M6 AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. The OMRON M6 AC 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 device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology.

Intended Use

This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population who can understand this instruction manual with the arm circumference range printed on the arm cuff. The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the measurement result.

Important Safety Information

Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

(General Usage)

Consult your physician before using the device in pregnancy including pre-eclampsia, or if diagnosed with arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis.

Do not use the device on the injured arm or the arm under medical treatment. Do not apply the arm cuff on the arm while being on an intravenous drip or blood transfusion. Consult your physician before using the device on the arm with an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. Do not use the device with other medical electrical (ME) equipment simultaneously. Do not use the device in the area the HF surgical equipment, MRI, or CT scanner exists, or in the oxygen rich environment. The air tube or the AC adapter cable may cause accidental strangulation in infants. Contained small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by infants.

(AC Adapter (optional) Usage)

Do not use the AC adapter if the device or the power cord is damaged. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord immediately. Plug the AC adapter into the appropriate voltage outlet. Do not use in a multi-outlet plug. Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with wet hands.

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)

Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are dangerous. People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a physician before using the device, as the arm cuff inflation can cause bruising.

Important Safety Information

If there are any abnormalities during the measurement, remove the arm cuff. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions. Do not inflate the arm cuff more than necessary. Do not use the device for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.

Use only the approved arm cuff for this device. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect measurement results. Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields, near the device. This may result in

incorrect operation of the device. Do not disassemble the monitor or arm cuff.

Do not use in a location with moisture, or a location where water may splash on the device. This may damage the device.

Do not use the device in a moving vehicle (car, airplane). Do not take measurements more than necessary. It may cause bruising due to blood flow interference. Consult your physician before using the device if you had a mastectomy.

(AC Adapter (optional) Usage)

Fully insert the power plug into the outlet. When disconnecting the power plug from the outlet, do not pull the power cord. Be sure to pull from the power plug

safely. When handling the power cord, take care not to do the following:

Do not damage. Do not break it. Do not tamper with it. Do not forcibly bend or pull. Do not twist. Do not bundle during use.

Do not pinch. Do not place under heavy objects. Wipe the dust off from the power plug. Unplug monitor when not in use. Disconnect the power plug before cleaning. Use only the original AC adapter designed for this device. Use of unsupported adapters may damage and/or may

be hazardous to the device.

Important Safety Information

(Battery Usage)

Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned. Use only 4 “AA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this device. Do not use other types of batteries. Do not use new and used batteries together. Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for three months or more.

General Precautions

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

• Do not press the air tube while taking a measurement.

• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor, not the tube itself.

• Do not drop the monitor or subject device to strong shocks or vibrations.

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

• Do not use the device outside the specified environment. It may cause an inaccurate reading.

• Read and follow the "Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)" in the "6. Specifications".

• Read and follow the "Correct Disposal of This Product" in "6. Specifications" when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional parts.

Display Symbols

Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( )

When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) will appear on the display with the measurement values.

An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician.

Movement Error Symbol ( )

The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2-3 minutes. Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.

Average Value Symbol ( )

The average value symbol is displayed when you press and hold the memory button for more than 3 seconds. The most recent average value appears on the display screen.

Cuff Wrap Guide Lamp ( /)

If the cuff was wrapped too loosely, it may cause unreliable results. If the wrapping of cuff is too loose, the cuff wrap guide Lamp lights in “orange”. Otherwise lights in “green”. This is the function which is used as an aid in determining if the cuff is wrapped snugly enough.

1. Know Your Device

Blood Pressure Colour Indicator

If your systolic or diastolic pressure is above the standard range (135 mmHg for the systolic blood pressure and/or 85 mmHg for the diastolic blood pressure), the blood pressure colour indicator will light in “orange” when the measurement result is displayed. If they are within the standard range, the blood pressure colour indicator will light in “green”.

The JNC7* Guideline recommends the following guideline.

General Guidelines for Blood Pressure

Prehypertension at Office Hypertension at Home

Systolic Blood Pressure 120-139 mmHg 135 mmHg

Diastolic Blood Pressure 80-89 mmHg 85 mmHg

These are from statistical values for blood pressure.

* JNC7: The Seventh Report, 2003 Dec, of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High

Blood Pressure.
