The OMRON M7 measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly from the arm, without the use of
an inflation bulb or stethoscope. The measurement values are stored in the memory of the OMRON M7.
The OMRON M7 includes the standard cuff for arm circumferences ranging from 22 to 42 cm.

1 How to obtain meaningful blood pressure readings
M7 English
General
• This manual contains important information for safe
use of the OMRON M7. Follow this manual to
prevent wrong measurement values, injury and
damages.
• The OMRON M7 is not suitable for measuring the
frequency of cardiac pacemakers.
• Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia
and arteriosclerosis as this can influence the
measurement.
• Store the OMRON M7 in a dry, closed place with a
temperature between -20°C and 60°C.
• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use
the OMRON M7 for 3 months or more.
Tips for use
• Check your blood pressure at least twice a day
(before breakfast, after work).
• Use the OMRON M7 only for yourself.
• Measure your blood pressure before taking an
antidepressant.
• Do not discard the air plug.
• When using the AC adapter, keep the batteries in
the main unit.
• Use both the AC adapter and the batteries to
extend battery life.
• Do not measure your blood pressure while you are
in a vehicle.
• Always measure on the same arm.
• Wrap the cuff around your arm before start of
measurement.
Caution
• Only the OMRON M7 cuff can be used on this
device. Other cuffs must not be attached.
• Operating temperature between 10°C and 40°C.
• Operating environment must be free from excessive
vibrations, shocks, electrical noise, corrosive gas,
etc.
• Stay out of sunlight during measuring.
• Keep portable phones 5 meters away during
measurement.
• Do not wrap the cuff around any object other than
your arm.
• Do not fold or crush the cuff and the air tube.
• Do not drop the OMRON M7.

8 Maintenance and spare parts
M7 English
Cleaning instruction
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe stains from the
OMRON M7.
• Use a soft, slightly moistened cloth and soap to
clean main unit and cuff of the OMRON M7.
Caution! Do not use petrol, thinners or similar
solvents!
Caution! Do not wash the cuff!
• Do not carry out repairs of any kind yourself. If a
defect occurs, consult your OMRON retail outlet or
distributor as mentioned on the packaging.
Replace cuff
• Remove the air plug to re-use it with a new cuff.
Replace batteries
• Remove the battery out of the battery
compartment and insert four new identical 1.5V
batteries type AA.
Spare parts
• Due to high company quality standards, OMRON
considers the main unit as a non-serviceable part
because of the need for proper calibration after
replacement of high tech components.
Calibration
• It is recommended to have the OMRON M7
inspected every two years to ensure correct function
and accuracy. Consult your OMRON retail outlet or
OMRON distributor as mentioned on the packaging.
Attention! Disposal of batteries and the
OMRON M7 should be carried out in
accordance with the national regulations
for the disposal of electronic products.

10 General information about blood pressure
M7 English
Blood circulation
The blood circulation is responsible for supplying the
body with oxygen. Blood pressure is the pressure
exerted on the arteries.
The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure or
top value) represents the blood pressure produced
by contraction of the heart muscle.
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower pressure or
lower value) represents the blood pressure produced
by relaxation of the heart muscle.
Classification of blood pressure
The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed the
blood pressure classification. This classification is
based on the blood pressure values measured while
sitting on a chair in the outpatient department of a
hospital.
Health and blood pressure
The incidence of hypertension increases with age. In
addition, a lack of exercise, excess body fat and high
levels of cholesterol (LDL), which sticks to the inside
in blood vessels, reduces elasticity of these vessels.
Hypertension accelerates arterial sclerosis which can
lead to very serious conditions such as stroke and
myocardial infarction. For these reasons it is very
important to know whether the blood pressure is
within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates
from minute to minute, throughout the day. Therefore
it is essential to take regular measurements to help
you identify an average blood pressure.
Symptoms of high blood pressure
High blood pressure can go unnoticed for a long
time, since it does not cause noticeable symptoms.
The following are all possible causes of abnormally
high blood pressure:
• Overweight
• High cholesterol level
According to the blood pressure classification by the WHO/ISH.
• Underlying illnesses, such as kidney disorders or
endocrine disturbance
Blood pressure measurement
Measuring your blood pressure daily enables you to
recognize high blood pressure at an early stage and
obtain medical treatment.
The oscillometric method of measurement
determines your blood pressure by measuring the
pressure fluctuations caused by the pulse waves.
Since your blood pressure fluctuates within a day
(see graphic next page), you should always measure
it at the same time each day to ensure that the
measurements are genuinely comparable. At the
doctor’s surgery, nervousness and tension may
cause your blood pressure to be higher than in
familiar circumstances at home. This is known as
“White Coat Hypertension”.
Treatment of high blood pressure
If your blood pressure reaches upper values of 140 160 mmHg and lower values of 90 - 95 mmHg in
repeated measurements over several days, you
should consult your doctor for detailed medical
examination. You can assist the treatment prescribed
by your doctor in the following ways:
• Loose weight and lower your cholesterol level by
reducing the calories and fat in your diet. Cut
down on animal fats and eat more fruit and
vegetables.
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol.
• Reduce the intake of salt: the German League for
Combating High Blood Pressure recommends six
grams of salt per day (i.e. one teaspoon) on
average.
• Stop smoking.
• Take regular exercise.
• Monitor your blood pressure.
Example: fluctuation within a day (male, 35 years old)
