Introduction
AC adapter:
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M3 Family Digital Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON M3 Family 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

Notes:
• When you take a measurement on the right
arm, air tube will be at the side of your
elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on
the air tube.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm,
and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be
different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for
measurement. If the values between the two arms differ substantially,
please check with your physician which arm to use for your
measurement.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated, under
comfortable room temperature. No eating,
smoking or exercising 30 minutes before
taking a measurement.
• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• The cuff should be at the same level as your
heart.

The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that indicates if the cuff is not
wrapped tightly enough around the arm. Even when the
is displayed, a
blood pressure reading will be taken.
Note: This reading is NOT reliable due to the incorrect wrapping of the cuff.
Please wrap the cuff again, taking care to wrap it correctly and take the
measurement again.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC's and mobile
(cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to
electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference
may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially
unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility)
with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007
standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to
electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this
EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate
strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may
result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct operation
of the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON
HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
