Omron M2 Basic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, pack of 2

The OMRON M2 Basic is an automatic digital upper-arm blood pressure monitor for home use, featuring IntelliSense technology, a cardiac arrhythmia indicator and one-button operation.

What is it used for?

It non-invasively measures systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate using the oscillometric method. It is a fully electronic device distributed by Omron Healthcare, designed for people who need to monitor their blood pressure regularly, whether due to diagnosed hypertension, medical follow-up or prevention. IntelliSense technology automatically adjusts the cuff inflation to suit each user, making the measurement quicker and more comfortable.

Features

• Automatic digital upper-arm blood pressure monitor with IntelliSense technology.
• Cardiac arrhythmia indicator: alerts the user if an irregular heartbeat is detected during measurement.
• Blood pressure level indicator on the display.
• Memory of the last measurement.
• Medium-sized cuff with visual adjustment guide.
• Single-button operation with automatic switch-off.

Instructions for use

1. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment if this is the first time you are using the device.
2. Sit comfortably with your back supported and your arm resting on a table at heart level.
3. Place the cuff around your bare arm (without any tight-fitting clothing), about 2 cm above the elbow, following the visual adjustment guide which indicates whether it is correctly positioned.
4. Remain still and quiet; do not speak or move during the measurement.
5. Press the single start button; the device will automatically inflate the cuff and begin the measurement.
6. Wait for the measurement to finish; the display will show your systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate, along with the blood pressure level indicator and, if any irregularities are detected, the arrhythmia symbol.
7. The device automatically saves the latest result in its memory so you can check it later.
8. Switch off the device (or it will switch off automatically after a while) and remove the cuff.

Recommendations for use

• Always take measurements at the same time of day so that you can compare results.
• Avoid smoking, consuming caffeine or exercising in the 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries, as they may affect the device’s accuracy.
• Consult your doctor if you experience persistent abnormal readings; the device is a monitoring aid and is not a substitute for professional diagnosis.
