M5-I
➌ Fitting the cuff
Wrap the cuff around your bare left arm so that the
green colored band (indicating the centre of the blad-
der) is positioned 1 – 2 cm above your elbow joint on
the inside of your arm (see picture).
Important! If you push up your sleeve, ensure it does
not constrict the blood flow in your arm.
Close the cuff with the fabric fastener. The green area
of the cuff must cover the brachial artery.
The standard-sized cuff is designed for an arm
circumference of 22 – 32 cm, (for oversized cuffs
see spare parts).
Lay your arm on a table or support (e.g. a cushion)
with the palm of your hand facing upwards so that the
cuff is approximately at heart level. In this way you
ensure that the blood pressure measurement obtai-
ned is neither artificially high (measurement below
heart level) nor low (measurement above heart level).
➍ Inflating the cuff
The OMRON M5-I is a blood pressure monitor with
an intelligent system to detect your personal blood
pressure.
Using the intelligence of the „Fuzzy Logic“ this
device determines automatically the correct level
of inflation pressure. Just push the START button
().
The cuff must only be inflated when fitted to
your arm!
➎ The measurement starts
When the target inflation value is reached, the air is auto-
matically released. The value in the display counts down-
wards.
As soon as the monitor detects your pulse the ( ) sym-
bol begins to flash.
When the monitor no longer detects your pulse whilst the
cuff pressure is dropping, your systolic and diastolic blood
pressures (upper and lower values) are displayed.
The pressure drop symbol ( ) begins to flash to announ-
ce the end of the measurement.
When all the air has been released the ( ) symbol appe-
ars on the display and your blood pres-
sure and pulse are displayed for 5 minutes.
In some rare cases there are people where this
measuring method does not work due to physical structure.
In such cases OMRON recommends to consult a doctor.
➏ Successive readings
An interval of at least 2 – 3 minutes should be made in bet-
ween two successive readings, otherwise the blood flow of
the arm could be constricted, which would distort the
results of the reading.
Switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF ( ) button.
The device switches off automatically after approximately 5
minutes.
In order to obtain meaningful readings, you should measu-
re your blood pressure regularly at the same time of day,
ideally every morning and evening.
➐ How to use the memory function
This monitor has a memory capable of storing fourteen sets
of readings. Every time you complete the measurement, the
monitor automatically stores blood pressure and rate.
Push the ( ) Button to recall stored readings while the
Heart Symbol ( ) is displayed.
When the memory is holding fourteen sets of readings,
the oldest set will be deleted to store a new set.
To delete stored readings, press the ( )Button and the
Start Button at once, then all the readings will be deleted.
NOTE: You can not delete the stored readings partially.
