Introduction
The OMRON M1 Classic measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly
from the arm, without the use of a stethoscope. The measurement values are stored in
the memory of the OMRON M1 Classic.
The OMRON M1 Classic includes a standard cuff for arm circumferences ranging from
22-32 cm. Optional small cuffs (17-22 cm) and large cuffs (32-42 cm) can be applied.
1Howto obtain meaningful blood pressure readings
General
•The OMRON M1 Classic is not suitable
for measuring the frequency of cardiac
pacemakers.
•Consult your doctor during pregnancy,
arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis as this
can influence the measurement.
• Avoid eating, drinking (alcohol),
smoking, sportand taking a bath before
measurement.
• Be calm and relaxed before and during
measurement.
• You should never change the dose of
medicines prescribed by your doctor.

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.
According to the blood pressure classification by
the WHO/ISH.
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
strokeand 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
along time,since it does not cause
noticeable symptoms. The following are
all possible causes of abnormally high
blood pressure:
• Overweight
•High cholesterol level
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Stress and emotional upset
•Excessiveconsumption of salt
• Lack of physical exercise
•Genetic/hereditarypredisposition
• Underlying illnesses,such as kidney
disorders or endocrine disturbance

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.
