Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M2 Basic Upper Arm Blood
Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON M2 Basic is a 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.
The unit also stores the last measurement value in memory.
Intended Use
This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate
of people within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the
instructions in this instruction manual.
It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the
Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the
unit.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using
the unit. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
