Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M3 Intellisense Upper
Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON M3 Intellisense 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 for
pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its
advanced “IntelliSense” technology.
The unit also stores up to 42 measurements in memory and
calculates an average reading based on the three most recent
measurements taken within 10 minutes of the last reading. (If
there are only two readings in memory for that period, the
average will be based on two readings. If there is only one
reading in memory for that period, that reading will be
displayed as the average value.)
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the unit. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Battery Life & Replacement
If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace
all four batteries at the same time.
- When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still
be able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace
the batteries with new ones ahead of time.
- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries are
exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones
at once.Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three
months or more.
• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds,
the Date/Time setting will need to be reset. See “2.2 Setting
the Date and Time” for details.
• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.
Four new “AA”alkaline batteries will last for approximately
1500 measurements, when used to take two measurements a
day.

How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement
You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm.
Notes:
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you
should be in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the
room is not too hot or cold.
• Do not take measurement after bathing, drinking alcohol, or
exercising.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.
Correct
Posture Remove tight fitting clothing from
your upper arm, and any thick
clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick
clothes and do not roll up your sleeve
if it is too tight.
Sit upright
with your
back straight. Place your arm on a table so
that the cuff will be at the same
level as your heart.
The gap between the
chair and the top of the
table should be between
25cm to 30cm.

3.Using the Unit
EN
Notes:
• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get
accurate results.
• You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the
same time each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is
recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to
strain or the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions
etc., to adjust the height of your arm.
•Arched back (leaning
forwards)
•Sitting cross-legged
•Sitting on a sofa or at a low
table so that you tend to lean
forward

3.Using the Unit
3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff
Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate
results.
Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please
remove thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a
reading.
1. Insert the air plug into the air jack on
the left side of the main unit.
2. Put your left arm through the cuff
loop.
The air tube should run down the
inside of your forearm and be in line
with your middle finger.

3.Using the Unit
EN
2. Check the measurement results.
The unit automatically stores blood
pressure and pulse rate into its
memory. Refer to “3.5 Using the
Memory Function”.
The buzzer will sound when
measurement is completed.
Notes:
• Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are
dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
• Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries
to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement.
Important:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside
the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will
blink when the measurement result is
displayed.
Recent research suggests that the following
values can be used as a guide to high blood
pressure for measurements taken at home.
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria,
please refer to Chapter 9 “Some Useful Information about
Blood Pressure”.

3.Using the Unit
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats
can influence the results of the measurement.
The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically
determines if the measurement is usable or
needs to be repeated. If the measurement
results are affected by irregular heartbeats but
the result is valid, the result is shown together
with the irregular heartbeat icon. If the irregular heartbeats
cause the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If
the irregular heartbeat icon ( ) is shown after you have
taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the
irregular heartbeat icon is shown frequently, please make
your doctor aware of it.
What is Irregular Heartbeat?
An irregular heartbeat is a
heartbeat rhythm that varies
by more than 25% from the
average heartbeat rhythm
detected while the unit is
measuring the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm is
detected more than twice
during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( )
appears on the symbol when the measurement results are
displayed.
