Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor
Model M6 AC
Instruction Manual
Check following components!

Contents
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON M6 AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON M6 AC is a compact, 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.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in
adult patient population who can understand this instruction manual with the arm
circumference range printed on the arm cuff. The device detects the appearance of irregular
heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the measurement result.

Display Symbols
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( )
When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the
measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) will appear on the
display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25%
more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the
systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) displays with your measurement
results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions
of your physician.
Movement Error Symbol ( )
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm
cuff, and wait 2-3 minutes. Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.
Average Value Symbol ( )
The average value symbol is displayed when you press and hold the memory button for more than 3 seconds. The
most recent average value appears on the display screen.
Cuff Wrap Guide Lamp ( /)
If the cuff was wrapped too loosely, it may cause unreliable results. If the wrapping of cuff is too loose, the cuff wrap
guide Lamp lights in “orange”. Otherwise lights in “green”. This is the function which is used as an aid in
determining if the cuff is wrapped snugly enough.

Blood Pressure Colour Indicator
If your systolic or diastolic pressure is above the standard range (135 mmHg for the
systolic blood pressure and/or 85 mmHg for the diastolic blood pressure), the blood
pressure colour indicator will light in “orange” when the measurement result is displayed. If
they are within the standard range, the blood pressure colour indicator will light in “green”.
The JNC7* Guideline recommends the following guideline.
These are from statistical values for blood pressure.

3. Using the Device
3.1 Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your left upper arm.
Do not place the arm cuff over thick clothes.
1. Insert the air plug into the air jack securely.
2. Wrap the arm cuff firmly in place around your left upper
arm.
The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.
Air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
3. Secure closed with the fabric fastener.
Notes:
• When you take a measurement on the right arm, the air tube will be at the side of your elbow. Be careful
not to rest your arm on the air tube. ---
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and therefore also the measured
blood pressure values can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for
measurement. If the values between both arms differ substantially, please check with your physician
which arm to use for your measurement.

2. Press the START/STOP button.
The arm cuff starts to inflate automatically.
If your systolic pressure is
more than 210 mmHg
After the arm cuff starts to inflate, press and
hold the START/STOP button until the
monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than
your expected systolic pressure.
Notes:
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.

3.4 Using the Memory Function
The monitor automatically stores the results up to 100 sets for each user (1 and 2).
It can also calculate an average value based on the last 3 measurement values taken
within 10 minutes.
Notes:
• If there are only 2 measurement values in the memory for that period, the average will be based on these
2 values.
• If there is 1 measurement value in the memory for that period, this is displayed as the average.
• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest value.
• When viewing the measurement value taken without setting the date and time, “-/ - -:--” is displayed
instead of the date and time.
To View the Measurement Values Stored in Memory
