Introduction
The OMRON M6 Comfort 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 devices uses its
advanced “IntelliSense” technology.
The device also stores up to 90 measurements in memory and
calculates an average value based on the last three
measurements taken within 10 minutes. Each measurement is
stored along with the date and time of measurement.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the unit. Please keep for future reference.
For specific information about your own blood pressure,
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Important Safety Information
• Blood pressure measurement is not suitable in cases of
serious arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
• The pulse display is not suitable for monitoring the frequency
of cardiac pacemakers.
• Pregnant women should only measure their own blood
pressure in consultation with their doctor, since the readings
can be changed by pregnancy.
• Do not use the monitor on babies, young children or persons
who cannot express their consent.
• Do not use the monitor for any purpose other than measuring
blood pressure.
• The battery liquid may leak and damage the monitor. Please
observe the following points.
- When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time
(approximately three months or more), take out the batteries.
- Replace old batteries with new ones immediately.
- Do not use old and new batteries together.
- Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• Please remember: Self-measurement is not the same as
medical treatment.
• You should never change the dose of medicines prescribed
by your doctor but you can help your doctor to optimize the
treatment by documenting the measured values. If there are
unusual values, please inform your doctor immediately.
• Never unplug the power cord with wet hands.

3.1 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.
• Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes
before taking a measurement.
• 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.
