Introduction
The OMRON M6 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 “Intelli-
Sense” technology.
The device also stores up to 90 measurements in memory and
calculates an average value based on the last three measure-
ments. Each measurement is stored along with the date and
time of measurement.

Important Safety Information

• Blood pressure measurement is not suitable in cases of seri-
ous 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 pres-
sure 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.
• Do not use a cellular phone near the monitor. This may result
in the monitor operating incorrectly.

4.Using the Monitor
4.2 Taking a Reading
1. Press the O/I START button and remain still, the cuff will start
to inflate automatically.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically deter-

mines your ideal inflation level. Remain still and do not talk until
measurement is completed.
Note: Do not inflate the cuff if it is not wrapped around your
arm.
2. Inflation stops automatically

and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates,
decreasing numbers appear
on the display and the Heart-
beat display flashes at every heartbeat.
In rare circumstances, the monitor might re-inflate the cuff to
continue with the measurement.
3. When the measurement is complete, the arm

cuff completely deflates and your blood pres-
sure and pulse rate are displayed.
Note: The monitor automatically stores the
blood pressure readings and pulse rate
along with date and time of measurement in its memory.

4.Using the Monitor
4. Press the O/I START button to turn

the monitor off.
Note: If you forget to turn the moni-
tor off, it will automatically
shut itself off after five minutes.
Important:
• Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure meas-
urement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to
return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement.
• If you move during measurement, the movement display
( ) may appear. Repeat the measurement and remain still
until the measurement is complete.
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular heartbeat
feature. Irregular heartbeats can influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular heartbeat algorithm automati-
cally determines if the measurement is usable or needs to be
repeated. If the irregular heartbeat display ( ) is shown
after your have taken a measurement, repeat the measure-
ment. If the irregular heartbeat display ( ) is shown fre-
quently, please make your doctor aware of it.
EN
Instructions for special conditions
If your systolic pressure is known to
be more than 220 mmHg, after the
cuff starts to inflate, press and hold
the O/I START button until the moni-
tor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher
than your suspected systolic pressure.
Important:
• The monitor will not inflate above 300 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
15
4.Using the Monitor
What is Irregular Heartbeat?

An irregular heartbeat is a Normal Heartbeat
heartbeat rhythm that varies Pulse
by more than 25% from the
average heartbeat rhythm Blood pressure
detected while the unit is Irregular Heartbeat
measuring the systolic and Short Long
diastolic blood pressure. Pulse
If such an irregular rhythm is Blood pressure
detected more than twice dur-
ing measurement, the irregular heartbeat display ( )
appears on the display when the measurement results are dis-
played. If too many irregular rhythms are detected during
measurement, the irregular heartbeat display appears ( )
but no measurement is displayed.
What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract.
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnor-
mal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the
heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats, prema-
ture contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow
(bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart disease,
aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc.
Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor through a spe-
cial examination.
Whether the appearance of irregular heartbeat display ( ) in
the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be determined
by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.
If the irregular heartbeat display ( ) is shown frequently,
please make your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis
and treatment based on measurement results is dangerous. Be
sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.

4.Using the Monitor
4.3 Using the Memory Function

This monitor has a memory capable of storing 90 sets of read-
ings. Every time you complete the measurement, the monitor
automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate. The moni-
tor also calculates an average reading based on the measure-
ments from the last three readings.
Note: To ensure that the measurement results are recorded
correctly, make sure that the date and time are set cor-
rectly before taking a measurement.
When 90 sets of readings are stored in memory, the old-
est set will be deleted to store a new set.

9.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure
9. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing
against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is con-
stantly changing during the course of the heart's cycle.
The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood
Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.
Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are neces-
sary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient's
blood pressure.
Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure at

Home?
Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause
anxiety which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a vari-
ety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single measurement
may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of
day, can influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try
and measure your blood pressure at the same time each day,
to get an accurate indication of any changes in blood pressure.
Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases
from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher
in the winter.
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg)
and measurements are written with the systolic pressure
before the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 140/90, is
referred to as 140 over 90 mmHg.
