Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Omron M5 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. This
completely automatic instrument quickly measures your blood pressure and pulse
rate and displays them on an extra large digital panel.
Your new M5 uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This
means the monitor detects your blood’s movement through your brachial artery and
converts the movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not
need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use. The cuff fills with air at the push
of a button and automatically deflates when the measurement is complete. Error indi-
cators alert you to incorrect procedures and an automatic power-off function con-
serves the batteries:
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the
Omron M5 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor.
