As the worlds leading manufacturer OMRON provides a range of products for regular blood pressure monitoring. 3 M4-I English OMRON M4-I is a compact, fully automatic blood pressure monitor. Monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly. It contains an intelligent “fuzzy logic” system for controlled inflation, known as “Intelli-sense”. This is an advanced method of oscillometric measurement. and does not require pressure pre-setting or re-inflation. OMRON is the world leading manufacturer of blood pressure monitors with the goal to always fulfill the need for reliable regular monitoring. Your blood pressure monitor: the benefits Measuring your blood pressure ➊ Preparing the unit Open the battery compartment and insert 4 x 1.5v batteries (supplied). Ensure polarity (+/-) of the batteries is correct. Insert air tube to air jack (on the left side of the device). The cuff must be airless. Cuff ➋ Switching on the unit Air Jack Green area -I M4 YS S Hg mm Air Tube RT STA DIAHg mm When you press the ( ) button all the symbols on the display light up for approximately two seconds in order to check the display. /min LSE PU Then all the symbols disappear and the air release symbol ( ) begins to flash. LCD Display SY mm S M4 Hg Air Jack -I DIA mm Hg PU Systolic Blood Pressure Display LSE Air Plug (connects to the air jack) When preparations for measurement are complete the ( ) symbol appears in the display to indicate that the monitor is ready to take a blood pressure measurement. Battery Compartment /mi n STA RT Diastolic Blood Pressure/ Pulse Display ON/OFF (O/I) button Memory button START ( 4 ) button 5 M4-I English ➎ The measurement starts ➌ Fitting the cuff When the target inflation value is reached, the air is automatically released. The value in the display counts downwards. 1 - 2 cm Wrap the cuff around your bare left arm so that the green colored band (indicating the centre of the bladder) is positioned 1 – 2 cm above your elbow joint on the inside of your arm (see picture). As soon as the monitor detects your pulse the ( bol begins to flash. When the monitor no longer detects your pulse whilst the cuff pressure is dropping, your systolic and diastolic blood pressures (upper and lower values) will be displayed. Important! If you push up your sleeve, ensure it does not constrict the blood flow in your arm. The deflation symbol ( ) will now flash to indicate the end of the measurement. Close the cuff with the fabric fastener. The green area of the cuff must cover the brachial artery. When all the air has been released the ( ) symbol appears on the display and your blood pressure and pulse will be displayed on the screen for 5 minutes. The standard-sized cuff is designed for an arm circumference of 22 – 32 cm. To ensure accurate readings on arms with a circumference greater than 32 cm a large cuff will be required. (large cuff code: CL) Right hand measurement ) sym- In some rare cases there are people where this measuring method does not work due to physical structure. In such cases OMRON recommends you to consult a doctor. ➏ Successive readings Lay your arm on a table or support (e.g. a cushion) with the palm of your hand facing upwards so that the cuff is approximately at heart level. In this way you ensure that the blood pressure measurement obtained is neither artificially high (measurement below heart level) nor low (measurement above heart level). Please leave an interval of at least 2 – 3 minutes should be made in between two successive readings, otherwise the blood flow of the arm could be constricted, which would distort the results of the reading. ➍ Inflating the cuff In order to obtain meaningful readings, you should measure your blood pressure regularly at the same time of day, ideally every morning and evening. Switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF ( ) button. The device switches off automatically after approximately 5 minutes. The OMRON M4-I is a blood pressure monitor with an intelligent system to detect your personal blood pressure. ➐ How to use the memory function This monitor has a memory capable of storing fourteen sets of readings. Every time you complete the measurement, the monitor automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate values. S T A R T Using the intelligence of the “Fuzzy Logic” this device determines automatically the correct level of inflation pressure. Just push the START button ( ). Push the ( ) button to recall stored readings while the Heart Symbol ( ) is displayed. Once the memory holds fourteen sets of readings, the oldest set will be deleted to store a new set. The cuff must only be inflated when fitted to your arm! S T A R T To delete stored readings, press the ( )button and the Start Button together, then all the readings will be deleted. NOTE: You can not delete stored readings partially. 6 7 M4-I Hints on taking blood pressure readings English • Before measuring, stretch your back and sit up straight, breathe normally 5-6 times, relax your shoulders, arms and entire body. • Slightly bend and support your elbow ( e.g. on a table ). • Do not move, talk or touch the device during measurement. • Stress influences your blood pressure, so try to relax before taking a measurement. • To compare results, measurements must always be taken from the same arm. • Do not place the cuff over thick clothes and do not roll up your sleeve if it is too tight. • Align the cuff with the height of your heart (breast height). If necessary use a pillow or cushion. • Coldness raises your blood pressure. It is recommended to measure at room temperature ( +20°C). • Relax before measurement. If necessary go to the bathroom before measurement. • Do not measure directly after bathing. • If you wish to interrupt measurement prematurely, press the ( ) button. Inflation is stopped and the air is automatically released from the cuff. • If you wish to repeat the measurement, follow the same procedure as before starting at step 4 (Inflating the cuff). • Blood pressure measurements taken in a moving vehicle may be influenced by vibration. • If an error has occurred during measurement E is displayed. Please refer to the next chapter. • The monitor should be switched off after measurement to avoid running down the batteries unnecessarily. If you forget to do so, the monitor switches itself off automatically after 5 minutes. Failure, causes and rectification Incorrect measurement is indicated by E 1.

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 constantly 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 necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure. Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can influence your 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. Spare parts & accessories High Blood Pressure Due to high company quality standards, OMRON considers the main unit as a non-serviceable part because of the necessity of proper calibration after replacement of high-tech components. The discovery that you have high blood pressure is more often than not a chance finding. People with high blood pressure usually feel well unless the blood pressure has been high for some time, and complications have occurred. Such complications may effect the heart, brain and other important organs. They may bring on ill health and affect your enjoyment of life. It is because of the complications, rather than the high blood pressure itself, that this condition is taken so seriously today. High blood pressure is sometimes referred to as raised blood pressure, elevated blood pressure, or hypertension. Most people with this condition require regular long-term drug treatment, usually in the form of tablets. Some can lower their blood pressure sufficiently by other means, such as changing diet and lifestyle. People who have high blood pressure, and who also understand their condition, have an advantage. They are more likely to attend for regular check-ups, to cooperate with advised diets and changes in lifestyle, and to take medicines correctly. This immediately leads to better health. It is hoped that, by a better understanding of high blood pressure and how it is treated, you will take an active and informed part in your health care, and so enjoy a better quality of life. 13 What Causes High Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is only classed as high if it doesn t go down when you rest. Permanently raised blood pressure can be caused by several factors such as hardening of the arteries, smoking or drinking too much alcohol. It can also be caused by cholesterol, a type of fat, building up inside your blood vessels and making them narrower. Being under stress can add to the problem. High blood pressure is also known to run in families hence if you find you have a high blood pressure it is a good idea to test other closely related members of your family.

Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety which is a cause itself of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis. The blood pressure measured first thing in the morning after getting up, before eating and while at rest, is known as the fundamental blood pressure. In practice it is rather difficult to record the fundamental blood pressure, but it is important to get readings in an environment that is as close as possible to this. Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) Classification of Blood Pressure by the World Heath Organization Severe hypertension 180 Moderate hypertension 160 The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertention (ISH) devolloped the Blood Pressure Classification shown in this figure. This classification is based on the blood presure values measured on people in a sitting position in outpatient departments of hospitals. *There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension. However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg are assumed as hypotensive. 14 Mild hypertension 140 Nomal systoric value 130 Nomal blood pressure 120 Diastoric blood pressure Optimal biood pressure (target value) (mmHg) 80 85 90 100 110 According to the blood pressure classification by the WHO/ISH* (revised in 1999) * International Society of Hypertension
