Important: Blood pressure measurement is not sui-  
table in cases of serious arteriosclerosis (hardening  
of the arteries).  
Important  
instructions  
for obtaining  
meaningful  
readings  
• The pulse display is not suitable for monitoring the  
frequency of cardiac pacemakers.  
• If you suffer from disorders of heart rhythm, known  
as arrythmia, you should only use this blood pres-  
sure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In cer-  
tain cases the oscillometric measuring method can  
produce incorrect readings.  
• Pregnant women should only measure their own  
blood pressure in consultation with their doctor,  
since the readings may be changed by pregnancy.  
You should avoid eating, drinking (alcohol), smoking  
and sports before measuring your blood pressure,  
as this could affect your blood pressure level.  
• Don’t move, don’t speak while measurement is  
being taken.  
• Make yourself comfortable in a chair and relax  
before each reading.  
• We recommend that you monitor your blood pres-  
sure twice a day, in the morning after getting up and  
in the evening after work, or as advised by your  
doctor.  
Please remember: Self-measurement is not the  
same as medical treatment!  
You should never change the dose of medicines  
prescribed by your doctor.

M5-I  
OMRON M5-I is a compact, fully automatic blood  
pressure monitor. Operating on the oscillometric prin-  
ciple. It measures your blood pressure and pulse sim-  
ply and quickly. It contains an intelligent  
system for “fuzzy” controlled inflation,  
known as “Intelli-sense”. This is an  
advanced method of oscillometric measurement. No  
pre-setting or re-inflation is necessary. OMRON is the  
world leading manufacturer of blood pressure moni-  
tors with the goal to always fulfill the need for reliable  
regular monitoring.

˜ Fitting the cuff  
2 – 3 cm  
Wrap the cuff around your bare left arm so that the  
green colored band (indicating the centre of the blad-  
der) is positioned 2 – 3 cm above your elbow joint on  
the inside of your arm (see picture).  
Important! If you push up your sleeve, ensure it does  
not constrict the blood flow in your arm.  
Close the cuff with the fabric fastener. The green area  
of the cuff must cover the brachial artery.  
The standard-sized cuff is designed for an arm  
circumference of 22 – 32 cm, (for oversized cuffs  
see spare parts).  
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 obtai-  
ned is neither artificially high (measurement below  
heart level) nor low (measurement above heart level).  
Inflating the cuff  
The OMRON M5-I is a blood pressure monitor with  
an intelligent system to detect your personal blood  
pressure.  
Right hand measurement  
Using the intelligence of the „Fuzzy Logic“ this  
device determines automatically the correct level  
of inflation pressure. Just push the START button  
START  
(
).  
The cuff must only be inflated when fitted to  
your arm!

English  
š The measurement starts  
When the target inflation value is reached, the air is auto-  
matically released. The value in the display counts down-  
wards.  
As soon as the monitor detects your pulse the ( ) sym-  
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) are displayed.  
The pressure drop symbol (  
) begins to flash to announ-  
ce the end of the measurement.  
When all the air has been released the ( ) symbol appe-  
ars on the display and your blood pres-  
sure and pulse are displayed alternately for 5 minutes.  
In some rare cases there are people where this  
measuring method does not work due to physical structure.  
In such cases OMRON recommends to consult a doctor.  
Successive readings  
An interval of at least 2 – 3 minutes should be made in bet-  
ween two successive readings, otherwise the blood flow of  
the arm could be constricted, which would distort the  
results of the reading.  
Switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF (  
) button.  
The device switches off automatically after approximately 5  
minutes.  
In order to obtain meaningful readings, you should measu-  
re your blood pressure regularly at the same time of day,  
ideally every morning and evening.  
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 rate.  
Push the ( ) Button to recall stored readings while the  
Heart Symbol ( ) is displayed.  
When the memory is holding fourteen sets of readings,  
the oldest set will be deleted to store a new set.  
To delete stored readings, press the ( )Button and the  
START  
Start Button at once, then all the readings will be deleted.  
NOTE: You can not delete the stored readings partially.

• Avoid eating and drinking (alcohol, caffeine),  
smoking and sport before measuring your blood pressu-  
re, as these activities influence your blood pressure  
values.  
Hints  
• Measurement must be carried out calmly and without  
rushing. It is recommended to check your blood pressure  
at least twice a day, once in the morning after getting up  
and once in the evening after work.  
• Allow an interval of at least two or three minutes bet-  
ween two successive measurements, as otherwise a  
congestion of blood within the arm may occur which can  
distort the readings.  
• Before measuring, stretch your back and sit up straight,  
breathe normally 5-6 times, relax your shoulders and  
arms and entire body.  
• Lightly bend and find support for your elbow ( e.g. on the  
table ).  
• Do not move, talk or touch the device during measure-  
ment.  
• Stress influences your blood pressure. Relax before  
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. Recommended is  
measuring at room temperature ( 20°C).  
• Relax before measurement. If necessary go to the bath-  
room before measurement.  
• Do not measure directly after bathing.  
• When measuring in a moving vehicle the measurement  
can be influenced.  
• If you wish to interrupt measurement prematurely, press  
the (  
) button. Inflation is stopped and the air is auto-  
matically released from the cuff.  
• If you wish to repeat the measurement, follow the same  
procedure as before starting at step 4 (Inflating the cuff).  
• 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 automati-  
cally after 5 minutes.

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 pres-  
sure 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 eve-  
ning. 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.  
High Blood Pressure  
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 hyper-  
tension. 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 lifesty-  
le.  
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 understan-  
ding 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.

M5-I  
What Causes High Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure is only classed as high if it doesn’t go down when you rest. Permanently raised blood pres-  
sure 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.

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 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.
