2.1 Battery Installation
1. Remove the battery cover.
The monitor automatically stores the results up to 60 sets for each user (1 and
2). It can also calculate an average value based on the last 3 measurement
values taken within 10 minutes.
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated, under
comfortable room temperature. Avoid
bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine,
smoking, exercising or eating 30 minutes
before taking a measurement.

The OMRON M3 IT 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 device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology.
3.3 Taking a Measurement

Intended Use
Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the
national/local regulations for the disposal of batteries.
• Remain still while taking a measurement.
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population who can understand this instruction manual
with the arm circumference range printed on the arm cuff. The device detects the
appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal
with the measurement result.
The monitor is designed to take measurements and store the measurement
values in the memory for 2 people using USER ID 1 and USER ID 2.
Note: The cuff wrap guide result appears on
the display with the measurement
values. The cuff wrap guide lamp will not
light.

3.1 Applying the Arm Cuff
Notes:
Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your left upper arm.
Do not place the arm cuff over thick clothes.
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with wet hands.
Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or
damage to the equipment or other property.
1. Insert the air plug into the air jack
securely.
3. Remove the arm cuff.
4. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off.

Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and
self-treatment are dangerous.
People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a
physician before using the device, as the arm cuff inflation can cause bruising.
If there are any abnormalities during the measurement, remove the arm cuff.
Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.
Do not inflate the arm cuff more than necessary.
1. Open the USB port cover.
Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another measurement. Waiting between
measurements allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to

Notes:
General Precautions
• When you take a measurement on the right
arm, the air tube will be at the side of your
• Do not forcibly crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.
• Do not press the air tube while taking a measurement.
• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor, not
the tube itself.
elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the
air tube.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and
therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different.
OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the
values between both arms differ substantially, please check with your
physician which arm to use for your measurement.
Note: You cannot partially delete the values stored in the memory.
All values for the user you select will be deleted.
• Do not drop the monitor or subject device to strong shocks or vibrations.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
• Do not use the device outside the specified environment. It may cause an
inaccurate result.
• Read and follow the "Important information regarding Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC)" in the "6. Specifications".
• Read and follow the "Correct Disposal of This Product" in "6. Specifications" when
disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional parts.
