➌Fitting the cuff

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).

➍Inflating the cuff

The OMRON M5-I is a blood pressure monitor with an intelligent system to detect your personal blood pressure.

Using the intelligence of the „Fuzzy Logic“ this device determines automatically the correct level of inflation pressure. Just push the START button ( ).

The cuff must only be inflated when fitted to your arm!
