Omron M2 Basic Blood Pressure Monitor
The M2 Basic fully automatic upper arm blood pressure monitor gives you comfortable, quick and accurate blood pressure monitoring. It measures your blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. Accuracy as well as comfort is ensured with Intellisense technology, which always inflates the cuff to the peak pressure that is tailored to your own blood pressure level, ensuring a more comfortable measurement.
Hypertension – what is blood pressure?
The heart is a very powerful pump that beats steadily
The pressure created by the heart to pump the blood through the blood vessels is called blood pressure
When the heart muscle contracts the blood surges through the arteries – this is when the systolic (upper) blood pressure value occurs
The diastolic (lower) value is the resting pressure before the heart contracts again
Ideally your blood pressure should be below 140/85 mmHg
There are approximately 16 million people in the UK with high blood pressure, however nearly two thirds are not aware of the fact, which is understandable when there are no symptoms. However, if left, high blood pressure can lead to strokes and heart problems.
An Intellisense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use
No adjustments are required by the user to select an inflation level

The technology- Easy Cuff
The M2 Basic comes complete with a medium sized Easy Cuff (22-32 cm) which makes it even easier to fit he cuff correctly on your arm.
Clinically validated
Every OMRON blood pressure monitor is tested for accuracy against the clinical guidelines for measuring blood pressure that are specified by the European Society of Hypertension. A clinically validated monitor means that it has undergone tests conducted by independent doctors according to a predetermined protocol, which includes ensuring the accuracy of the measurements (algorithm) of the blood pressure monitors.
