Omron M3-COMFORT user manual

The irregular heartbeat symbol on the Omron Blood Pressure Monitor indicates that an irregular heartbeat has been detected during the measurement. This symbol is represented by a small heart with irregular waves around it. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if this symbol appears frequently or if you have concerns about your heart health.

The Omron M3 and M3 Comfort are both blood pressure monitors manufactured by Omron, but they have some differences in terms of features and design.
1. Cuff Design: The M3 Comfort comes with a pre-formed Intelli Wrap Cuff, which is designed to fit a wide range of arm sizes (22 cm - 42 cm) comfortably. The M3, on the other hand, has a standard cuff that fits arm sizes between 22 cm - 32 cm. The Intelli Wrap Cuff of the M3 Comfort ensures accurate measurements regardless of the cuff placement on the arm.
2. Measurement Technology: Both models use IntelliSense technology for automatic inflation and deflation of the cuff. This ensures accurate and comfortable measurements. However, the M3 Comfort also includes an additional feature called "Comfort Cuff," which is designed to reduce discomfort and ensure a comfortable measuring experience.
3. Display and Controls: The M3 Comfort has a larger, easy-to-read display compared to the M3 model. It also features a multi-colored indicator to give visual feedback on blood pressure levels, while the M3 has a monochromatic display.
4. Memory and Averaging: The M3 Comfort has a memory capacity for 2 users (2 x 60 readings) and is also equipped with an averaging function that calculates the average of the last three readings taken within a span of ten minutes. The M3, on the other hand, has a memory capacity for only one user (60 readings) and does not have an averaging function.
5. Additional Features: The M3 Comfort includes a hypertension indicator, which displays a symbol on the screen if the blood pressure readings are above the recommended range. This can be helpful for users to identify if their blood pressure is within a healthy range. The M3 does not have this feature.
It's important to note that while the Omron M3 Comfort has some additional features and a more advanced cuff design than the M3 model, both models are reliable blood pressure monitors that provide accurate readings. The choice between the two may depend on individual needs and preferences.
