Product Information

Bilo G, Sala O, Perego C, et al. Impact of cuff positioning on blood pressure measurement accuracy: may a specially designed cuff make a difference?. Hypertens Res. 2017;40(6):573–580. It is important to ensure the arm cuff you are using with your monitor is the correct size for you. If the incorrect cuff is used the result may be an inaccurate reading and/or the cuff will be damaged (air bladder). Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications and stress, so it is important to regularly monitor your blood pressure at home. The M3 Comfort is a well-balanced model that sits in the middle of the Omron Blood Pressure monitors lineup. It has no fancy features like Bluetooth compatibility but offers better measuring results compared to cheaper Omron devices. This is largely achieved owing to the addition of the upgraded arm cuff that is supposed to reduce the number of false readings which might occur when traditional cuffs are not positioned properly. By the way, the cuff has a universal fit and suits any arm circumference from 22 to 42 cm. The armband is high-quality with reliable velcro and the fit isn't too tight. We also like that the cuff has a piece of foam bar at the end to prevent sliding.

The easy way to get accurate results. The M3 comfort comes with Omron’s unique Intelli Wrap Cuff, which takes the hassle out of placing the cuff in the right position on your upper arm. As you measure, further help comes from the Cuff wrap guide, which will indicate you’ve correctly fastened the cuff. While measuring your blood pressure, you’ll need to sit still to ensure an accurate reading. However, if you do move, the body movement detector will let you know if there’s been too much movement, to avoid inaccurate blood pressure readings.

It's a semi-rigid all-around 360° measuring cuff with a non-fluffy type of velcro (standard arm cuffs used in previous Omron models have a measurement area in one section only). Therefore, the new cuff not only automatically curls around your arm but also takes accurate measurements regardless of how it's rotated around the arm.

Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm.
