Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-637 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Positioning Sensor (APS). This remarkable instrument is ideal for people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure because it’s so compact and easy to use. There is no tricky arm cuff, just a small, pre-formed wrist cuff that is easy to apply. With the push of a button the Omron Wrist Monitor measures your blood pressure and pulse and displays the reading

on a clear digital panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at work, and while traveling.

The Omron Wrist Monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in your wrist and converts the movements into a digital reading.

An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use and measurements are easy to obtain.

Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure because the arteries in the wrist and the arm connect. Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication

of changes in your true blood pressure.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before operating the Omron Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Positioning Sensor (APS) to assure proper use. For specific information on your own blood pressure,

CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
