INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-629 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. 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 rate and displays the reading on a clear digital panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at work, and during travel.

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 bloodpressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure because the arteries in the wrist and the arm are close to each other. Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication of changes in your blood pressure.

Consult your physcician before measuring blood pressure at the wrist if you have any of the following conditions: severe hypertension, severe diabetes, severe arterialsclerosis, severe kidney disease, or vasculor disease that may compromise circulation.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the Omron Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. For specific information on your own blood pressure,

CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
