Notes on Safety
Important instructions for obtaining meaningful readings
Avoid eating and drinking (alcohol), smoking, sport and taking medicines before measuring your blood pressure as this could affect your blood pressure level.
Before you start sit comfortably on a chair and relax. It is recommended to check your blood pressure at least twice a day, in the morning after getting up and in the evening after work, or as advised by your doctor.
Do not move and do not speak while the measurement is being taken. Avoid measuring your blood pressure while you are in a moving vehicle.
Allow an interval of at least three minutes between readings. Otherwise congestion of blood might occur and distort the readings. Always remove the cuff between readings.
Bare your wrist and take of your watch and jewellery before applying the cuff. Do not constrict the flow of your blood if you push up your sleeve.
Cautions
Blood pressure measurement is not suitable in case of serious arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
The pulse rate indicator is not suitable for monitoring the frequency of cardiac pacemakers.
If you suffer from disorders of heart rhythm, known as arrythmia, you should only use this blood pres- sure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In certain cases oscillometric measurement methods can produce incorrect readings.

Your blood pressure monitor: the benefits
The OMRON 637IT is a compact fully automatic wrist blood pressure monitor. Operating on the oscil- lometric principle it measures your blood pressure and pulse rate comfortable and quickly from the wrist. It contains an intelligent system for “fuzzy” controlled inflation, known as “Intellisense”. This is an advanced method of oscillometric measurement. No
The OMRON 637IT has a Position Sensor. The Position Sensor is able to determine the optimal height of your wrist (heart level) for the blood pressure measurement. Measuring at the heart level is extremely important since measuring at a higher or lower position will give wrong results.
The OMRON 637IT has a large DOT matrix display enabling you to enlarge the digits and showing you graphs. Together with the USB computer interface and the built in alarm function for same time measurements or pill intake your OMRON 637IT is the optimal device to manage your blood pres- sure.
