INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-609 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.

SERIAL NUMBER: __________________
Staple your purchase receipt here.
The monitor is compact and easy-to-use at home, at work, and during travel. Perfect for people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure.
Omron digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does
not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
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 are close to each other. Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will provide your physician with an accurate indication of changes in your blood pressure.
The Omron HEM-609 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the precautions listed below:
Consult your physician before measuring blood pressure at the wrist if you have any of the following conditions: severe hypertension, severe diabetes, severe arteriosclerosis, severe kidney disease, or vascular disease that may compromise circulation.
Read all information in the instruction book and any other literature included in the box before using the unit.
Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.
Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose.
The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants.
Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in operational failure.
Changes or modifications not approved by Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
1.Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement.
2.Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3.The cuff can be applied to your left or right wrist.
4.Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5.Position the unit at heart level throughout the measurement.
6.Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7.Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
8.Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT SYMBOL
When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (
) will appear on the display with the measurement values.
The irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that varies by more than
or less than 25% from the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION
Every time you complete a measurement the monitor stores the blood pressure and pulse rate in the memory. The Blood Pressure Monitor automatically stores up to 90 measurement values. When 90 sets of measurement values are stored in the memory, the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent measurement values.
The monitor also calculates an average reading based on the values of the three most recent measurements taken. If the date and time is not set, the measurement values will not be stored in the memory correctly.
