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.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE

MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE

KNOW YOUR UNIT

1. Eating, smoking, and exercising within 30 minutes

before taking a measurement may affect your blood
pressure. To take baseline blood pressure, rest for
at least 5 minutes before taking a reading.

2. Mental stress raises blood pressure.

3. Throughout the measurement, the

unit should be held at your heart
level. The carring case is large
enough to raise the arm to
heart level.

4. Remain still and do not talk

during the measurement.
