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.

IntelliSense™ Technology Is An Assurance of Accuracy
Blood pressure changes throughout the day. IntelliSense technology was developed by Omron which enables your blood pressure monitor to inflate and deflate at the optimum level for each individual. This helps ensure accurate measurement, and is particularly useful for people with certain arrythmia or heart disorders.
Advanced Positioning Sensor (APS) Ensures a Reliable Measurement
Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure. The Omron Wrist (APS) Blood Pressure Monitor has a unique positioning sensor that confirms the cuff is level with the user’s heart. This helps ensure that each reading is accurate and reliable.

Suggestions Before Measuring
Blood Pressure
1.Avoid eating, smoking and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking measurement. Also rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes before taking a reading.
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 and you should be in a relaxed, seated position.
5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurements.
6.Keep a record of you blood pressure and pulse for you doctor. Remember, 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.
7.Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. Waiting allows the engorged blood vessels to return to normal. You may require more rest time between readings depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
