INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Omron®HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Positioning Sensor (APS
®
).
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.
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 arm and wrist connect.
Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will provide your physician with an accurate indication of changes in your blood pressure.
The HEM-650 comes with the following components:
• Main Unit • 2 “AAA” Batteries • Storage Case
• Warranty Card
• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish
The Omron HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use.
Fill in for future reference.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing for at least 30 minutes before taking measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking a 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 and you should be in a relaxed, seated position.
5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurements.
6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse for your physician. A single measurement may 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. 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.

INTELLISENSE®TECHNOLOGY IS AN ASSURANCE OF ACCURACY
Blood pressure changes throughout the day. IntelliSense
®
Technology automatically determines the optimum amount of pressure required to quickly and comfortably measure your blood pressure. This helps to ensure an accurate measurement.
ADVANCED POSITIONING SENSOR (APS
®
) ENSURES A RELIABLE
MEASUREMENT
Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure. The Omron Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS
®
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.

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.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is more than 25% slower or 25% faster from the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your doctor.

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends the following guideline for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home blood pressure goal for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure

Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.
Omron Healthcare recommends you contact your physician if the HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( ) appears on the display with your measurement values. Follow the directions of your doctor.
