INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON®HEM-650 Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with A.P.S.

Fill-in for future reference

DATE PURCHASED: ________________

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 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 with A.P.S.

HEM-650 Automatic 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:

þ 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.

þ Read all information in the instruction book and any other

literature included in the box before using the unit.

þ Contact your physician for specific information about your blood

pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.

þ Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for

any other purpose.

þ The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and

pulse rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants.

þ Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in

operational failure.

þ 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, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing 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. Always measure your blood pressure on the same 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.

Wrapping the wrist cuff is one of the most important points for taking a correct measurement.

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE LEFT WRIST

1. Roll up sleeve. Make sure your sleeve is not rolled up too tightly on your arm. This may constrict the flow of blood in your arm.

2. Wrap the cuff directly against your skin. Do not apply over clothing. Place the cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb facing upward.

3. Position the cuff leaving a clearance of approximately 1/2 to 1 inch between the cuff and the bottom of your palm.

4. Hold the bottom part of the cuff and wrap it around the wrist so it fits comfortably and securely around your wrist.

NOTE: Make sure the wrist cuff does not

cover the protruding part of the wrist bone on the outside of the wrist.

5. Fold the remaining part of the wrist cuff back out of the way.

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT WRIST

When taking a measurement using the right wrist position the cuff as shown in the illustration.

Make sure the right wrist measurement symbol is displayed. Refer to page 10, Wrist Measurement Selection to select “on”.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

1. Sit comfortably in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

2. Press the START/STOP button.

3. Hold your arm across your chest at heart level. Hold your elbow firmly to avoid body movement. Sit still and do not talk or move during the measurement.

4. Description of position sensor activity during measurement.

Blip Blip

Adjust the height of your wrist until the position sensor alarm beeps slowly. When the monitor senses that your arm is in the correct position, the wrist cuff will automatically start to inflate and measurement starts.

NOTE: If your wrist is too low or too high, the position sensor

alarm will emit a series of two short bleeps similar to a heartbeat.

The current time is displayed and the Heart Symbol starts to flash while the cuff is inflating.

Hold the monitor at heart level until the measurement is completed.

NOTE: To stop the inflation or measurement, push the

START/STOP button. The monitor will stop inflating, start deflating, and will turn off.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

5. After the monitor has detected your blood pressure and pulse

rate, the cuff automatically deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.

Alternating Display

NOTE: The time and date of the measurement are

displayed alternately.

Press the START/STOP button

to turn the monitor off.

NOTE: The monitor will automatically turn off after two minutes.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT FEATURE

The irregular heartbeat feature automatically determines if the measurement is usable.

If the measurement results are affected by irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is shown together with the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( ).

If the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( ) is shown after you have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement.

If the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please notify your doctor.
