INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omron®HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Positioning Sensor (APS

) and PC Software.

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.

The software included with this monitor can help you provide important trending information for your physician of changes in your blood pressure.

The HEM-670IT comes with the following components:

• Main Unit • 2 “AAA” Batteries • Storage Case

• Warranty Card • Serial/USB Cable • CD-ROM

• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish The Omron HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for

home use.

Fill in for future reference.

Before Using the Monitor

OPERATING THE DEVICE

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.

If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Contact a physician immediately.

If you have a condition that may compromise circulation, you may get an inaccurate reading with this device. Consult your physician before using this device.

Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the unit.

This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Do not use a cellular phone near the device. It may result in an operational failure.

Use only Omron authorized parts and accessories. Parts and accessories not approved for use with the device may damage the unit.

Use only 1.5V alkaline batteries with this device. Do not use other types of batteries. This may damage the unit.

Do not play the CD-ROM disc included with this monitor on general audio players, DVD players or personal game devices. It may damage the speaker of the device and may harm your eardrums.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor.

Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water.

Store the device and the components in a clean, safe location.

Changes or modification 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

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.

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

The American Heart Association1recommends 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

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

WARNING

Omron Healthcare recommends you contact your physician if the MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL and/or the HEARTBEAT SYMBOL appear on the display with your measurement values.
