SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the Omron®HEM-629 IntelliSense®
Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.
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®HEM-629 IntelliSense®Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor is intended for home use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
4
To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures
should always be followed including the precautions listed below:
þConsult 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.
þRead all information in the instruction book and any other
literature included in the box before using the unit.
þContact your physician for specific information about your blood
pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.
þOperate the unit only as intended. Do not use for
any other purpose.
þThe unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants or
persons who cannot express their intentions.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
5
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.
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.
