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.
The Omron HEM-629 digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric
method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your
blood’s movement through your brachial 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 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is
intended for home use.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE
MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising 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. You should be
in a relaxed, seated position.
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 or 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 physical characteristics.
