INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-629 Portable Wrist Blood
Pressure Monitor.

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.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should
always be followed including the precautions listed below:
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.
Read all information in the instruction book and any other literature
included in the box before using the unit.
Contact your physician for specific information about your blood
pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.
Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose.
The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse
rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants.
Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result
in operational failure.
Changes or modifications not approved by the manufacturer will
void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair
the unit or components.

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.

wrist cuff so that it can be wrapped snugly.
3. Lightly press the velcro with your finger so that
it is fastened tightly.
