Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-637 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
with Advanced Positioning Sensor (APS
®
).
Omron digital blood pressure monitors use 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 HEM-637 comes with the following components:
• Monitor • Storage Case
• Instruction Manual in English and Spanish • Two ''AA'' Batteries
The Omron HEM-637 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is intended
for home use.
Fill in for future reference.
