Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-637 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
with Advanced Positioning Sensor (APS). This remarkable instrument is ideal
for people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure because it’s so
compact and easy to use. There is no tricky arm cuff, just a small, pre-formed
wrist cuff that is easy to apply. With the push of a button the Omron Wrist
Monitor measures your blood pressure and pulse and displays the reading 
on a clear digital panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at work, 
and while traveling.

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. 
An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple
to use and measurements are easy to obtain.

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 connect. Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your 
wrist will provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication 
of changes in your true blood pressure.
