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.

Your new 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 BP629 comes with the following components:

• Monitor - Storage Case - 2 "AAA" Alkaline Batteries
• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish - Quick Start Guide

The BP629 IntelliSense® Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:

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. 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.
8. 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.

UNIT dDISPLAY

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT SYMBOL

When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (①) will appear on the display with the measurement values.

An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that varies by less than 25% from the average rhythm or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

If the irregular heartbeat symbol (O) displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your doctor.

MOVEMENT ERROR SYMBOL

The Movement Error Symbol (s) displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the wrist cuff, and wait 2-3 minutes. Reapply the wrist cuff and take another measurement.

Internationally recognized guidelines for upper limit of normal home blood pressure readings are as follows:

Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP

Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg

Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity. A lower home blood pressure goal may be recommended for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure.
