Customer Reviews of Omron HEM-637 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Positioning Sensor
Customer Review: My CARDIOLOGIST Told Me To Buy This Exact Brand & Model
Summary: 5 Stars
I love my Omron 637 wrist blood pressure monitor. It is so convenient -- especially with the Advanced Positioning Sensor.* It saves 90 measurements, you can view graphs with the results and helps me to understand what my body is going through. My cardiologist told me to buy this particular brand and model (he gave me another suggestion but said it wasn't as good as this one). I especially liked it when I felt very weak shopping at a department store after giving blood earlier in the day -- when I went home (with aid of my family), I took a reading and found that I was suffering from a vasovagal episode - sudden low blood pressure. I appreciated knowing the readings over the next few days to see my gradual return to normal pressure.
I am sure that a trained and experienced medical technician with an arm cuff blood pressure monitor could do a more perfect job but this is just what a person at home can use and not worry it is innacurate enough to cause a person's health to be in jeopardy.
By the way, someone complained about inaccuracy of these monitors but my doctor had me bring my monitor to the office my last two visits and checked to see if it was any different from a professional using the arm cuff monitor -- the difference was negligible. All cardiologists want you to bring your monitor to the office visits so I am sure they don't recommend inaccurate monitors -- I have seen the signs in different doctors' offices saying to always bring your monitor and readings with you.
I recently bought another one of these for a friend and it so convenient for them. You don't have to experiment with where to put a cuff on the arm -- this one goes right on the wrist and the *Advanced Positioning Sensor lets you know when it is placed in the correct position near your heart -- it beep-beep-beeps and then starts closing down on your wrist to check your blood pressure. It won't do it unless it is in the right spot.
By the way, I am still using the first batteries that it either came with or I put in and it has been over 2 1/2 years. Amazing!

 To take an accurate reading, first place the cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb facing upwards. |
 Next, position the unit, leaving approximately 0.5-inches of space between the edge of the cuff and your palm. |
 When your wrist reaches the proper position in line with your heart, the monitor beeps and automatically starts. |
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor. First of all, avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Stress raises blood pressure, so avoid taking measurements during stressful times. Also, measurements should be taken in a quiet place. You should be in a relaxed, seated position with your feet flat on the floor. Before you take your measurement, rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes. Place the cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb facing upwards. Position the unit leaving approximately 0.5-inches of space between the edge of the cuff and your palm. Pull the cuff upward while holding the edge of the wrist cuff and wrap snugly. Make sure to lightly press the Velcro closure with your fingers so that it is fastened tightly.
Using your elbow as an axis point, slowly raise your left hand at an angle towards your right shoulder. Stop your movement when the heart mark is aligned with the arrow symbol. When your wrist reaches the proper position, the monitor beeps and automatically starts inflation and measurement. Hold your wrist at this position. Do not make any movements until the measurement results are displayed. Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.
What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders because their blood pressure is so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation, every time, for maximum comfort.
The Importance of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals all recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons. Home monitoring provides your healthcare professionals with better information to understand and manage your high blood pressure. Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:
- White-Coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in your doctor's office but lower at home
- Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
- Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the morning
