3. Applying the Arm Cuff

Ensure the cuff is placed directly on your bare upper arm, approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow joint. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm. The Cuff Placement Indicator icon on the monitor helps ensure proper positioning for accurate readings. The wide-range cuff fits arm sizes from 8.6” to 16.5” (22 – 42 cm).

Operating Instructions

Taking a Measurement

1. Sit comfortably with your arm resting on a flat surface, ensuring the cuff is at heart level.
2. Press the large power button (U) to start the measurement. The monitor will automatically inflate the cuff.
3. Remain still and quiet during the measurement. The Excessive Movement Indicator will notify you if your arm moved too much.
4. Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA), and Pulse (PUL) readings will be displayed.

Interpreting Your Results

The monitor provides visual cues to help you understand your readings:

• Hypertension Indicator: This feature assesses if your reading falls within the globally accepted World Health Organization standards, indicated by a color-coded bar on the display (green for normal, yellow for elevated, red for hypertension).
• Irregular Heartbeat Detection: An icon will appear on the display if an irregular heartbeat was detected during the measurement.

Memory Function

The SmartHeart monitor features a generous 2-person memory bank, storing up to 99 measurements for each user. This allows for easy recall and tracking of your results over time. Use the 'M' button to access memory readings and the user selection button (two person icon) to switch between users.

Maintenance

• Keep the monitor and cuff clean by wiping with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Ensure the air tube is not kinked or twisted during storage.
• Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate readings.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SmartHeart Blood Pressure Monitor, please try the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Display/Power: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are fresh.
• Inaccurate Readings: Verify proper cuff placement and size. Ensure you are relaxed and still during measurement. Avoid talking or moving.
• Cuff Not Inflating/Deflating: Check that the air tube is securely connected to both the cuff and the monitor. Ensure there are no kinks in the tube.
• Error Messages: Refer to the FAQ pamphlet included with your device for specific error code explanations.
