Step up to a happier, healthier you. QardioBase is the wireless smart scale and
body analyzer that combines intelligent features, ease of use, and sleek design to
make weight and health management an integral part of your everyday life.
QardioBase gives you a broader view of your fitness and wellness. When used with
the companion Qardio App it allows you to measure your body mass index (BMI), %
muscle mass, % body fat, % water and % bone composition in addition to your
weight. Your data is then automatically uploaded to your Qardio account.
Please read through these instructions carefully so you understand all functions and
safety information. We want you to be happy with your QardioBase. If you have any
questions, problems or suggestions, please contact Qardio’s Customer Service at
support.getqardio.com, or visit our website www.getqardio.com for more

INTENDED USE
QardioBase is a body analyzer that measures body
weight and uses BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis)
technology to estimate the body fat percentage and
body composition of an individual. It is intended for
home use only. QardioBase should not be used to
diagnose or treat any medical condition.

the QardioBase wireless smart scale and keep it
handy for future reference.
QardioBase is safe for use by individuals that are 10
years old or older. People fitted with an implantable
medical device must only use QardioBase in “Weight

implanted electronic medical devices, such as

Modes” for important information on “Weight Only
Mode.” Please refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer of your implanted medical device for
