INTRODUCTION & INDICATIONS fOR USE
It is recommended that you rst seek the advice and recommendation of your
physician or healthcare professional when using home diagnostic devices,
including blood pressure monitors.
Automatic digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method to
electronically measure your blood pressure. The monitor detects your blood’s
movement through the artery in your arm and converts the movements into a
digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making
the monitor ideal for home use.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to
measurements obtained by a trained healthcare professional using the cuff/
stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American
National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Thank you for purchasing a SmartHeart Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor.
With proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of
reliable readings.
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL

GETTING STARTED
Before Taking a Measurement
1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or healthcare
professional with access to your individual medical history. Regular use of a
home blood pressure monitor will allow you to track and record your readings
for discussion with your physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a relaxed position.
Rest for 15 minutes before taking your reading. If an error occurs or you desire
to take a second reading, allow 15 minutes between readings for your blood
vessels to return to normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical activity or any
other stressful activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may interfere with the
cuff placement.
5. Keep yourself and the monitor still during measuring; do not talk during the
reading.
6. It is recommended that you take your readings as the same time each day to
better monitor any indications in your results.
7. Record your daily measurement on the included chart or some other written
document to share with your physician.
