6 • ENGLISH
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.

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.

INTERPRETING YOUR RESULTS
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
An irregular heartbeat is dened as a heartbeat rhythm that is more
than 25% slower or 25% faster than the average measurement
detected while the monitor is conducting the measurement. When
this device detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the
reading, the IHB symbol will appear on the display screen.
This monitor will operate if the icon appears, but the results may be
compromised, especially if this symbol appears often. Please consult
with your physician or trained healthcare professional for further
information regarding an irregular heartbeat and if this symbol
appears frequently.
