USING QARDIOARM FOR THE
FIRST TIME
1. Download the free Qardio App: On your mobile phone or
tablet go to
www.getqardio.com
and when prompted,
download the App. Alternatively, go on the iTunes App
Store or Google Play.
2. Open the Qardio App on your phone or tablet.
If requested, you should enable Bluetooth on your device.
You can enable Bluetooth under the Settings menu on
your smartphone or tablet.
3. Create a new user login, or login with your existing user
name and password. Follow the on-screen instructions to
register and set up your personal account.
4. Fit the QardioArm on the upper arm.
5. With the Qardio App open, touch your device to the
QardioArm to perform the pairing of your QardioArm with
your phone or tablet. When prompted, accept the
pairing request.
6. On the Qardio App, press the green START button to
initiate the blood pressure measurement. Blood pressure
can be affected by the position of the cuff and your
physiological condition. It is very important that the cuff
is correctly placed. Please read the “Detailed Instructions
On Correct Cuff Placement” and the “Checklist For
Measuring Your Blood Pressure Correctly and Accurately”
section on the User Manual with particular care.
The blood pressure measurement can be stopped at any
time by pressing the Cancel button on the Qardio App.
HOW TO TURN ON/OFF THE
QARDIOARM
The QardioArm has a small magnet inside the cuff.
The device turns itself on when you unwrap the cuff and
it turns off when you wrap the cuff back up. When left
unwrapped, QardioArm will turn itself off after a few minutes
automatically to preserve battery life. To check if your device
is switching on, look for the short blink of a green light on the
side of the device when opening the cuff. Always store the
QardioArm with the cuff wrapped around the device.
