Explore this SmartHeart® guide to set up and use your device. This explanation will help you with the initial setup and subsequent uses.
After receiving your SmartHeart® ECG, follow these steps to set up your device:
After purchasing, you’ll receive a link to get started. Create a new password when prompted.
Insert two AAA lithium batteries. Press and hold the button until the heart icon is blue and starts flashing.
Using the App Store or Google Play Store, download the SmartHeart Pro mobile application onto your smartphone or tablet.
Open the SmartHeart Pro mobile application, log in to your account, and enter the PIN code (using serial number found on the back of your device). You’ll be prompted to pair your device.
Correctly placing SmartHeart on the body can be done in a few simple steps.
Using tap water, dampen the areas of the body that come in contact with the electrodes. Ensure this step is done on the inner parts of the left and right arm, left waist area, and chest (under the center housing and along the belt where the built-in electrodes are located).
Drawing an imaginary line between the middle of the left underarm and the left hipbone indicates the chest size. Enter the belt size into SmartHeart Pro mobile application.
Place SmartHeart against the center of the chest. On men, the device should be ½ an inch below each nipple. Women should place the SmartHeart under the breasts, as high up as possible. Tighten the belt, positioning the electrodes on moistened areas.
Position the square electrode at the belt line against the patient’s bare skin, halfway between your navel and left hip where water was applied. Position the triangular electrode in the left armpit and the round electrode in the right armpit. Lower each arm to hold the electrodes in place.
Once the SmartHeart® has been correctly placed on the body, you are ready to perform an ECG.
Launch the app, click “Perform ECG,” and follow the in-app instructions.
Follow instructions in the app to ensure all electrode positioning is correct. You or your patient may press down on the center housing for additional pressure. When electrode contact is confirmed, tap the “START ECG”.
To perform the ECGs, have the patient sit comfortably, leaning slightly back with both hands between the thighs.
Once the exam is complete, you will have the option to send the ECG for full review by a board-certified cardiologist. A fully interpreted report will be returned within 30 minutes. You can also review the report in the SmartHeart® Clinical Portal.
Easily review patient ECG results in the SmartHeart portal.
For clinicians who have selected to receive preliminary reviews provided by SHL Telemedicine center: results will appear in the portal and app within a few minutes. Select from the standard list of diagnoses and enter desired interpretation.
For optional, full ECG interpretation by a board-certified cardiologist: select “Order Cardiologist Review” from the SmartHeart Pro app. Results will be delivered in less than 30 minutes.
