Prep the Skin

Using tap water, dampen the areas of the body that come in contact with the electrodes: right and left armpits, chest area and left waist area.​

Position Electrodes

Position the square electrode at the belt line against your bare skin, halfway between your navel and left hip where you applied water. Position the triangular electrode in the left armpit and the round electrode in the right armpit.​

Performing an ECG

Once SmartHeart has been correctly placed on the body, you can perform an ECG.

Launch the App

Launch the app, click “Perform ECG,” and follow the in-app instructions.

Check Placement of Electrodes

Ensure all electrodes are in contact with the body and the app shows all electrodes as green. If the app shows an electrode in red, then readjust until it appears green. Tap the “START ECG” button once all electrodes are properly placed.

Sit in a Comfortable Position

To perform the ECG, sit comfortably and lean back, resting both hands between the thighs. Be sure to sit still.

Share ECG Reports

Once the ECG has finished, follow the in-app instructions to view reports and easily share with other providers or upload to EMR.
