Quick-Start Guide:

Hardware & Equipment

Every HealthMeter™ kit comes with several pieces of hardware used in the measurement of the medical biomarkers. The equipment included is as follows: 

Apple 9.7in iPad (x1)

Over-ear Headphones (x1)

iPad Stand (x1)

Apple iPad USB Charger (x1)

Infrared Thermometer (x1)

 

Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter (x1)

Bluetooth Spirometer (x1)

USB 2.0 Charger (x1)

Bluetooth Blood Pressure Cuff (x1)

Bluetooth BMI Scale (x1)

Each hardware device has been fully charged prior to shipment, however occasionally these may lose charge during transit. To ensure you are starting with full charge, plug in each device for a minimum of 3 hours prior to use. The Apple iPad has a specific firewire cable that works exclusively with that device. The pulse oximeter and spirometer use USB 2.0. One USB 2.0 cord and charging station is included with your kit. If you have a USB 2.0 charger already, this may be used as well. 

Prior to beginning a test, ensure that all of the equipment is charged and within arm's reach of the iPad. These will be needed in order to complete the HealthMeter™ test. The spirometer, pulse oximeter, blood pressure cuff, and BMI scale utilize wireless Bluetooth technology and do not need to be plugged into the iPad. These will automatically connect when powered on during the test. Ensure that you do not turn off Bluetooth capabilities on the iPad. The earphones should be plugged directly into the iPad.
