How should I clean the Bioheart?
Bioheart’s fabric strap is machine washable. To clean the Bioheart device itself, gently clean with a disinfectant wipe.
Why should I be monitoring my heart’s electrical activity? And why does continuous monitoring matter?
Monitoring your heart’s electrical activity can help you recognize abnormalities in your heart rhythm. Most smartwatches use optical sensors to capture pulse or heart rate, but do not capture electrical activity – those that do, can only do so for a short amount of time. Since many heart problems are intermittent, detecting them requires recording your heart’s activity for more than 30 seconds at a time. Bioheart accurately and continuously records your heart’s electrical activity, making it more precise, and more effective than a smartwatch for heart monitoring.
What type of batteries do the Biokit devices take?
The heart rate/SpO2 monitor and the thermometer both take 2 AAA batteries. The blood pressure cuff is rechargeable and must only be charged using the charging cable that came with your Biokit.
What does it mean when the Biokit device screens display “ERR”?
This means that the batteries need to be replaced.
Where can I find the device IDs needed to connect the Biokit devices to the Biocare app?
The device IDs are located on the back of each device, as well as on the back label of the white Biokit box.
