Heart Rate Tracking and Accuracy

Cardi/o® cardiac monitor are intended to to provide you with information about your heart rate and breath rate to encourage a health and wellness lifestyle. Cardi/o®’s relies on radar technology to track the cardiac signal from a person in range of the sensor. The data and information detected by the monitor is intended to be a close estimation of your cardiac activity and the metrics tracked, but may not be precisely accurate. Cardi/o® is not medical devices, and the data provided is not intended for medical purposes and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your doctor if you have any questions.

Accuracy of Cardi/o® Heart Rate Monitor

The radar-based heart rate (HR) monitor can provide an accurate estimation of the user’s heart rate at any given point in time. The HR monitor is designed to attempt to monitor a user’s heart rate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without the user wearing a wearable. The frequency at which heart rate is measured varies, and will depend on the level of activity of the user. Since radar cannot distinguish movement activity from heart rate, more accurate readings are obtained when there is less of minimal motion. The intent is to provide the user with a resting heart rate over a longer period of time or while sleeping.

While Cardi/o® is state of the art technology, there are inherent limitations with the radar technology that may cause some of the heart rate readings to be inaccurate under certain circumstances. These circumstances include the user’s physical characteristics, location of the user in the room, distance of the user from the monitor, other RF interferers and the intensity of the motion of the user. It is important to minimize movement at times for approximately one to two minutes for best accuracy. The HR monitor data is not intended to be used for medical purposes, nor is it intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition.

Heart rate accuracy during movement is very limited or does not function at all.

Accuracy of Cardi/o® Breath Rate

Breath rate can provide an estimation of the user’s respiratory rate at any given time. It tracks in a continuous manner while the user is moving normally in range of the monitor or asleep.

Every effort is made to ensure a high degree of accuracy, however, radar technology limitations that can cause inaccurate measurements. These circumstances include the user’s physical characteristics, location of the user in the room, distance of the user from the monitor, other RF interferers and the intensity of the motion of the user.

Excessive motion and the position of the user can impact the accuracy of the readings. It is important to minimize movement at times for approximately one to two minutes for best accuracy. The Breath Rate data is not intended to be used for medical purposes, nor is it intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition.

Cardi/o® may release device software from time to time to improve different aspects of the measurements.
