Choose a category and review the list of FDA-verified and supported medical devices. Each device has a link to the online store, where you can find detailed technical and vendor information. If you don't have a smart medical device, you can purchase one from the website or explore other preferred shopping options. Additionally, you may visit a pharmacy close to your home.
- Reading Vendor Instructions: Once you receive the device, carefully read all vendor instructions to learn how to pair it with smartphone and how to perform a valid measurement. You may also choose to install the vendor's native mobile app for additional guidance directly from the medical device producer.

These instructions summarize the essential steps provided by the vendor for device pairing. If you encounter any issues during the pairing process, refer to the vendor's manual or reach out to us for further assistance.

Alternatively, you can use your FDA-approved device without Bluetooth connectivity and manually enter the displayed data into the telemon app.
