Pairing EmbraceMini with the PKG Monitor App

This article explains how to set up and pair EmbraceMini for the first time using the PKG Monitor App.

Pairing connects the EmbraceMini to the dedicated smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing the device to securely transmit patient data to the PKG Monitor App. This connection is necessary to upload the collected data and support the proper functioning of the overall system..

Follow the steps below to complete the compatibility check, wake up the device, and pair it via Bluetooth.

Please note that pairing must be done only via the PKG Monitor App and not through the phone’s Bluetooth settings.

Otherwise, please make sure your smartphone meets all the necessary requirements and try again.

For compatibility, your iPhone must run iOS 18 or higher, or your Android device must run version 13, or 14 or higher and support Bluetooth® 5.0 or higher
