Setup of Device

1. Ensure the dongle is plugged in.

2. Open CardioScan.

3. Attach the unit to the Grey/Cream USB cable without the battery inserted.

4. Enrol the patient in the software.

5. Disconnect the unit from the Grey/Cream USB cable.

6. Attach electrodes to the patient (refer to the hook-up diagram in the software), then connect the patient cable to the electrodes.

7. Attach the unit to the patient cable. Once the connection is secure, insert the battery into the unit.
   ⚠️ Do not insert the battery before attaching the cable. This prevents noise at the start of the ECG.

8. After approximately 30 seconds, the unit will beep three times to indicate the start of the recording.

9. To confirm a good trace:
   – Plug the black hook-up cable into the small hole on the rear of the unit.
   – Press F5 to view the traces.
   – Press Esc to exit the trace view.

10. The patient is now ready to leave. The unit can be worn in a belt pouch or around the neck.

While Unit is Out with the Patient

1. When the event button is pressed, you will see it marked as a ‘Symptom’ within the ECG strips section of the report.

2. The device is not waterproof and must be kept away from all liquids and heated blankets. A strip wash (using a washcloth or sponge to clean the body without full immersion in water) is recommended while wearing the device. If the patient needs to remove the device, and you are confident in them safely disconnecting and reconnecting it, you may provide instructions on how to do so. In such cases, the patient should also record the date, time, and duration of the disconnection to help accurately interpret the results.

3. If the device starts to beep while the patient is wearing it, it usually indicates a loose or disconnected cable.

⚠️ Warning: Do not replace the battery whilst the device is in use.
Doing so will erase all recorded data.
