1 Introduction
CS System 3 is a wrist-worn medical device, similar to a watch, that measures
heart rate, pulse rate and detects atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) by reading the user’s
PPG and ECG values.
CS System 3 comprises a watch (CS Watch 3), a charging cradle, a mobile
application (CS3 Mobile app), and a cloud application (CS3 Cloud app).
1.1 Proper Use of CS System 3
This manual provides the information necessary to operate and use the CS
System 3. Please read the manual to understand CS System 3 and its mobile
application setup process before using the device.
1.2 CS System 3 Overview
CS System 3 is a single-user wearable monitoring device that provides
continuous monitoring of the user’s pulse rate from its PPG (Optical) sensor.
When prompted by an indication generated by the PPG sensor, or if feeling an
A-Fib episode, the user can initiate an instantaneous real-time ECG
measurement.
The real-time ECG measurements are saved in the paired smartphone and
are automatically uploaded to the CS3 Cloud app.
The user can also initiate an ECG monitoring session which can be saved as
a report and shared with medical personnel or anyone else.
1.3 CS System 3 Technology
Combining off-the-shelf ECG electrodes and unique PPG sensors with
proprietary algorithms, the device can detect the presence of A-Fib and notify
the user. In addition to A-Fib detection, CS System 3 continuously monitors
the user’s pulse rate.
The CardiacSense unique PPG sensor compensates for the interference
caused by hand, palm, and finger movement, which in most cases is the
primary source of false notifications.
For more details on A-Fib, ECG, and PPG, see the Appendices in Chapter 13.

8
2 Intended Use
2.1 Indications for Use
CS System 3 is intended to measure beat-by-beat heart rate and pulse rate
and detect the presence of atrial fibrillation lasting at least 5 minutes by using
PPG and/or ECG signals.
2.2 Intended Users
CS System 3 is intended to be used by anyone who seeks to monitor their
vital signs in medical facilities, ambulatory conditions, or at home.
2.3 Contraindications
•The device has not been tested, and it is not intended for use by children
under the age of 18.
•The device has not been tested, and it is not intended for use by pregnant
and breastfeeding women, people with pacemakers, or ICD.
•The device should not be used by people with blood flow deficiency-
related conditions.
•The device should not be worn over tattooed or injured skin.
•CS System 3 is not to be used in critical care situations.
2.4 Adverse Events
The device has been tested and found to be biocompatible. There are no
known adverse events related to the use of CS System 3; however, there are
possible adverse events related to monitoring systems that involve sensor
application on the skin. These include the following:
•Edema
•Erythema
•Irritation
•Sensitization

3 Safety
3.1 Data Privacy
Accessing your account data requires logging into the application using your
account password (created while setting up an account).
To protect your privacy, reports created through the mobile app are stored
only on your smartphone and are password-protected. CardiacSense
recommends locking your smartphone’s display to avoid unauthorized access.
CS System 3 comes with a default report password that can be viewed and
changed in the CardiacSense Mobile app. CardiacSense recommends
changing the report password from time to time.
When sharing a report with other persons (such as your physician), you need
to send them the report password to access the data. CardiacSense
recommends sending the password and the data using different applications
(for example, sending the data by WhatsApp and the password by SMS).
Your personal and measurement data is treated in a HIPAA and GDPR-
compliant manner.

3.2 Warnings and Cautions
3.2.1 Warnings
DO NOT USE CS System 3 BEFORE READING AND
UNDERSTANDING THIS MANUAL.
Using the CS System 3 for unintended purposes may result in
incorrect results and clinical misinterpretations
DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this
device. Take medication as prescribed by your physician.
Low skin temperature, restricted blood flow, or exesive movement
may result in lack of measurements. In such cases, remove the watch
from your wrist, warm your hands and place it back on.
Use only the supplied cradle with an approved power supply to charge
the CS Watch 3.
To avoid the potential for electrical shock, the power supply must be
disconnected from the power mains while cleaning.
To avoid harm to the CS Watch 3, repair and maintenance should be
performed by authorized personnel only.
To avoid erroneous readings and to save battery life, turn it off when
not wearing the watch.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those
specified or provided by the manufacturer of this device could increase
electromagnetic emissions or decrease the electromagnetic immunity
of this device and result in improper operation.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than
30 cm (12 inches) to any part of this device, including cables specified
by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of
this equipment could occur.

11
3.2.2 Cautions
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by CardiacSense Ltd.
can affect the safety and effectiveness of the system and void the
system’s warranty.
Do not operate with a damaged screen, cord, or plug. If damaged, have
the cord or plug replaced immediately by a qualified service technician.
If you notice any skin rash or any irritation is developing around the
watch strap, remove the watch immediately from your wrist and inform
your physician and/or medical staff.
The device is intended to be used by a single user. If transferred to a
different user, disinfect all materials that come in contact with the skin.
Before pairing the watch with the smartphone, ensure the date and time
on your smartphone are correct.
At the end of its useful life, the watch with its battery must be disposed
of in accordance with local law and the local code concerning electrical
and electronic equipment. Do not discard in a standard trash bin.
Any adverse incident that has occurred in relation to the device should
be reported to CardiacSense Ltd.
