4 Information for Health Care Professionals
4.1 ECG recording
When the patient grabs the device handles with both hands (one hand per handle), the device acti-
vates automatically, emits 1 short beep and starts ECG recording. The Power LED is continuously
ON during ECG recording and the Progress LEDs indicate the progress of the recording. The
rightmost Progress LED will flash at the detection of a heartbeat.
When ECG recording is successful, the device emits 2 short beeps. The AF Detected LED is
continuouslyON if AF was detected during ECGrecording. The No AF Detected LED is continuously
ON if AF was not detected during ECG recording.
The device deactivates when the patient releases the device handles and at least 5 seconds have
passed since the end of ECG recording.
Notes
1. ECG recording is not possible if the device is connected to a computer.
2. The device will only start an ECG recording if the device is in the deactivated state when the
patient grabs the device handles.
3. Recorded ECGs and detection results can be retrieved from the device using the appropriate
MyDiagnostick software.
4. The rightmost Progress LED will only flash when a heartbeat is detected if the device is confi-
gured to do so (this is the default).
5. The AF Detected LED will only be switched ON if the device is configured to do so (this is the
default). If this function is disabled, the No AF Detected LED will always be switched ON at the
end of a successful ECG recording. The correct detection result will however still be stored with
the recorded ECG.
4.2 ECG recording errors
The device monitors the signal quality during ECG recording. If an error occurs, the device emits 1
long beep and the Power LED starts blinking.
4.3 ECG storage
The device has a storage capacity of 140 ECG recordings. When the ECG storage is full, the device
will overwrite previous recordings in the following order:
1. recordings during which an error has occurred
2. recordings with no AF detection
3. recordings with AF detection
In each category the device will overwrite the oldest recording first.
4.4 Charging the device batteries
The device batteries can be charged by connecting the device to a USB power source (for example
a powered USB port of a computer).
The Power LED will blink during battery charging. Charging is complete when the Power LED is
continuously ON.
4.5 Preparing the device for first use
Before making thefirstrecording with the device, the user shouldusethe device with the appropriate
MyDiagnostick software to ensure that the device clock is set correctly.
