1.3 Warnings
PARSYS Telemedicine draws the attention of the user on the following points regarding:
The device must not be used simultaneously with an electric surgery tool.
The device is not intended for cardiac direct use (reserved to CF class devices).
The ECG capture must not be performed when the device is charging on its charging base.
When the ECG is capturing, electrodes unplugged on the patient must not come into contact with
the ground or other exposed metal parts.
When the ECG is capturing, the device’s differentiator box must be in contact with the patient.
In case of a simultaneous use of the device and another, it should take care that the sum of the
patient leakage currents to the ground doesn’t exceed safety limits.
In case of a simultaneous use of the device with a defibrillator, do not place the defibrillator’s
electrodes into contact with the device’s electrodes.

2 Equipment description
2.1 Overview
Telecardia represents a major advance in remote cardiac monitoring and portable medical equipment. It
enables health professionals to rapidly capture and send a patient's ECG under any circumstances, without
the constraints of a conventional device.
The trace captured is a digital, simultaneous 12-lead 12-tracing ECG, in keeping with standard
electrocardiographs usually used. It can be sent automatically to a care watch centre or be viewed on a PC
next to the patient.
Telecardia has CE marking (CE0459). This is an ECG device intended for temporary use, class IIa.
2.2 Electrodes position
Telecardia is an electrocardiograph:
simultaneous 12-lead 12-channel,
with fixed thoracic electrodes,
with dry electrodes,
no consumables.
2.2.1 Precordial leads
1. Precordial leads
The shape of the unit enables capture of the 6 precordial leads collected thanks to the 2 articulated arms.
These thoracic electrodes are dry and fixed, from V1 to V6.
The Neutral, usually captured on the right leg, is captured in the thorax via the fixed electrode on the housing
(see figure 1.).

2.4 Charging base
Telecardia is equipped with a separate power supply provided by a rechargeable Lithium/Polymer battery,
allowing approximately 50 traces per charge. This battery is charged using the charging base, via 2 metal
contacts integrated in the back of the machine unit.
The charging base charges the machine completely in approximately 2.5 hours using a 220V/50Hz source,
via the mains adapter supplied.
ALWAYS USE THE MAINS ADAPTER SUPPLIED TO POWER THE BASE; OTHERWISE,
IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY THE MACHINE WARRANTY IS LIABLE TO OCCUR.
To charge Telecardia:
Connect your charging base to 220V power supply
Put Telecardia upon its charging base:
CHECK LIGHT INDICATORS ON THE CHARGING BASE’S SIDE TO CONFIRM THE GOOD CONTACT
OF THE DEVICE WITH CHARGING CONTACTS.
Light indicators located on the side of the base indicate the machine charging status, and whether the machine
is in contact with the support.
The ON/OFF indicator flashes BLUE to
indicate that the base power is on.
The CHARGING INDICATOR does not
light up when Telecardia is not correctly
inserted in its slot, without contact with
the charging contacts, or missing from
the slot.
The CHARGING INDICATOR remains
RED as long as Telecardia is charging.
The CHARGING INDICATOR is GREEN
when Telecardia is charged.
Not charging Telecardia for more than 1 year means losing the instrument's internal real-
time clock: we recommend to regularly charge Telecardia battery.

2.5 ECG reading
Viewing and/or transmission of the trace on a PC
Following capture, the data is sent to the PC automatically via the Bluetooth radio link which has a free field
range of approximately 100 meters. This requires the presence of a Bluetooth USB adapter, supplied in the
kit, connected to the PC used to operate Telecardia.
On the operating PC, the Telecardialys software (See the User Manual Telecardialys Software - 37-063 V1.0)
is used to:
dialogue with the equipment via Bluetooth,
display the captured ECGs,
print the ECGs in several report modes,
send the captured ECGs by e-mail,
archive and view the captured ECGs.
