1. Before you Begin
On behalf of the entire Premier Heart team, thank you for purchasing our product. The MCG
system is a revolutionary and advanced diagnostic tool designed to help you achieve the most ac-
curate diagnosis of coronary ischemia possible using non-invasive methods. Please take a moment
to familiarize yourself with this manual and the associated Quick Guide prior to first using the
MCG device — In order to provide the best possible diagnostic accuracy the attending physician
and technicians must adhere to the guidelines provided in these documents.
This manual details the setup and configuration of the MCG device. It is not a clinical practices
guide, but rather a technical document designed to help you set up the MCG system in a way
that will maximize your efficiency testing patients and provide the best quality diagnostic results
possible.
For information on clinical practices and patient testing, please see the Quick Guide included with
your MCG unit.

1.1. IMPORTANT NOTICES AND WARNINGS
1.1. Important Notices and Warnings
While the MCG device you have received is very robust, it is a sensitive piece of electronic
equipment. The following precautions should be taken to ensure that your MCG unit is kept in
peak operating condition:
•Do not modify the MCG unit without authorization from Premier Heart Staff.
•Do not operate the MCG unit outside of the operating limits described in Appendix B of
this manual.
Failure to observe the operating limits of the MCG unit can result in damage, and may void your
warranty coverage.
•The MCG unit should be shut down at the end of each testing day and plugged in to charge
its internal battery.
In “24x7” environments the MCG unit should be allowed to fully charge at least once every
24 hours.
•The ECG cables should be connected or disconnected only when the MCG unit is powered
offand unplugged.
Connecting or disconnecting ECG cables with the unit on may damage the capture card.
•If the MCG unit is dropped or subjected to sever impact or vibration, especially while in
use, contact Premier Heart for service.
Severe impacts or vibration may affect the unit’s calibration.
•If the MCG unit is drenched or immersed in water or other liquids discontinue use immedi-
ately and contact Premier Heart for service.
If the MCG unit becomes wet during use power the unit offimmediately and disconnect the
patient.
•If the MCG unit is exposed to significant voltage anomalies (e.g. through a lightning strike)
discontinue use immediately and contact Premier Heart for service. Significant voltage
anomalies may affect the unit’s calibration.

1.1. IMPORTANT NOTICES AND WARNINGS
It is preferable for the MCG unit to be plugged into a UPS, power conditioner or TVSS
(surge suppressor) for charging to minimize risk of damage due to voltage anomalies.

1.2. ABOUT BATTERIES
1.2. About Batteries
Portable MCG Units are powered by rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries. These batteries are
high-performance devices with long lifespans – a typical battery will last several hundred charge
cycles before degrading to a point where battery life is no longer acceptable for normal use –
however like all rechargeable batteries they will eventually diminish in capacity and may require
replacement.
In order to ensure maximum battery life your battery must be routinely used (or “exercised”).
When used regularly in accordance with the operating instructions in this manual and the Quick
Guide the internal battery pack will provide several hours of routine testing operation and be
maintained in optimal condition. If you have a low volume of tests or do not routinely use the
MCG unit you should fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once per month.
If you will be storing your MCG unit for more than 30 days the battery should be drained to 50%
capacity prior to storage. Prolonged storage with the battery fully charged or fully discharged
may result in diminished capacity.
Battery Life and Temperature
If you use the MCG system at temperatures above the operational limits you may permanently
damage your battery and result in diminished capacity. Charging the battery outside the operating
limits presents an increased risk of damage due to additional heat generated by the charging
process. Storing the battery at temperatures outside the storage limits may also cause permanent
damage.
If you use your MCG field unit at low temperatures you may find that the battery capacity is
lower than normal. Unlike the damage caused by high temperatures, this condition is temporary
and your battery will operate normally once it has warmed up.
Note that using, charging or storing the battery at temperatures below the operational limits may

1.2. ABOUT BATTERIES
still result in permanent damage to the battery. For optimum battery life do not operate or store
the MCG unit outside of the specifications provided in this manual.
To ensure the best battery life your MCG unit should be operated and charged at temperatures
between 68- 72F(20-22
C).
Battery Disposal
The battery pack in portable MCG units uses Lithium-Ion technology. The battery pack should
not be disposed of with ordinary trash or medical waste – doing so may be hazardous. Please
contact Premier Heart for information on safe disposal of your battery pack.
Premier Heart provides two MCG system models designed to meet the requirements of different
sites.
The MCG units are designed for maximum versatility. All systems are capable of being carried
as a portable testing kit (with optional accessory bag).
All MCG Field Unit and Base Station systems include a built-in battery to enable use in remote
locations or where AC power is not readily available. The MCG batteries also provide protection
in the event of a power failure during testing – The system will continue running on battery power,
allowing you to complete any running tests with no loss of data.

1. Overview
The 3DMP are ruggedized systems designed for use in the most demanding environments such as
EMS and military use. The 3DMP is based around GETAC’s fully rugged military grade laptop
and meets the MIL-STD-810F requirements for dust, water, vibration and shock protection. The
battery modules supplied with the 3DMP are capable of up to 5 hours of sustained use and testing.
The 3DMP has been superseded by the CF19.
