Handling the recorder
The recording period selected should be as normal as possible (not a holiday, no
out-of-the-ordinary events).
Protect the recorder against humidity and spray water. Do not immerse the recorder
in liquids. Do not wear the recorder in the shower, bath, sauna or similar wet envi-
ronments. Protect the recorder against extreme cold, heat, excessive dust develop-
ment and impact or being dropped.
The patient is not allowed to remove the rechargeable battery, or modify the device
in any way.
During the recording no radiological examinations must be performed. The quality
of the recording may be influenced by other electrical devices (e.g. mobile phones).
Do not leave small children unattended with the device. Risk of strangulation with
provided cables and belts, risk of suffocation from small parts that could be swal-
lowed.
The LED display flashes green during recording (approximately once every 2 sec-
onds). If this is not the case, contact the medical practice. To avoid incorrect record-
ings the LED display should be checked regularly.
Notes on applying the electrodes
In the case of known allergies, e.g. against substances in the adhesive electrodes,
the further procedure must be agreed with the physician before the commencement
of recording.
In the case of multi-day recordings, the electrodes and the hygiene case must be
replaced daily. To achieve correct measuring results, the electrodes must be applied
according to the specified electrode positions.
If electrodes become detached during the recording, they must be attached again.
Otherwise the ECG recording will not be possible. Patients should contact their
medical practice for assistance with reattaching the electrodes.
The electrodes must not be applied to moist skin. The application positions for the
electrodes must be dry and free of grease. The application positions must be free of
personal care products.
If patients experience physical problems (e.g. severe skin irritations) or any other
form of discomfort during the recording, the recorder can be taken off and they
should contact their physician.
