Patient instructions for the recording
Handling the devices
The day on which the recording is made should be planned as normally as possible
(no day off, no exceptional events).
The switched-on recorder, cuff and ECG transmitter must also be worn during the
night.
No x-rays must be taken on the day of recording. Other electrical appliances (e.g
mobile phones) may affect the quality of the recording.
Each measurement is announced with a beep (unless this function is deactivated
in custo diagnostic). Using default settings, the measurements are performed every
15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes during the night.
The devices must be protected against extreme cold, heat, moisture, dirt and
mechanical impact. No showers, no visits to the swimming pool and sauna.
The patient is not allowed to remove the batteries or rechargeable batteries or
modify the device in any way. The custo flash card mini must not be removed from
the recorder during recording.
If the ECG transmitter is detached from the electrode belt during recording, it must
be ensured that the ECG transmitter is aligned correctly when it is when reattached:
custo guard “R” – custo belt red snap fastener, custo guard “3”– custo belt green
snap fastener, custo guard “L” – custo belt yellow snap fastener
A custo belt electrode belt stretches after prolonged wear, due to moisture (sweat).
The custo belt should be re-tensioned after some time so that it rests firmly against
the upper body again and to ensure the ECG is of adequate quality.
CAUTION:
Do not leave small children unattended with the device.
Risk of strangulation with the supplied cables and belts.
Risk of suffocation from small parts that could be swallowed.
In the case of known allergies, e.g. against substances in the adhesive electrodes
or custo belt, the further procedure must be agreed with the physician before
the commencement of recording.
