Place the electrodes on the patient’s body and
connect the ECG cables of the PocketECG
transmitter as shown.
cable clips colors complying with
the EU requirements – left,
the US requirements – right
Use only high
-quality electrodes with fast
conducting gel.
Always obey instructions for use
provided by the
electrode’s manufacturer. It is
recommend
ed to use electrodes designed for
Holter monitoring
.
Secure each lead wire. Cables of
the PocketECG
transmitter
should be attached to the electrodes
a way that reduces movements causing signal
artifact
.
WARNING: Discard electrodes after each
use.
WARNING: The snaps of the ECG lead
wires are made of metal conducting the
current and are intended to be
connected with electrodes placed on a
patient’s body. Never connect the lead
wire snaps with any source of electric
power such as power outlets,
power supplies, and batteries.
CAUTION: Always make sure that the
electrodes are placed correctly.
CAUTION: Verify the use-by dates on
applied electrodes to make sure they
have not expired.
CAUTION: ECG electrodes can cause skin
irritation. Examine the skin for signs of
irritation or inflammation and avoid
placing of the electrode in those areas.
4. Reporting symptoms in a patient view
• Press the ‘Report Symptoms’ button.
• Select observed symptom from the list.
• Indicate when symptoms occurred and then
confirm your choice.
• If you select wrong symptom, you can always
modify it. Otherwise, the selected symptom is
confirmed automatically after 5 seconds.

5. Stopping the device
• To switch the transmitter off ensure that the
recording session is finished. Then you can
remove the battery from its compartment.
WARNING: Never ship the PocketECG
transmitter/charger with the main
battery inserted into its compartment.
6. Replacing the main battery
• The discharged battery should be charged
immediately if the diagnostic session is intended
to be performed for a period longer than
24 hours.
• Slide the battery lock to release the battery.
• Remove the battery.
• Place fully charged battery into compartment
and push it until the lock clicks.
• The PocketECG transmitter is equipped with
backup battery that is intended to supply the
device when the main battery is being replaced.

ELECTROMAGNETIC & OTHER
INTERFERENCES
It is recommended to keep the PocketECG
transmitter as far as possible from all equipment
combining RF transmitters. Try to reorient or/and
relocate PocketECG transmitter when the ECG
signal displayed on the screen of is partially masked
by disturbing signal despite the ECG electrodes are
properly placed on the patient skin.
The PocketECG IV device and any of its components
should not be used for patient monitoring during
any diagnostic tests or medical treatment
performed using:
• computed tomography (CT) systems,
• positron emission technology (PET),
• diathermy, lithotripsy, electrocautery systems.
If the patient is going to be examined/treated using
any of the listed diagnostic systems while being
monitored with the PocketECG IV device, it is
recommended to:
• contact your medical service provider or medical
professional supervising your recording session
to inform that you are going to remove the
PocketECG transmitter for some time due to the
medical examination/treatment;
• disconnect the ECG lead wires of the PocketECG
transmitter from the electrodes placed on your
body;
• leave the PocketECG transmitter in a place where
it will not be exposed to any disturbing radiation
generated by the medical system that is going to
be used. Do not stop the recording session;
• when the examination/treatment is finished,
replace the electrodes if necessary and connect
the lead wires of the PocketECG transmitter to
the electrodes.
EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER (ERP)

(MHz)
Mode ERP (dBm)
In order to resolve and prevent interference issues,
above table presents the operating frequencies of
the PocketECG CRS transmitter and the associated
Effective Radiated Power (ERP).
WARNING: The PocketECG transmitter is
MR unsafe and should not be used in any
magnetic resonance environment.
WARNING: Use of accessories other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer, with the exception of the
accessories sold by the manufacturer as
replacement parts for internal
components, may result in increased
emission or decreased immunity of the
device.
WARNING: Sources of strong
electromagnetic radiation such as radio
transmitters, wireless personal
transmitters working in the 80-2500 MHz
frequency band may disturb the ECG
signal and the automated ECG signal
analysis.
