PiiX Application
PiiX
First device:
1. Trim (rather than shave) hair in intended location.
2. Use prep wipe provided with PiiX to clean the skin where the device is intended to be applied. Allow the skin to dry.
3. Remove the PiiX from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch and apply immediately.
4. Remove the covers from the underside of the PiiX.
5. Handle the PiiX on the edges until the PiiX is placed on the skin.
6. Place the PiiX in a diagonal position only, oriented with Corventis at the top. Noting the picture below, place the device in the chest
region, to the left of the sternum and starting at the clavicle (or collarbone) referred to as the ‘left quadrant’. Avoid moles and pimples.
FRONT
Note: Apply the PiiX in the position as directed above. The reviewers of the ECG waveform data will not be aware if the user
applies PiiX in a location / orientation other than diagonal position in upper left quadrant area of chest.
7. The PiiX must be in direct contact with the skin. Once applied, press the edges firmly against the skin.
8. It is recommended that the PiiX be placed at least ½ inch away from any tight-fitting undergarment to prevent rubbing or chafing.
9. If you experience cardiac symptoms, position the Patient Trigger Magnet just on the surface of the PiiX and move it along the entire
length of the PiiX. This will initiate storage of an ECG for subsequent transmission.
Look for these indicators to appear on the PiiX display:
ECG storage and transmission:
Position the Patient Trigger Magnet just on the surface of the PiiX and move it along the entire length of the PiiX. An ECG will be
stored and transmitted and subsequently displayed at the secure Corventis website where your physician can review it.
PiiX Removal
1. Peel back the edge of the PiiX. Slowly and gently push the skin away from the PiiX as it is removed. Rapid removal can cause skin irritation.
2. If the PiiX does not peel easily, soak the device with water to assist in softening the adhesive.
3. If skin irritation persists, leave the area exposed or under light clothing. Consult your healthcare provider for any topical treatment options.
Light behind the filled circle symbol indicates the
PiiX is successfully activated. This light will appear
when skin contact is made and may blink.
Lights behind the circle with crossed line symbol
indicate it is necessary to remove your PiiX and
replace it with a new PiiX (unless your prescription
has ended
)
