NOTE: Incorrect Biosensor Array application may impair the quality of ECG recording.
6.6 Vcentral
Once an event has been recorded, the data is sent to a central server for display on Vcentral.
To modify this default setting the Vpatch Website must be accessed to create a custom setup.
The default setting of a Vpatch System records up to 20 seconds of pre-and 30 seconds of
post arrhythmia detection events (as listed in Section 2.0) or as a result of the person
pressing the Event Button on the Vpod.
The Vpatch website (V Central) allows the healthcare professional to:
 Add new patients to the server database
 Assign a Vpatch monitor to the patient
 Specify the period of time that the patient will be monitored
 Change the monitoring settings
 View ECG data recorded by the Vpatch System
NOTE: Please contact your distributor to obtain login details for the Vpatch website.
Your distributor will also ensure that the correct devices are added to your facility. This
is necessary for assigning a device to a patient in support of successful monitoring.
NOTE TO DISTRIBUTORS: When adding new devices to a customer’s inventory, you
must enter the Vpod serial number correctly, to enable the clinician or HCP to assign
the device to a patient.
6.7 Device Operation
6.7.1 Switching the Vpod on and off
The Vpod device is switched on when the batteries are inserted and the case is closed using
the release clips. Once the case is opened using the release clips, the Vpod is switched off.
To insert the Vpod batteries:
1. Open the Vpod device using the release clips (labelled ‘B’ in Figure 14 below).
Note:
The Left Release Clip can be opened by using the fingers only while the Right
Release Clip needs a tool to be unlocked (See Figure 3 and 4 below).
2. Place both coin cell batteries into the case, positive side upwards (i.e. the smooth
side with writing, ‘
+’ symbol will be etched on this side).
3. Close the Vpod case by securing the release clips.
4. The Vpod will beep once* to indicate ‘Power On’.
Ensure older batteries are not used with new batteries in the device.
Only new batteries should be inserted into the device when replacing used batteries.
For information on battery disposal please refer to Section 10.0, Page 17.
* If the Vpod memory is full, two beeps will be heard approximately 30 seconds after the
‘Power On’ beep during Vpod start-up, otherwise only the ‘Power On’ beep will be heard.
If three beeps are repeatedly heard immediately after switching on, please see the
Section 14.0 Troubleshooting Guide.
The Vpatch System devices MUST be re-assigned and re-configured every time
they are used by a new patient, or each time there is a new monitoring period.
Failure to reconfigure a monitor may result in ECG data not reaching the Vpatch
website.
