Indications for Use:
The TruVue System is intended for use by patients who experience or are suspected of transient
events that may suggest cardiac arrhythmia
Patients who require monitoring of effect of drugs to control ventricular rate in various atrial arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation)
Patients with symptoms that may be due to cardiac arrhythmias. These may include but are not
limited to symptoms such as: a) dizziness or lightheadedness; b) syncope of unknown etiology
in which arrhythmias are suspected or need to be excluded; and c) dyspnea (shortness of
breath)
Patients recovering from cardiac surgery or interventional procedures who are indicated for outpatient arrhythmia monitoring
ECG data recorded by the device can be analyzed by other processing systems, such as the BMS
Century Holter system to provide Holter style reports
Contraindications
The TruVue System is contraindicated for those patients requiring attended, In-hospital monitoring for
life threatening arrhythmias.
Note: The TruVue system does not provide interpretative statements. Interpretation and clinical diagnosis is the responsibility of the physician.
PHYSICIAN’S OPERATION MANUAL
TruVue System Overview
System Overview
The TruVue system is a wireless ECG analysis and monitoring system used for the diagnosis of cardiac
arrhythmia in ambulatory patients. ECG data is acquired at the patient on a body worn sensor, stored
and then transmitted to a data center through a handheld device carried with the patient. No action is required by the patient to transmit ECG data. At the data center, all ECG is stored and then analyzed for
arrhythmia. Portions of the ECG containing arrhythmic events are transmitted to monitoring center for
human confirmation before being compiled into a report and transmitted to the physician. The system
also allows for real time 2-way communications of voice and data between the patient and the monitoring center or physician.
CAUTION: The TruVue system is not an emergency response device. The patient should call 911 and/or
their local emergency medical service if they feel they are having a medical emergency.
PHYSICIAN’S OPERATION MANUAL
TruVue System Overview
Patient Devices
The patient devices consist of a body worn Sensor, a Handheld device that provides communication and
the patient user interface, and a charger for the Handheld. A modem can optionally be supplied for those
patients who lack cellular coverage in their homes.
TruVue Sensor
Applied Sensor
TruVue Handheld
The sensor acquires and stores 2 channels of full disclosure ECG data covering the entire monitoring period (up to 30 days). While acquiring ECG data, the sensor also continuously burst transmits
the full disclosure data to the handheld over a radio link with a range up to approximately 30 feet.
The handheld continuously burst transmits the full disclosure ECG data over the cellular network
to the 24/7 attended BMS monitoring center, where the ECG is analyzed. Any detected arrhythmias are confirmed by our certified monitoring technicians before being reported to the physician.
If the patient is symptomatic, they can enter their symptoms on the handheld. These symptoms are
immediately transmitted to the monitoring center for review and correlation with the ECG data.
Text messages and voice calls can be placed to the patient handheld any time the device is in cellular coverage. Real time ECG can also be streamed from the patient device on request.
PHYSICIAN’S OPERATION MANUAL
TruVue System Overview
Data and Monitoring Center
Full disclosure ECG data transmitted from the handheld is stored in the BMS monitoring center, where
arrhythmia analysis algorithms analyze for:







Pause / Asystole
Tachycardia
Bradycardia
Atrial Fibrillation
Idioventricular Rhythms
Supraventricular tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia and runs

When one the above arrhythmias is detected, a certified monitoring technician confirms the arrhythmia
and prepares and annotates a sample to be included on a physician report. A report is sent immediately
to the physician if the arrhythmia meets the immediate report criteria specified for the patient, or sent on
a daily summary report per the physicians orders.
A daily summary report is prepared per the prescribing physicians preference that can include:
 24 hour HR Trend graph
 Atrial Fibrillation burden for 24 hours or covering the entire monitoring period
 Samples of any arrhythmias detected in the last 24 hours ,or normal ECG samples at the high and
low HR for the day if there were no arrhythmias
Reports can be faxed, mailed, and/or viewed and printed online. Prior to printing your patients report,
you may enter any comments or interpretations on the report.
The Truvue system allows you to view your patients monitoring record at any time, including all reports,
samples and full disclosure ECG data since the inception of the monitoring period.

TruVue Sensor Operation
Sensor Operation
ECG Acquisition and Storage
The Sensor acquires two channels of ECG through a three or four wire shielded cable connected to standard Holter monitoring electrodes. Standard leads II and III of the Einthoven triangle are sampled at
1000 samples per second (SPS) with +/- 40 mV of dynamic range with .05 to 150 Hz band pass. The data
is then filtered and down sampled to 250 (SPS) before being stored on the sensor. The sensor retains up
to 30 days of ECG data. ECG data is stored with the patient ID and an error detecting code.
ECG Transmission
The Sensor transmits the acquired ECG data to the handheld over an encrypted Bluetooth link with a
range of approximately 10 meters. The range of this link can vary depending in environmental factors. If
the sensor goes out of range of the handheld the patient will be alerted. The handheld and sensor are
paired together prior to providing the kit to the patient and will only communicate with each other. Neither the sensor or handheld will communicate with other devices (they are “non-discoverable” and “nonconnectable” per the Bluetooth specification). The ECG is protected from data corruption by an error detecting code that “travels” with ECG data throughout the TruVue system, ensuring that no corruption of
the data occurs during transmission to and storage at the monitoring center.
The Sensor can be placed in “airplane mode” through the handheld user interface. This turns off all radios so the patient can continue to collect ECG data (but not transmit it to the handheld) in areas where
wireless devices are not allowed. The stored ECG is transmitted to the monitoring center when the radios
are turned back on. If the radios are turned off when the handheld is powered up the patient is prompted
to turn them on again.
User Interface
The Sensor will alert the patient with a speaker tone (or vibration if selected by the patient) and a flashing
led when the battery is low, if a lead falls off, or if the sensor is out of range of the handheld. The patient
can silence an alert temporarily by using the large pushbutton on the sensor if they choose.
Algorithm
When communications between the Handheld and the BMS data center are interrupted for any reason
the sensor runs a rhythm detector that detects potential significant arrhythmias that have a high heart rate
or ventricular rhythm. If a potential arrhythmia is detected then an alert is presented to the patient that
instructs them to move to an area with cellular coverage or closer to the modem so the ECG data can be
transmitted to the data center for analysis and confirmation of the rhythm.
Powering the sensor
The sensor is powered by inserting the battery in the battery compartment. It is always on—there is no
separated on/off switch. The patient replaces the battery in the sensor once a day with a standard AAA
Alkaline battery

Leadset
The lead wires are permanently attached to the sensor hardware and are not user replaceable.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the lead wires from the sensor.
CAUTION: Inspect the leadwires for any fraying and/or cracking in the insulation prior to use.
Note: BMS will perform this check before providing the equipment to the patient.
Lanyard
A lanyard (neck cord) is attached to the sensor for the convenience of the patient and to prevent the sensor and lead wires from dangling. The lanyard can be removed from the sensor if desired
Battery
The sensor is powered by a 1.5V AAA alkaline battery. 1.5V “advanced lithium” or “Oxyride” batteries
can also be used to extend the battery life of the sensor, as long as are rated at 1.5 Volts.
CAUTION: Use only AAA alkaline batteries, or the batteries provided with the patient kit, in the sensor.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
CAUTION: Do not store sensor with the battery in place for extended periods of time. Remove the battery after each monitoring period

TruVue Handheld Operation
Handheld Operation
Communications
The Handheld communicates with the sensor over an encrypted Bluetooth link with a range of approximately 10 meters. The range of this link can vary depending in environmental factors. If the sensor and
handheld lose communication the patient will be alerted.
The Handheld transmits ECG data to the BMS data center over the cellular network. Transmissions are
bursted with a maximum latency of 2.5 minutes when the Handheld is in coverage on the network.
When out of coverage of either the cellular network or the optional modem, the handheld commands the
sensor to run the potential arrhythmia detector algorithm (described under the Sensor Operation section)
The Handheld also can transmit data to the BMS data center over a optional modem attached to the patients home phone line. The handheld communicates with the modem over an encrypted Bluetooth link
with a range of approximately 100 feet, allowing a single modem to provide coverage for the typical residence.
ECG data is transmitted to data center without modification and is protected from corruption by an error
detecting code embedded in the ECG data.
Text messages can be sent from the BMS monitoring center for display on the patients handheld device.
The Handheld can also receive a voice call from the monitoring center in the event that monitoring staff
wishes to speak with the patient and they cannot be reached at their regular phone numbers. Only the
monitoring center can initiate a voice call, the handheld will only accept incoming calls from the monitoring center, and the patient cannot initiate an outgoing call. The Handheld can operate as a speakerphone when desired by the patient.
CAUTION: The handheld is a cellular phone. Follow your implantable device manufacturers recommendations on the use of the cellular phones with your implant.

Algorithm Operation and Performance Specifications
Serious Arrhythmia
The TruVue arrhythmia detection algorithm continuously process ECG transmitted from the patient deices and detects the following rate and rhythm based arrhythmias:
Tachycardia
Bradycardia
Pause/Asystole
Atrial Fibrillation
Idioventricular rhythm
Supraventricular tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia
Ventricular Fibrillation
When an arrhythmia is detected, it is flagged for immediate review by a BMS certified cardiac technician.
The technician confirms the arrhythmia and prepares a report for immediate transmission if the arrhythmia meets the Serious Arrhythmia criteria specified by the physician.
Representative Samples, Trend and Arrhythmia Burden
Once per day, the TruVue algorithm scans all the entire ECG record transmitted from the patient and
collates representative samples, HR trend information and Arrhythmia burden information and presents
this information the monitoring center staff for review and transmission on the daily report. This information is also available for review at any time in GlobalCardio.
Representative samples are a set of samples that represent the patient’s condition for that day. The algorithm identifies the following samples:
1. If no arrhythmia occurred, the algorithm identifies the lowest noise, highest heart rate and lowest
noise, lowest heart rate samples
2. If arrhythmias did occur, for each serious arrhythmia class defined above the algorithm identifies the
most serious, lowest noise sample.
The HR trend graph presents the patient HR represented as a moving average over every 6 beats
The arrhythmia burden graph presents the amount of time the patient was in Atrial Fibrillation with 10
minute resolution. If the patient was in Atrial Fibrillation for over 30 seconds during any 10 minute period then that period is marked as AF. This graph can selectably be presented for the current day or for
the entire monitoring period to date.

Serious Arrhythmia Criteria
Any technician confirmed serious arrhythmia will be transmitted immediately to the physician on a serious arrhythmia report by the physicians preferred method of transmission.
The default criteria are:
Arrhythmia
Default Criteria
Criteria range
Pause/Asystole
> 3 seconds
2-5 seconds
Bradycardia
< 40 bpm
20-50 bpm
Tachycardia
> 180 bpm
120-220 bpm
Supraventricular tachycardia
>150bpm,>30 sec
Ventricular tachycardia
Rate: > 110 bpm
(3 or more beats)
Rate: 80-150bpm
Beats: 3-10
Idioventricular Rhythm
>30 beats
5-50 beats
Ventricular Fibrillation
Always
Atrial Fibrillation
First onset for patient
Then Vrate >150 or < 40
BPM
Patient Initiated

TruVue Algorithm Operation
Beat Detection and Classification
The TruVue algorithm can discriminate between normal and ventricular beat morphologies. For each
beat complex the algorithm determines the R-point for HR calculation
The beat detection performance (as tested under ANSI/AAMI-EC 57:1998, Testing and Reporting
Performance Results of Cardiac Rhythm and ST Segment Measurement Algorithms) is:
Sensitivity, %
Positive Predictivity, %
QRS detection (MIT DB)
99.92

Heart Rate Averaging
The heart rate is averaged over 6 R-R intervals (HR = 360/duration of 6 consecutive RR intervals ) and
becomes the basis for rate based arrhythmia detection following the beat classification step. The HR calculation had a mean RMS error of 1.731 as tested per EC-57 on the MIT database.
Atrial Fibrillation Detection Algorithm
The Atrial fibrillation algorithm detects the irregularity of R-R intervals and examines the signal for flutter waves. When a certain irregularity is detected, the algorithm performs additional checks to determine
if the underlying rhythm is bigeminy or trigeminy and looks at the presence of flutter waves as a secondary indicator.
Atrial Fibrillation detection performance as tested per EC-57 is:
Atrial Fibrillation detection – all events
