Intended Use
The SenseWear® armband can be used as a monitor for applications such as:
nutritional diagnostics, metabolic diseases, pediatrics, pulmonary and cardiac
studies, geriatrics, internal medicine, occupational medicine, neurology, psy-
chiatrics, sleep screening, and in general anywhere it is necessary to monitor
caloric and energy consumption, movement, physical activity, quality of life,
lifestyle, behavior and/or stress.
This product complies with the general requirements for a safe medical device
under applicable directives. However, this product alone is not meant to
substitute for proper medical diagnosis, care, or treatment. Clinicians should
not make drastic changes to a user’s lifestyle based solely on data from the
armband. The SenseWear armband has been clinically validated for subjects
between 7 and 65 years of age who are engaged in resting, ambulatory, station-
ary biking, motoring and weight-lifting activities, etc. Due to metabolic varia-
tions, subjects who are 1) outside this age range or 2) engaged in alternate
or obscure activities may see decreased accuracy in the data. Any decisions
based on the data from this device should be made only by medical or para-
medic personnel and should consider the condition and lifestyle of the subject
tested. The SenseWear® armband should not be used for life critical applica-
tions; improper usage may result in harm or even death to the wearer.
This product is non-defi brillation proof.
Do not get the device close to other devices that can cause electromagnetic
interferences of any nature.
This EQUIPMENT not suitable for use in the presence of a FLAMMABLE AN-
AESTHETIC MIXTURE WITH AIR or WITH OXYGEN OR NITROUS OXIDE.

Please be sure to verify equipment is connected and used compliant to
UL1950.
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and
needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information
provided on pages 8-11. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment
can affect medical electrical equipment.
The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment and if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or
system should be observed to verify normal operation in the confi guration in
which it will be used.
The SenseWear® wireless communicator should not be used in airplanes,
hospitals or locations where cellular telephones or electronic devices are
prohibited.
Keep the SenseWear® armband and wireless communicator out of reach of
children. Both products contain smaller, removable parts which can become
choking hazards.
Wear comfortably
Be careful not to over-tighten the armband while on your arm. If, at any time,
you feel constriction or loss of circulation, simply loosen the adjustable strap
and re-fasten it to a more comfortable setting.
Be sure that both your arm and the sensors on the back of the armband are
cleaned daily. To clean the sensors, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. If you de-
velop a rash where the armband comes in contact with your skin, discontinue
5 6
importantimportant
use and consult your physician before continuing regular use of the armband.
The design of the armband involved many materials experts, physicians, and
suppliers who are familiar with wearable materials and products. Each mate-
rial was chosen for its precedent in other skin contact products or has been
independently approved for skin contact. However, everyone’s skin is different
and wearers with very sensitive skin may experience irritation or redness after
wearing the armband. If this occurs, discontinue use and consult your physi-
cian. If you have known metals allergies, you should consult your physician
prior to wearing. Do not wear armband when open sores are present.
Check armband for sharp edges or damage before each use.
There have been reports of scratches/cuts associated with the Velcro tab of the
strap. The Velcro tab should be aligned with the strap to avoid contact with the
skin. Also, excessively hot armbands, such as those left in a car in the summer,
may cause skin burns if they are not allowed to cool before use.
When the armband is on the arm, DO NOT connect it to the USB cable.
Users with sensitive skin should avoid wearing the armband excessively. If you
have sensitive skin, remove the armband 1 hour for every 24 hours of wear
time to reduce potential for skin irritation.
Water resistance
The armband is not intended for long term operation under water. The arm-
band is IP67 water resistant to 1 meter under water for 30 minutes. Loss of
data may occur if the armband is under water for a longer period of time.
Please note when submerging the armband in water:
Data accuracy may become compromised if the sensing module is
submerged in water.
The wing seal must be in good condition and the wing must be properly
attached to the sensing module to avoid damaging the unit.
Do not get the sensing module wet while removed from the wing assemble
as damage will occur.
Handling
Though the SenseWear® armband was designed for wearability and long-term
use, it is a sensitive monitoring device. Rough handling can break internal
components. Never drop or shock the armband and always store it in a safe
place when not in use.
Avoid exposing the armband to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, mois-
ture, sand, dust, or mechanical shock.
To prevent possible damage to the USB cable, grasp the plug end when dis-
connecting the USB cable. Replace the cable if it becomes frayed.
Dispose of device in accordance with local, state, federal, or country specifi c
regulations.
Maintenance
Do not attempt to open the armband yourself. It contains no user-serviceable
parts. Refer all servicing to qualifi ed Service Personnel. Opening the armband
yourself will void the warranty.

If the armband is dropped, ensure that it is working properly and not physi-
cally damaged before relying on readings.
Cleaning
Always clean and dry the armband after vigorous sweating activities or when
it becomes noticeably moist or dirty. Failure to keep the armband clean, or
improper cleaning, may irritate the skin and affect the sensor performance.
Moisten a soft cloth or towel with mild disinfectant soap and water. Wipe and
dry the skin-touching side of the armband. Never use solvents to clean the
armband, only for disinfecting (see below). The adjustable strap should be
hand-washed with mild soap and warm water, then air-dried. Machine drying
should be avoided.
Disinfecting
Wipe back of armband with soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol.

troubleshootingtroubleshooting
My armband is not automatically turning on when I slide it on my arm.
If your armband has not turned on within 10 minutes of putting it on, try
lightly moistening the back of your upper arm with water and slide the arm-
band on again. It should turn on within a few minutes. If the problem persists,
please contact Technical Support.
When I try to upload data from my armband, I get an error message.
If you are having diffi culty uploading your armband data, it could be one
of several reasons. Please double check the following and try again. If the
problem still persists, please contact Technical Support.
If you are uploading wirelessly, make sure you are within 10 feet of your PC.
If you wander outside of this range, the upload may not work. Also, make
sure that your armband has had a chance to turn on. It can take up to 10
minutes for the armband to turn on after you have put it on your arm.
If you are uploading via the USB cable, make sure the cable is connected to
the armband and the port on the back of your PC.
Make sure your battery or available memory is not too low. To make sure
that the armband is powered on and the battery and memory are function-
ing, press the Status button while the armband is on your arm. If it pro-
duces the low sequence when you push it, the battery or memory is too low.
If it produces the very low sequence, the battery is drained or the memory is
full. When you plug the USB cable in while uploading, if the battery light is
red, it needs to be recharged before you can upload.
Make sure you have the USB driver installed on the computer you are using.
If you are using a computer that is different than the one you used during
registration and set-up when you fi rst received the armband, you may need
to download the software that enables you to retrieve your data from the
armband to the computer. This is called the USB driver.

My armband is not responding. It seems to be off, and I cannot get it to come
back on.
Press the Status button. If the battery or memory lights are fl ashing red, either
the battery needs to be recharged or the memory is full. If after pressing the
Status button you still receive no feedback (no lights or sound), try recharging
the battery, it may have drained while you were not wearing the armband. If
after recharging the battery you still do not receive feedback, please contact
technical support and they will help solve the issue.
My armband is beeping while it is on my arm.
Solution 1: Press the Status button. If the battery lights are fl ashing red or
amber, the battery is low and will need to be replaced.
Solution 2: Press the Status button. If the memory lights are fl ashing red or
amber, the memory is low and you must upload the data and clear to continue
collecting data.
Solution 3: You may have reminders set on your armband. Check this by click-
ing on the Personal Assistance tab and clicking Reminders.
NOTE: When installing the support software on your machine,
make sure the armband or wireless communicator is NOT plugged
into the USB cable! This will cause the driver to fail to install. If this
happens, simply unplug the armband or Wireless Communicator from
the USB cable and plug it in again. The driver will then install properly.
