I N T RODUC T ION How the CardioNet Service Works 1 2 Sensor detects and analyses heartbeats When you’re using the CardioNet service, you’ll wear a small, lightweight sensor on your chest. The sensor detects and analyses each heartbeat and sends data to the portable CardioNet monitor. Introduction Monitor transmits events The CardioNet monitor can be tucked away in a pocket or purse. When the sensor detects an event, or when you report an event using the touch screen on the monitor, it transmits the data to the CardioNet Monitoring Center. How the CardioNet Service Works The CardioNet Monitoring Center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At the Center, specially trained cardiac technicians analyze your heart rhythms and report results to your physician. Your physician reviews your results Your physician reviews the report, discusses results with you and prescribes or adjusts treatment as needed. Introduction 1. I N T RODUC T ION 3 4 CardioNet reports to your physician 1. I N T RODUC T ION Your CardioNet Monitoring Supplies The CardioNet Kit The CardioNet Kit contains the supplies you will need while you are on the CardioNet Monitoring Service. If any items are missing or broken, or if you have any questions about how to use them, please call CardioNet at 1-866-426-4401. When service is ended, follow the detailed instructions in What to Do When Your Monitoring is Over located in this chapter and please return the equipment promptly to the CardioNet Monitoring Center. Picture Kit Photo Here Item and Description CARDIONET SHIPPING KIT The CardioNet shipping kit contains all the items you will need during your monitoring service. You can also reference the inside lid of the kit for information on where each item is located in the kit. CARDIONET SENSOR The sensor can be worn around the neck or on a belt. It detects each heartbeat and sends data to the CardioNet monitor. To communicate with the monitor, the sensor must remain close to the monitor. Walls and other obstructions can interfere with the communications between the sensor and the monitor. If you go out of communications range, the sensor and monitor will beep to alert you. CARDIONET Monitor The monitor constantly analyzes data from the sensor and sends events to the CardioNet Monitoring Center. The monitor uses wireless communication when not in the base and uses the regular phone system when the monitor is placed in the base. You will not be charged by the telephone company for calls made by your monitor. CARDIONET BASE The base recharges the CardioNet monitor and allows the monitor to communicate with the Monitoring Center using your home phone system. The bases are connected to your phone line and plugged into electrical outlets in your bedroom and another room in your home. Introduction Your CardioNet Monitoring Supplies Item and Description ELECTRODES Electrodes are disposable sticky pads that snap onto the three colored lead wires on the CardioNet sensor. You remove the backing and stick them to clean, dry, hairless skin. If you need more electrodes call CardioNet at 1-866-426-4401. AA BATTERIES The AA batteries provide power to the CardioNet sensor. The battery must be replaced each day. Please use only CardioNet-supplied AA batteries. If you need more batteries call CardioNet at 1-866-426-4401. SENSOR NECK STRAP & BELT CLIP Use the neck strap if you prefer to wear the sensor around your neck. Use the belt clip if you prefer to wear the sensor on your belt.

Who to Call with Questions If you have any questions about your monitoring service or billing, please call one of our toll free numbers. Customer service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Customer Service: 1-866-426-4401 Monitoring Questions: 1-866-426-4401 Billing Questions: 1-866-426-4402 Introduction In the Case of an Emergency In the course of monitoring your heart, CardioNet may detect cardiac events which are potentially life-threatening and were not anticipated by your physician. As directed in the physician notification criteria, if CardioNet detects such an event, CardioNet will attempt to contact you and your physician as soon as possible. However, CardioNet’s ability to obtain information regarding a cardiac event and to contact you or your physician in a timely manner is limited by a number of factors, including: • Transmission of information about a cardiac event to CardioNet‘s monitoring center is potentially limited by the availability of standard telephone lines and/or cellular phone coverage. • There is an inherent time delay from the time that an event is detected to when the events are analyzed and confirmed by a Certified Cardiac Technician (CCT). • There is an inherent time delay from when the event is analyzed and confirmed by the CCT to when CardioNet is able to make contact with you or your physician. • If you or your physician are not accessible by telephone, CardioNet will not succeed in making contact with you or your physician. When CardioNet does detect a potentially serious cardiac event as defined by your physician, CardioNet will attempt to contact your physician for direction. CardioNet will also attempt to contact you and inform you of any cardiac event that has been received that may require evaluation in the emergency room, per your physician’s notification criteria. You may decide to seek medical help by calling your Emergency Medical Services (EMS) directly or you may ask that CardioNet assist you in contacting EMS. The CardioNet system was designed to help physicians diagnose and treat heart rhythm problems. There are other serious heart conditions that may not be detected by the system. Because of this, and because of the limitations of the CardioNet system described above, you should not delay seeking medical help if you experience symptoms that concern you. Also, you should not rely on CardioNet as an emergency response service. Introduction 1. I N T RODUC T ION CardioNet is not an emergency response service. If you experience symptoms that concern you, seek medical help. 1. I N T RODUC T ION What to Do When your Monitoring is Over When your prescription is over and CardioNet has received data for the number of days your physician has requested, the monitor will be deactivated in the middle of the night. You may hear the monitor beep. If in the morning the screen on your monitor states that your prescription has ended, turn the monitor off and remove the battery in the sensor. Remove the electrodes from your body. Pack items in the kit by following the instructions on the inside of the kit lid. Before you close the kit, complete the Patient Satisfaction Survey and place it with the Patient Education Guide, laminated reminder card and Pocket Guide on the top of the contents of the kit. If you have not returned the Patient Enrollment Form, include a signed copy with these items as well. After everything is in the kit, close the lid and put the kit in the white plastic bag that was included in the kit contents. Seal the white bag. Stick the UPS pre-paid mailing label on the outside of the white plastic bag. The kit is now ready to return and you can choose one of 3 ways to return it to CardioNet: 1. You can call UPS 1-800-742-5877 and UPS will pick it up. If you call UPS you will need to explain that it’s a pre-paid 2nd Day Air package. You will not be charged anything. 2. You can drop off the kit at Staples, the UPS Store, or another location with UPS drop-off. 3. You, or a family member, can bring it to your work if they have daily UPS pick-up. If you do not return the kit CardioNet will bill you for the contents. Please return the kit as soon as you can so other patients can use the equipment. Introduction 2 G ET T ING STA RT E D In this Chapter: • Connecting from Home • How to Install the CardioNet Base • About the CardioNet Base • How to Activate the CardioNet Sensor • Tips for Wearing the CardioNet Sensor • How to Activate the CardioNet Monitor Connecting from Home 2 . GE T T I NG STA RT E D This chapter describes the steps you will need to take in order to set up the CardioNet monitoring system and begin monitoring. You may want to ask for assistance from a family member if you are not comfortable doing these steps on your own. The first step you (or a family member) needs to do is to install the base. The instructions on the next few pages will assist you in completing the installation. The base needs to be installed in the room where you sleep. When setting up a base, you will need a phone jack and an electrical outlet. When your monitor is on the base, your sensor will still be able to communicate with the monitor as long as they are within range of each other. If you go out of communications range, the monitor and sensor will beep to alert you. To ensure good communication, stay close to the monitor while it is in the base or simply take the monitor out of the base and bring it with you when you leave the room. You can go about your normal daily activities - just wear your sensor and bring your monitor with you wherever you go. At night keep the monitor in the base near your bed. The monitor will recharge and it will also transmit your heart data to CardioNet’s Monitoring Center. As you sleep, you can remove the sensor from the neck strap or belt clip and lay it on the bed next to you on the same side of the bed as your monitor. The sensor will move with you as you move. Try not to lie on top of the sensor. The monitor and sensor can not communicate with one another through bodies (your own body, your partner’s, your child’s, your pet’s, etc.) If the monitor beeps at night, sometimes just repositioning the sensor near the monitor will stop the beeping. If the beeping continues, it might be for another reason, like “lead disconnected.” You can read the message on the screen for information on how to resolve the problem. After the base is installed, connect yourself to the sensor using the instructions in this chapter. After you are wearing the sensor, you will need to activate your monitor. Activating the monitor will require a password which you can obtain by calling CardioNet at 1-866-426-4401. 10 Getting Started How to Install the CardioNet Base The table below will help you gather all the items you will need to install each CardioNet base. All items are located in your CardioNet kit. Items You’ll Need for Base Installation Item and Quantity Picture of Item Kit Location Place shipper kit image here CardioNet Base Telephone Cord Place shipper kit image here Power Plug Getting Started 11 2 . GE T T I NG STA RT E D Place shipper kit image here How to Install the CardioNet Base 123 Find your phone cord Plug phone cord into base Find an electrical outlet located close to telephone jack, preferably in your bedroom. Locate the telephone cord plugged into the back of your home phone. Unplug the telephone cord from the back of your telephone. On the CardioNet base, locate the slot labeled “Phone In” on the back of the base. Take the telephone cord you just unplugged from the back of your phone and plug it into the slot on the base labeled “Phone In”. 2 . GE T T I NG STA RT E D Look for outlet and jack Pick up the receiver of your home phone and listen to ensure there is a dial tone. 12 Getting Started How to Install the CardioNet Base Plug in power cord In the CardioNet kit, find the telephone cord. Locate the slot labeled “Phone Out” on the back of the base. Plug one end of this telephone cord into the slot on the base labeled “Phone Out”. Plug the other end of this cord into the back of your telephone. In the kit, locate the power cord. On the back of the base, locate the round hole labeled “Power”. Plug the small, round end of the power cord into the slot on the base labeled “Power”. Plug the other end into an electrical outlet. 2 . GE T T I NG STA RT E D 45 Plug in second phone cord Check your home phone for a dial tone. Getting Started 13 About the CardioNet Base The Base Recharges your Monitor The base functions as a recharging station for your CardioNet monitor. When you insert the monitor into the base correctly, “Monitor is Charging” will appear on the screen. The monitor’s rechargeable battery provides between 12 to 16 hours of use. If you plan to be away from home for more than 12 hours, you should bring one of the black power cords with you. At some point during the day, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and charge your monitor by inserting the other end of the power cord into the hole on the side of the monitor. 2 . GE T T I NG STA RT E D The Base Transmits Events Using your Home Telephone When your CardioNet monitor is in the base, it uses your home telephone system for communications with the CardioNet Monitoring Center. When you are away from home – or whenever your CardioNet monitor is out of the base station – the monitor uses cell phone technology to contact the CardioNet Monitoring Center and transmit data. You do not need a cell phone. The monitor uses its own cell phone. As with consumer cellular phones, calls can sometimes be delayed or blocked by coverage problems, heavy traffic on cell phone networks, or physical obstructions such as buildings or mountains. If the CardioNet monitor has data to transmit and is unable to communicate with the CardioNet Monitoring Center through cellular communications, the monitor will store the data and transmit it when cell coverage becomes available or through your home telephone system when the monitor is placed in the base. If you pick up your telephone while the monitor is in the base and transmitting data, you will hear static, like the sound a fax machine makes. Hang up the phone and wait a few minutes while the data is sent and then you will get a dial tone. If you must use your phone and the monitor is transmitting data, take the monitor out of the base and make your call. When you are done with the call, however, you should return your monitor to the base right away to complete the transmission. If you are on the phone and the monitor wants to transmit data, you might hear clicking sounds. If you are using a dial-up connection to access the Internet on the same phone line as the base, and the monitor is in the base transmitting data, it may disconnect you from the Internet. Hang up and the monitor will transmit the data. When the monitor is in the base and transmitting data, your telephone line will have a busy signal for incoming calls. You will not be charged for any calls your monitor makes to CardioNet. 14 Getting Started How to Activate the CardioNet Sensor The table below will help you gather all the items you will need to begin using your CardioNet sensor. All items are located in your CardioNet kit. Items You’ll Need to Begin Using your CardioNet Sensor Item and Quantity Picture of Item Kit Location Place shipper kit image here CardioNet Sensor 2 .

GE T T I NG STA RT E D White on right 17 Tips for Wearing the CardioNet Sensor How the Electrodes Work The CardioNet sensor uses three electrode pads, carefully placed on your body to detect heartbeats by sensing electrical changes on the surface of your skin. The electrode pads are attached to three leads - a white lead, a black lead and a red lead. The leads can be snapped on and off the electrodes. This allows you to take off the leads and sensor before showering – without removing the electrode pads. 2 . GE T T I NG STA RT E D It is very important that you follow the instructions in Chapter 4: Changing Your Electrodes. By following these instructions carefully you are providing CardioNet with a clear reading of your heartbeats while maintaining the health of your skin.

SE NSOR C A R E Tips for Changing Electrode Pads Changing your Electrode Pads and Keeping Your Skin Healthy Change your electrodes every other day. If they come loose before that time, replace them immediately. If you are showering or bathing on the day you need to change them, remove them in the shower or bath. Lather them up with soap and water and pull them off gently. When you are done with your shower, dry your skin and follow the instructions in How to Change your Electrodes. If you do not remove the electrodes in the shower or bath, you will still need to use soap and water to loosen them. The goal is to be gentle with your skin. Never pull the electrodes off quickly like a band-aid. If the electrodes come loose or are moving around before the two days are over, replace them immediately. It is very important that the electrodes adhere to your skin at all times. You may want to press lightly on your electrodes in the morning when you wake up and throughout the day to make sure they are adhered to your skin. Do not put the electrodes in the exact same location each time you change them. It is very important that you rotate the locations near the original sites. This will help preserve your skin. If, at any time, redness or irritation occurs, call CardioNet at 1-866-426-4401. Do not wait until the irritation is severe before you call. The “Skin Prep” in your kit can be used if you experience mild skin irritation. Wipe the 3 areas with one skin prep. Let it dry and then apply the electrodes. The skin prep provides a barrier between the electrodes and your skin. It is usually not necessary to use the skin prep and should only be used if you have sensitive skin or are experiencing mild skin irritation. Adhesive remover is also included in your kit and can be used if you have any adhesive residue left on your skin. The adhesive remover can irritate your skin so make sure you wash it off after using. It is not necessary to use the adhesive remover and should only be used if you can see visible adhesive still on your skin after washing with soap and water. Do not use lotion or powder on your chest while you are being monitored and remove all hair on your chest in the locations of the electrodes. Follow the instructions in the next few pages on How to Change Electrodes. 42 Sensor Care How to Change Electrodes and Attach Sensor Remove sensor battery Remove old electrodes With your monitor on, locate the black toggle switch on the bottom of you monitor.

If you need more information, press the Help button to access detailed instructions on how to troubleshoot the problem. Troubleshooting 53 5. T ROU BL E SHOOT I NG An alert prompts you to resolve a problem by displaying an information screen and beeping an audio tone. With alerts the problem can fix itself and you won’t need to take any action. With alarms you will need to take some action and information on how to resolve the problem will be provided on the touch screen. An alarm persists to let you know that a problem has not been resolved and you must take action. Troubleshooting Problem Monitor battery power drains quickly 5. T ROU BL E SHOOT I NG Monitor screen is blank Possible Solutions Ensure battery is being fully recharged every day. A full recharge takes approximately 4 hours and will last 16 hours. Ensure the monitor is being placed in the base correctly. If the monitor does not make contact with the plug in the base, it may not recharge. It could be that the monitor is not turned on. Ensure the monitor is turned on by confirming that the LED light is flashing red or green. If the monitor is asleep, press the blue button. The screen should light up. If it doesn’t, the monitor may be low on power. Return the monitor to the base for recharging. Monitor beeps while you are in bed It is possible for your body to block communications between the sensor and monitor. This will cause warning beeps. To avoid beeps and maintain the communications link, place the sensor near the monitor on the bed next to you. Try not to lie on top of it or to get between the sensor and monitor while you are sleeping. Your phone line is busy When the monitor is in the base station and sending information it will use your telephone line. If someone calls you while the monitor is using the line, they will get a busy signal. If you try to place a call while the monitor is transmitting data, you will hear a high- pitched sound. This is the sound of monitor data being transmitted. Skin is irritated or reddened If you notice that the skin under or around your electrode pads is becoming sensitive, irritated or painful, or if you develop a rash, please call the CardioNet Patient Service Center immediately at 1866-426-4401. Some people are sensitive or allergic to adhesives. CardioNet will send you another type of electrode pad. Sensor belt If you’re wearing a thicker belt and finding that it is difficult to clip is difficult slide on the Sensor Belt Clip, first remove the CardioNet Sensor to put on from the clip. Slide just the clip onto your belt and then reposition the sensor on the clip. 54 Troubleshooting Precautions PRECAUTIONS DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY Observe all local laws for the disposal of alkaline batteries. WHEN NOT IN USE, REMOVE SENSOR BATTERY Do not leave the battery in the sensor when it is not in use. AVOID ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE There is a potential for electromagnetic interference to other devices while using the CardioNet Service. USE WITH IMPLANTED PACEMAKERS AND ICDs ( DEFIBRILLATORS) If you have an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD), the manufacturer may have recommended you take certain precautions when using a cellular phone. Since the CardioNet monitor contains a cellular phone, you should take the same precautions when carrying and using the monitor. In general, most manufacturers recommend the following: • You should keep a distance of at least six inches (15 cm) between the cellular phone and a pacemaker or defibrillator. • You should hold the cellular phone on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker or defibrillator. • Don’t carry a cellular phone in a breast pocket or on a belt if that would place the phone within six inches of the pacemaker or defibrillator. • You should refer to the manufacturer’s information for guidance regarding your pacemaker or ICD and interference issues. Troubleshooting 55 5. T ROU BL E SHOOT I NG For the best recording results, you should avoid close proximity to heavy equipment or other sources of electromagnetic interference such as electric blankets, heating pads, water beds, etc. Cautions CAUTIONS POWER DOWN Monitor AND SENSOR BEFORE SHOWERING Power down the monitor and remove the sensor before showering. The CardioNet sensor and monitor are water resistant, not waterproof. DO NOT GET THE Monitor AND SENSOR WET Make sure the monitor and sensor stay dry at all times. 5. T ROU BL E SHOOT I NG LIMITATIONS OF COVERAGE CardioNet’s ability to obtain information regarding a cardiac event and to contact you or your physician in a timely manner is limited by a number of factors including: • Transmission of information about a cardiac event to CardioNet‘s Monitoring Center is potentially limited by the availability of standard telephone lines and/or cellular phone coverage. • There is an inherent time delay from the time that an event is detected to when the events are analyzed and confirmed by a Certified Cardiac Technician (CCT). • There is an inherent time delay from when the event is analyzed and confirmed by the CCT to when CardioNet is able to make contact with you or your physician. • If you or your physician are not accessible by telephone, CardioNet will not succeed in making contact with you or your physician MAINTAIN MINIMUM DISTANCE FROM BASE Due to RF exposure, maintain a minimum distance of 20cm from the base. 56 Troubleshooting Warnings WARNINGS FOR ADULT USE ONLY The CardioNet System is intended for Adult Use only.
