The SEEQ Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) System is a wearable,
wireless arrhythmia detection system that is used to aid clinicians in
diagnosing suspected cardiac arrhythmias. It consists primarily of the
Wearable Sensor monitoring device and the Transmitter (portable
data transmission device). The SEEQ MCT System, in combination
with interpretation services provided by the Medtronic Monitoring
Center, as well as secure online review of data (for prescribing
physicians only), enables patient- and physician-friendly arrhythmia
detection for up to 30 days at a time.
How the SEEQ MCT System works
Once activated, the Wearable Sensor continuously monitors the
heart and automatically collects ECGs. When rhythm abnormalities
are detected, data is automatically transmitted from the Wearable
Sensor to the Transmitter, which then automatically transmits the
data to the Medtronic Monitoring Center. Patients can also trigger
transmission of ECGs when they experience cardiac symptoms by
using the Patient Trigger Button. Certified cardiographic technicians
at the Medtronic Monitoring Center review received data and
document symptoms reported to the Medtronic Monitoring Center by
patients. Reports prepared by the Medtronic Monitoring Center are
delivered to the prescribing physician and made available to them at
www.medtronic.com to provide them with data for their diagnosis and
identification of various clinical conditions, events and/or trends.
Prescribing physicians may also be contacted by the Medtronic
Monitoring Center directly when arrhythmias that meet pre-defined
criteria are detected.
IMPORTANT:
▪ The SEEQ MCT System is not intended to be an alarm or to
alert patients or physicians, and will not summon
emergency response in the event help is needed.
SEEQ MCT Instructions for use
English
▪ The SEEQ MCT System is not intended to replace direct
communication with healthcare providers. Medtronic does
not provide medical advice to patients. Patients should
communicate with their prescribing physician to obtain
medical advice.
▪ Data provided by the system should be used by physicians
along with all other clinical findings and exams to come to
a diagnosis.
▪ Patients should talk to their healthcare provider
immediately if there are any concerns or if their condition
changes.
Getting started
Step 1: Locate the components of the SEEQ MCT System
The Wearable Sensor is a wearable
device that collects and transmits
physiological data. One or more

Arrhythmia Detection Algorithms and Automatic ECG Collection
In addition to patient-triggered collection of ECGs using the Patient
Trigger Button, the SEEQ MCT System also uses proprietary
algorithms based on rate, rhythm, and morphology to continuously
analyze rhythm abnormalities and to initiate automatic ECG
transmission. ECGs are automatically transmitted upon detection of
the following conditions:
▪ Heart Rate >= 130 bpm
▪ Heart Rate <= 40 bpm
▪ Pause >= 3 seconds
▪ Atrial Fibrillation
▪ Ventricular Tachycardia/Ventricular Fibrillation
For example, the detection algorithm of the SEEQ MCT System
detects the peak of each R-wave and calculates the interval between
successive R-waves. The RR intervals are then used to calculate
beat-to-beat heart rate values. RR intervals are also aggregated into
5-minute and 24-hour averages to summarize patient heart rate over
the monitoring period. For Pause detection, the algorithm monitors
the time between successive R-wave peaks. A pause trigger is
activated if an internal timer advances to 3 seconds without R-wave
detection.
In order to provide relevant, exception-based arrhythmia reporting,
the SEEQ MCT System proprietary ECG analysis algorithms
proactively manage redundant reporting of ECGs for a select set of
arrhythmias when persistently detected:
▪ Tachycardias with heart rate >= 130 bpm and < 165 bpm
▪ Bradycardias with heart rate >= 30 bpm and < 40 bpm
▪ Atrial Fibrillation
▪ Ventricular Tachycardia < 165 bpm
For these arrhythmias, the Wearable Sensor algorithm detection
sensitivity and positive predictive value results, which are obtained
from the respective databases in strict accordance with EC-57a and
with 0% downtime, are as follows:

SEEQ MCT Instructions for use
Redundant reporting of ECGs for this select set of arrhythmias is
managed as follows:
▪ The Wearable Sensor will report no more than two (2) ECGs for
each of these arrhythmias each hour.
▪ The Wearable Sensor will wait ten (10) minutes before allowing
a subsequent ECG to be reported for each of these
arrhythmias.
Note: a) ECGs are reported for all Tachycardias with heart rate
>= 165 bpm, all Bradycardias with heart rate < 30 bpm, and all
Pauses >= 3 seconds; b) the Wearable Sensor keeps a complete
count of all arrhythmias that are detected; c) supplemental ECGs are
also reported i) every six (6) hours for prolonged Atrial Fibrillation
episodes and ii) every twenty-four (24) hours, irrespective of the
presence of an arrhythmia.

heart).
How long will my Wearable Sensor last?
Each Wearable Sensor is designed to last up to 7.5 days. However,
inappropriate Wearable Sensor application, or removal and
reapplication of the Wearable Sensor during use, will affect
monitoring. If this happens, you may be required to use another
Wearable Sensor.
What information is transmitted to my physician?
Your heart activity is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by the
Wearable Sensor. When unusual heart activity is detected or when
you use the Patient Trigger Button, information is transmitted to the
Medtronic Monitoring Center for review and delivery to your
physician.

What do I do when I feel symptoms?
Whenever symptoms occur, trigger the Wearable Sensor to transmit
a record of your heart activity by pushing the blue Patient Trigger
Button located in the middle of the Wearable Sensor until you hear a
beep. An ECG will be transmitted to the Transmitter and then
transmitted to the Medtronic Monitoring Center for review and
delivery to your physician.
How can I report my symptoms?
Technicians from Medtronic may call you to discuss your symptoms.
Please make note of the type of symptoms, the duration of
symptoms, when they happened, and what you were doing so it can
be discussed with a technician. You should contact your physician if
you need medical care.
Can I take a shower while wearing my Wearable Sensor?
Yes, the Wearable Sensor is water resistant so you can shower while
wearing it. However, do NOT submerge the Wearable Sensor in
water by swimming or sitting in a hot tub. In addition, avoid excessive
rubbing of the Wearable Sensor during showering.
Will I need to change the battery in the Transmitter or the
Wearable Sensor?
Battery replacement is not required for the Wearable Sensor and the
Transmitter. However, we recommend that you charge the
Transmitter every night.
How close must I be to the Transmitter to ensure that the data
collected by my Wearable Sensor is transmitted?
Remain within 30 feet (9 meters) of the Transmitter for successful
data transmission.
How often do I need to change the Wearable Sensor device?
When both of the following two symbols (
and
) appear on the
Wearable Sensor display, you should remove the Wearable Sensor.
Please apply a new Wearable Sensor if your monitoring period has
not ended.
What if the Wearable Sensor causes my skin to itch?
If you experience skin irritation while wearing the Wearable Sensor,
speak with your physician.
Should I carry the Transmitter with me when I travel?
Yes, take the Transmitter with you at all times. The Transmitter will
remain charged for up to 12 hours. If you plan to be away for longer
than 12 hours, take the Transmitter Charger with you.
Will I need to notify security screeners about my Wearable
Sensor?
Carry the SEEQ MCT System patient travel card provided as part of
your SEEQ MCT System when traveling or entering high security
areas. Wearable Sensor and Transmitter devices may trigger security
systems, but the devices will not be damaged. If your Wearable
Sensor or Transmitter triggers a security system, simply show the
security personnel this card and tell them you are wearing a medical
device.
