Heart Rate . Respirations - CardiacOutput As the monitor tracks these assessment parameters, a Life Score number is assigned based on the change in trend over time. NciQ is a monitor that uses bioimpedance technology to provide quick easy vital sign assessment in any en- vironment. The NcIQ is NOT a medical diagnostic de- vice. The doctor or a designated clinical professional is responsible for interpreting what action may be re- quired as a result of the NciCl reported values. Indiwtions NcIQ can be used for: . Trauma assessment Precautions - Pacemakers - Internal Cardiac Defibrillators Contraindlcations Nle should not be used: ‘ . . - Directly on the skin when indiViduaIs have skin sensitivities to adhesive material - Directly over metallic materials suck as Kevlar, aluminum, etc. The Nle Kit The Nle Kit contains the following: . Nle Monitor —- 1 NcIQ Battery — 2 Nle Backers - 5 Nle Receiver — 1 NciQ Receiver Software — 1 Nle Physical Features Description The front of the NcIQ has one Start Button (1) and one yellow light that flashes (2) when the device is searching for a good signal. The yellow light glows constant without flashing when a good signal is found, indicating that the Nle should be left in place. 1. Stan Button 2. Signal Acquisition Light Front of the NcIQ On the front of the Nle are a series of four label icons that depict how to use the Nle: 0 Start . Set . Signal . Stick These are part of the label instmction, and not buttons for use. The back of the NcIQ has a peel off adhesive backer (3) that attaches to textiles, clothing or the skin. 3. Adhesive Backer How to Use the Nle NcIQ means Noncontact IQ and can be used on the out- side of regular clothes to monitor important vital signs, or apply directly to the skin. 1. START— Press the start button. Depress the start button down until it clicks and a green light will appear underthe start button. 2. SET— When the Nle is turned on, the yellow signal acquisition light will begin to blink. At this time the Nle is searching for an adequate signal to meas- ure. Hold the Nle on the center of your chest over your clothing, or directly on the skin. When the yellow light is flashing the NcIQ is still looking for a signal to measure. You will also feel one small buzz which also indicates that the Nle is searching for a good signal. 3. SlGNAL— When the yellow light changes to a solid steady light, then the Nle has found the correct place- ment for signal acquisition. You will also feel three small buzzes or vibrations from the NcIQ which means that you need to leave the NcIQ in one spot. 4. STICK— When the yellow light quits flashing and becomes solid, and you the three vibrations, indi- cating that you have found the correct NcIQ place— ment, then gently allow the NcIQ to come away from your chest and peel back the adhesive backer. The adhesive backer can be placed on the outside of clothes or directly on the skin NW» rmfii. Note if the Nle loses signal acquisition the yellow light will flash again and one short buzz or vibration can be felt. Return the NcIQ to the spot where you last re- ceived signal acquisition and then wait for the yellow light to turn $0|ld and feel three short buzzes. 5. SENDING — Within minutes the MGM) is sending your measurement parameters to the NcIQ re— ceiver designated by the healthcare professional. See back page for Nle receiver downloading in- structions. Power Battery install . Slide open the battery door on the bottom of the NcIQ. . Insert the battery pack as shown in the picture below. . . Replace the battery door - Test the unit after replacing each battery. Maintenance Batteries 0 Only NcIQ batteries can be used to power up the Nle. These custom batteries can be obtained from a certified distributor or directly from Nonin- vasive Medical Technologies . Nle batteries should last for eight continuous hours of use. . The battery charge is becoming low when the green Start button light begins to blink. Dispose of batteries at designated battery. disposal locations only. Cleaning . The outside surface of the Nle may be cleaned with a soft pad soaked in alcohol (95%).A new adhesive backer should be replaced in between patient use. 10 Technical Specifications Meg Disposable alkaline manganese dioxide - AAAA- 9 cells in series parallel combination.
