INTRODUCTION This user manual provides information on the QT ECG system and instructions on how to use it. 1.1 System Description The QT ECG system is a hand-held, cordless 12-lead electrocardiograph (ECG) system with Bluetooth connectivity. The QT ECG system consists of 3 major components: ● ● ● The QT ECG Recorder – Compact device that records 12-lead, resting electrocardiograms, then transmits the recorded data to a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) paired via Bluetooth. A Bluetooth-enabled mobile device (not included) is needed to operate the QT ECG Recorder, and to send the recoded rhythm strip to a cardiologist or licensed physician for review. The QT Electrode Strip – Disposable, patented electrodes that are prepositioned on a self-adhesive strip The QT ECG App – Software that lets you use your mobile device to operate the QT ECG recorder, then send the recorded data via email to a certified medical professional for review. Note: To use the QT ECG system, you will need to have a Bluetooth- enabled mobile device. Warning: Use only manufacturer-approved accessories with the QT ECG. Warning: The QT ECG is not intended for treatment or monitoring. It captures data that reflect the patient’s physiological condition. The data must be reviewed and analyzed by a cardiologist or trained physician before a diagnosis is made. 1.2 Indication for Use The QT ECG System is intended to acquire, record and process an electrocardiographic signal so that it can be transmitted digitally via Bluetooth technology to a cell-phone or mobile device, then to a remote location. The QT ECG System is indicated for use on adult patients and pediatric patients age 18 – 22 years. It is designed to be used by a patient or other layperson in the home, or by healthcare workers in non-acute care clinical facilities (such as nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities), to record and transmit a 12-lead ECG and rhythm strip in real-time to enable review at a physician's office, hospital or other medical receiving centers. 1.3 Intended Use The QT ECG System is intended for use on adult patients and pediatric patients age 18 – 22 years to acquire ECG signals so that it can be transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth to a cell-phone or mobile device, then to a remote location. The QT ECG System is designed to be used by a patient to record ECG data and transmit to a physician’s office, hospital or other medical receiving center for review 1.4 Contraindications There are no known contraindications. 1.5 Environment The QT ECG system is designed for home use and for use in non-clinical settings. No professional medical training is required to use this system. 1.6 Symbols The following symbols are used in this manual and in the product: The QT ECG Recorder Symbol/Marking Description FCC Declaration of Conformity mark.

Guidance for Electromagnetic Emissions: QT ECG is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of QT ECG should assure that it is used in such an environment. Emissions test Compliance RF emissions Group 2 RF emissions Class B Harmonic emissions Class A Voltage fluctuations/ Complies CISPR 11 CISPR 11 IEC 61000-3-2 Flicker emissions Electromagnetic environment – guidance QT ECG must emit electromagnetic energy in order to perform its intended function. Nearby electronic equipment may be affected. QT ECG is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. IEC 61000-3-3 Guidance for Electromagnetic Immunity: QT ECG is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of QT ECG should assure that it is used in such an environment. Immunity test Electrostatic discharge (ESD) IEC 61000-4-2 67 IEC 60601 test level Compliance level ±6 kV contact ±6 kV contact ±8 kV air ±8 kV air Electromagnetic environment –guidance Floors should be wood, concrete or ceramic tile.

The customer or the user of QT ECG should assure that it is used in such an environment. Immunity test IEC 60601 test level Compliance level Electromagnetic environment – guidance Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of QT ECG, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. 68 Conducted RF IEC 61000-4-6 Radiated RF IEC 61000-4-3 3 Vrms 150 kHz to 80 MHz 3 V/m 3 Vrms Recommended separation distance d = 1.2 3 V/m 80 MHz to 2,5 GHz d = 1.2 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 2.3 800 MHz to 2,5 GHz where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol: NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which QT ECG is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, QT ECG should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating QT ECG. a Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m. b Recommended Separation Distances between Mobile RF 69 Communications Equipment and QT ECG: QT ECG is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of QT ECG can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters). According to the maximum output power of the communications equipment, recommended environment for QT ECG is described below, Rated maximum output power of transmitter Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter 150 kHz to 80 MHz d = 1.2 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 1.2 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz d = 2.3 0.01 0.12 0.12 0.23 0.1 0.38 0.38 0.73 1.2 1.2 2.3 10 3.8 3.8 7.3 100 12 12 23 For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer. NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations.
