PREFACE
Design
The ScottCare TeleRehab 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System is designed to
allow monitoring and recording of electrocardiograph (ECG) rhythm strips and related
information for patients undergoing an exercise therapy program. Patients are monitored
via the use of medical telemetry exercise monitoring (TEM) equipment. This feature
allows patients to comply with exercise prescriptions while exercising at a
medical/rehabilitation facility near their home, or by returning to the primary medical
facility to participate in an in-house cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program. The
TeleRehab 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System includes a Program Management
module that provides the means to print reports of exercise sessions, cumulative patient
progress, and compliance.
Intended Use
The ScottCare TeleRehab 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System is intended for use
as a group rhythm strip-monitoring device for remote and/or in hospital cardiac
rehabilitation patients. The system is comprised of the computerized central unit located
at the monitoring site, and the RF or Transtelephonic transmitting equipment being used
by the patient.
The RF transmitting equipment is intended for use by a cardiac rehabilitation patient
enrolled in a group rhythm strip-monitoring program. These transmitters are only to be
used under the instruction and supervision of qualified personnel. Federal law restricts
this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. (Qualified personnel are defined
as hospital or clinical personnel who have received training in the proper application and
use of this equipment).
Diagnostic Use Warning
ScottCare Patient Equipment is designed to amplify and process rhythm strips. The
shape of transmitted ECG waveforms may be affected by body movement causing
intermittent electrode contact or by other factors external to the Transmitter module.
ACCORDINGLY, SCOTTCARE MAKES NO CLAIMS OR WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE
ECG SIGNAL RECEIVED, OR AS TO ITS EFFECTIVENESS AS A DIAGNOSTIC
TOOL.

System Limitations:
The ScottCare TeleRehab Advantage monitoring system is capable of multi tasking,
however, as with all computer systems, there are limitations. Changes to the TeleRehab
Advantage configuration files should not be accomplished if any component of the
system is in use, whether a monitoring terminal or a work station being utilized for use of
the program management applications.
The ScottCare TeleRehab Advantage monitoring system is designed to extensively utilize
the multi tasking capabilities of the Windows XP Professional operating system. As a
result, it is possible that events may occur that cause what appear to be software
anomalies that, in reality, are a result of the interaction between the Advantage system
software and the operating system. Although rare, these idiosyncrasies can be a source of
frustration for the equipment operator.
Examples include:
• When using the mouse and/or touchscreen to provide manipulation of the
Advantage system, it is possible to provide commands via clicking of the
mouse or touching of the touch screen monitor, faster than the system can
respond. In a small number of cases, the operating system will overload
with a backup of input commands producing undesirable results. Although
the software has been ‘hardened’ to ignore commands when too many
commands are backed up, system crashes are still a possibility.
To avoid these undesirable results, one should be patient when
manipulating the Advantage system, and not provide a new command
until the last command has been satisfied.
• It is possible for the interaction between the Advantage software and the
operating system to cause the random discontinuation of the recording of
one or more sessions when monitoring several patients at once. The
Advantage system continuously checks the recording function to verify
that the recording of each session is taking place. When a discontinuation
occurs, the system will provide notification as follows:
If you wish to continue monitoring without recording, left click on the
‘Cancel’ button.

WARNING.PACEMAKER PATIENTS.
Rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac
arrest or some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon rate meter alarms. Keep pacemaker
patients under close surveillance. See this manual for disclosure of the pacemaker pulse
rejection capability of this instrument.
TELEREHAB 2004 MONITORING SYSTEM
Overview
The ScottCare TeleRehab Monitoring System Software is a comprehensive software
package for use on the TeleRehab 2004 computer based cardiopulmonary monitoring
system designed to provide monitoring capability specifically for patients involved in an
exercise schedule prescribed as a part of a cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program.
Monitoring takes place while the patient exercises locally within an exercise facility via
the use of telemetry.
QRS Detection
The TeleRehab 2004 Monitoring System software detects QRS complexes in accordance
with the AAMI standard for Cardiac Monitors, Heart Rate Meters and Alarms (EC-13).
Heart Rate
The TeleRehab™ 2004 Monitoring System software detects the patient heart rate by
counting the QRS complexes detected and displaying a running average of the last four
(4) intervals. Sampling occurs constantly and the display is adjusted with each interval. If
the patient’s heart rate exceeds a prescribed high limit value or drops below a prescribed
low limit value, the QRS complex and rate indication will turn RED and an alarm will
sound to alert the system operator that the rate limit has been violated.
Arrhythmia Detection
Rate related arrhythmias generally create a change in the R-to-R interval that is
detectable by the system. As the Tele-Rehab 2004 Monitoring System software monitors
the interval between QRS complexes, a change in R-to-R interval of greater than 25%
will cause the displayed QRS complex to turn blue and an alarm to sound to alert the
system operator that an event has occurred that might require attention. Rates displayed
while the heart rate indicator is blue will not be accurate heart rates.
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-11-
Artifact
In order for the heart rate detection system and arrhythmia detection systems to perform
at optimum efficiency, artifact must be minimized. Detected intervals that make no sense
to the system will cause the display grid and rate indication to turn orange. Rates
displayed while the display is orange will not be accurate. Some forms of artifact are of a
type that will be detected by the system as potential arrhythmia in which case the QRS
complex will turn blue and a soft alarm will sound giving a false indication of
arrhythmia. Rates displayed while the QRS complex is blue will not be accurate.
Control of Artifact
It is essential that artifact be minimized to keep from interfering with the monitoring of
the exercising patient. Some types of artifact can cause the system to react as though it
were seeing ectopy, and other types cause the system to identify as erroneous, data
generated when artifact is detected. In general, artifact can be controlled. There is always
the patient who generates artifact no matter what you do; however, those are normally
few and far between.
Several parameters can be involved in the production of artifact. Following are some
causes and cures:
Preparation of the Patient - The greatest cause of artifact is inadequate contact between
the patient and the electrodes. This condition is evident when artifact disappears when the
transmitter is attached to a patient simulator where optimum contact is assured. Some
causes of inadequate contact include the use of outdated pre-gelled electrodes where the
conducting medium is dried out, or inadequate preparation of the area where the electrode
is to be placed.
Alcohol is a commonly used means of patient prep. Although alcohol kills bacteria and
cleans the area, alcohol tends to dry out the skin thereby increasing the skins electrical
resistance. Roughing the area by rubbing with a gauze pad or terry cloth towel often helps
to reduce skin resistance when alcohol is to be used as the prep medium.
The best prep is usually done for stress test patients and is normally extensive in that the
skin is severely stressed before application of electrodes.
ScottCare recommends that a commercially available prep medium such as
"Omniprep™" or "Nuprep™" be used with the cardiopulmonary rehab patient. When
adequately prepped, artifact is rarely a problem.
Electrode Position - Often electrodes are placed on the patient’s chest area over the
pectoral muscle and/or over the soft area under the rib cage. Artifact is then created when
the patient exercises due to the contraction of the pectoral muscle.
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-12-
ScottCare recommends that electrodes be placed above the pectoral muscle just under the
clavicle for the right arm and left arm leads, and on the lower rib area for the Left Leg
and/or Right Leg lead. This placement will not normally have a significant effect the
QRS complex but will eliminate motion artifact caused by muscle movement.
Cable Position - Patient Cables are frequently run from the patient transmitter, under the
shirt, to the electrode site. When the lead wires are against the skin, it is possible for
artifact to be introduced due to the rubbing of the wire against the skin during exercise.
ScottCare recommends that wires be run in such a manner as to minimize contact
between the skin and the patient lead wire.
Transmitter/Cable Motion – Transmitters are provided with belt clips and can be worn
on the belt line, placed in a pocket, placed in a pouch, or worn wherever comfortable and
well supported. Transmitters that are not well supported can move about freely which can
create motion artifact.
ScottCare recommends that transmitters be attached to the belt line off the hip to the rear
in order to minimize jostling by the leg during exercise. If a pouch is used, it should be
secured to the patient in a location least susceptible to jarring during exercise such as the
center of the upper chest area.
Out of Range or Low Battery – Depending upon the specific type of transmitter in use,
transmitter range is approximately 100 feet depending upon the environment and what
material is between the transmitter and receiver. If the patient is “out of range” or if the
battery voltage drops below an acceptable level, the QRS signal will be diminished and
may be over written by artifact. Normal battery life is approximately 70 hours. When
artifact appears as though the transmitter is not connected, try changing the battery and
patient lead in that order. If artifact persists, call ScottCare for assistance. Refer to the
section in the service manual regarding the specific transmitter in use for more
information.

Backing up the Database
The “Back up” process is an extremely important function designed to prevent the loss of
information should something occur to the system that causes data to be destroyed or lost.
The system provides a utility to allow the user to define the back up methodology and to
identify the specific data to be backed up or restored from the back up medium.
ScottCare recommends backing your system up at least once each week, preferably every
day.
To access the Backup Utility, click on the ‘Backups’ button to get to the following
‘Backup and Restore Files’ utility:
Backup is designed to take place so that data is saved on a zip disk to expedite the
process, however the utility allows the user to define where backup files are to be saved if
so desired.
Unique back up requirements can be identified with the utility and then saved as a
‘Backup Style’. Clicking on the drop down window under ‘Backup Style’ will provide a
list of saved styles.
Clicking the drop down window under ‘Backup Drive’ will allow selection of the drive
where the backup is to be saved. ScottCare recommends the use of the zip drive.
The area under ‘Groups to Include’ allows identification of which patient or other group
is to be included in the backup process and whether all files need to be backed up or only
changed files. The backup process is not a “snap shot” of the condition of the files at the
time of backup, rather it is a cataloging type of backup. Once something is backed up, it
is not erased, only changed. This process insures that data is available for restoration as
far back as the first time the system was used.
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-50-
The ‘Included Names’ area lists all the names of patients currently in the system.
Individual names can be selected by clicking on the ‘Clear All Checkboxes’ bar and then
checking the names of patients whose data is to be included in the backup.
At installation, a complete backup is accomplished to get the process started. ScottCare
recommends that backups beyond that point include changes only in patient files, and
other lists only if there have been changes. The system control files should be backed up
each time a backup is done.
Clicking on the ‘Do Backup’ bar will cause the system to perform the backup process
based on the selected settings to the selected drive.
Exit this screen by clicking on the x in the upper right corner.

The IP addresses will initially be set at the factory as follows:
The Server IP will be the TCP/IP address of the computer where the server software is
running (must be the same location as the TB directory containing patient files).
The Telemetry Source IP will be the address of the telemetry receiver module.
The Strip Chart IP will be the address of the strip chart recorder.
The Remote Display IP will be the address of the Remote Display.
It should be noted that no IP address will be entered for items not being utilized by the
system.
The System ID Code is pre-defined based on the server application set up. The Full-
Disclosure Path establishes where the full disclosures will be recorded during
monitoring. (The example above shows a folder called “d” on the c: drive). The full
disclosure will be copied to the patient sub-directory in TB at the end of the session, and
it will NOT be erased from the location where it was originally written until the patient is
recorded again. The Local Full-Disclosure Path will initially be set at the factory.
The block near the bottom of the screen displays the IP address of the computer in use.
• Monitoring & Protocol Options
The Monitoring and Protocol Options tab provides entry into the utility that establishes
a set of rules regarding use or non-use of many of the features of the system.
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-57-
The Monitoring Channels section provides a means of setting the number of channels to
be displayed on the monitoring screen. The number can range from 1 to 16.
The Automatically Assign Transmitters box, if checked, causes the system to
sequentially number the individual channels on the screen starting with the channel
number indicated in the ‘First Display Channel Number:’ box.
The Manually Assign Transmitters box, if checked, causes the system to set all channel
numbers to 0, and channel numbers are assigned based on the transmitter being used by a
patient as their names are put on the monitoring screen.
The ‘First Channel Transmitter Number:’ box is used to identify the number of the
first transmitter that will be used with this terminal as defined by the telemetry interface
unit. E.g. if this is the second display of a 12 channel system using a single IP address for
the telemetry interface, the first channel transmitter number would be 6 (provided there
were 6 channels per display). If the telemetry interface only dealt with the second 6
channels, the first channel transmitter number would be 1.
The Digital Transmitters block indicates whether digital or analog transmitters are being
utilized with this system.
The Five Leads block will only be available if the Digital Transmitters block is selected,
and indicates whether the digital transmitters being utilized are configured as 3 wire or 5
wire transmitters. Currently only 3 lead transmitters are employed.
The Display Setting Defaults area determines the speed of the trace and the gain.
Defaults will be set at the factory of a speed equivalent to 25mm/sec and a gain of 1mv.
Options for speed are ½ - equivalent to 25 mm/sec, 1 – equivalent to 50 mm/sec, and ¼ -
equivalent to 12.5 mm/sec. Options for Gain are x1 – 1mv, x2 = 2mv, and x4 = 4mv.
Wave forms cannot be made smaller than 1mv. Only defaults are set here. These features
can also be changed from the monitoring screen.
The Trace area allows selection of whether the display is black trace on a white
background or white trace on a black background. Again, only the default is set in this
area. This display feature can be controlled from the monitoring screen.
The Included Patient Lists area allows the customer to identify which patients are to be
displayed on the monitoring screen for selection for monitoring. This feature can be set
up at the time of installation and can easily be changed by the user.
The Default Alert Sounds area provides a means to have Rate Alarm, Arrhythmia Rate
Alarm, and Overtime audible alarms either on or off. This area sets the default only, both
rate alarm and arrhythmia alarm sounds can be controlled from the monitoring screen.

Exercise Protocols
Exercise protocols are intended as prescriptions, or 'guides' for patient exercise activity
during a session. The exercise prescription portion of the protocol can be printed on the
patient schedule, and normally includes a sequence of exercise events with anticipated
workloads.
The use of exercise protocols is not a mandatory function of the ScottCare 2004 Monitoring
System. Exercise information can be entered manually for each patient as the session
progresses, however the system has the ability to allow the equipment operator to cycle
through a predefined patient exercise protocol for a session if desired.
To use this option, a specific exercise agenda must be indicated for the patient including
specific exercise media, load settings, and times. As the patient moves from one mode to the
next, the equipment operator simply touches 'NEXT' on their monitoring terminal screen to
indicate that the patient has begun the next phase of their exercise regimen. The system will
move the patient to the next exercise medium, calculate and display METS, and start timing
automatically. This automatic cycle can be interrupted with a manual entry at any time if the
assigned protocol is changed during the session.
The 2004 Program Management System allows you to develop generic protocols, or
Protocol Templates, that are stored in the system for use when patients are first entering the
program. Several Protocol Templates can be developed to accommodate patients of various
abilities. Detailed instructions for developing generic protocols can be found under
Generating Protocol Templates below.
A default protocol is automatically assigned to a new patient if no protocol template is
selected. This basic protocol can be altered to develop a unique session protocol for each
patient. Once developed, the system will treat this unique session protocol in the same way
as a protocol template in allowing the equipment operator to cycle through the exercise
agenda during the patient exercise session. Detailed instructions for developing patient
protocols can be found under Session Protocols below.
Defining Modalities and Exercise Devices
A key element in the development of an exercise protocol is the exercise device being
utilized along with an appropriate workload. Several different devices, along with the ability
to calculate MET levels for those devices, have been pre-installed in the 2004 Program
Management System. Additional devices can be added to the list to customize the system to
an individual program.
The utility that maintains both the list of exercise devices available for use within the session
protocols as well as the list of predefined exercise protocols is called the Protocol Template
Editor. This Protocol resource utility is accessible through the TeleRehab 2004 Launcher
Screen as follows:
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-59-
Left click on ‘Utility’ in the upper left corner and select Edit Protocols. The Protocol
Template Editor will appear as follows:
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-60-
The Protocol Template Editor screen is divided into two parts. The right side of the
screen provides access to modalities and exercise devices while protocol templates are
managed on the left.
The Modalities & Exercise Devices section is arranged as follows:
The ‘Modality’ block provides a drop down window listing all of the current exercise
devices available on the system.
The ‘Mode Name’ block provides a means of changing the name of an exercise device.
The ‘Short (4 Char.) Name’ block provides a means of identifying the name of the
exercise device to be used in multi-session reports.
The ‘Device Type’ block provides a drop down window listing the various methods of
displaying workloads and providing METS calculations, if available.
The ‘METS’ and ‘Load’ blocks provide a means of setting default values if you choose
not to include workloads when utilizing the selected device type in a protocol.
Click on the drop down window in the Modality box to see a list of current exercise
modalities. Select a device and note that the information in the ‘Device Type:’ window
will change to display the device type identified for the device selected.
To Add A Device to your program:
At the end of the list of modalities are several items identified as UNUSED MODE. Click
on the first UNUSED MODE on the list.
Click on the ‘Mode Name’ block, and using the keyboard, type in the name of the new
exercise mode. Press the <Enter> key.
Click on the ‘Short (4 Char.) Name’ block, and using the Keyboard, type in the four
character code to be printed on multiple session reports to identify the new exercise
mode. Press the <Enter> key.
Click on the drop down window in the Device Type block. Select the type of device or
method of displaying workload that applies to the new mode. (Note that the Device Type
determines what formula will be used by the system to calculate METS during the
exercise session.)
Click the ‘METS’ block to enter a default value to be used if no workload or MET value
is otherwise entered when this exercise modality is used.
Click the ‘Load’ block to enter a default load value to be used if no workload or MET
value is otherwise entered when this exercise modality is used. Note that there are two
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-61-
blocks identified as ‘Load’. The second block is used when a workload is indicated by
more than one item. E.g. Treadmill uses Speed and Slope, or a Stepper might use Rate
and Height.
Click the ‘Keep Changes’ block to complete the process and save the changes.
NOTE: The list defined by this utility is used on the monitoring terminal to allow
selection of devices while a patient is being monitored. The list displayed on the
monitoring terminal will display items on the list down to (but not including) the FIRST
UNUSED MODE and not beyond. If you modify the list to have an UNUSED MODE in
the middle of your list, the resulting list will not display all available exercise devices for
selection on your monitoring terminal.
NOTE: The list defined by this utility is used by every session report to identify the
exercise devices utilized by a patient during the exercise session. Changing the order in
which exercise devices appear on this list will potentially change some or all session
reports for some or all-patient sessions completed before the change in the list is
implemented.
Changing Any Parameter of a Mode
Click on the drop down window in the ‘Modality’ block and select the modality to be
changed.
If the mode name is to be changed, click on the ‘Mode Name:’ block and use the
keyboard to type in the new mode name. Press the <Enter> key.
If the short name is to be changed, click on the ‘Short (4 Char.) Name’ block and use the
Keyboard to type in the new four character code to be printed on multiple session reports
to identify the exercise mode. Press the <Enter> key.
If the device type is to be changed, click on the drop down window in the ‘Device Type’
block Select the type of device or method of displaying workload that applies to the
mode. (Note that the Device Type determines what formula will be used by the system to
calculate METS during the exercise session).
To change default settings, click on the default value block that is to be changed and
enter the correct information.
WARNING: The accuracy of the entries in this utility will impact directly on data you
will be able to save during a monitoring session. If, for example, you have selected
TREADMILL to have a TYPE of NONCALC, you will not have the option of entering
slope and speed to have the system calculate METS for you.

Displayed Information
A great deal of information is displayed and saved during the monitoring session. Some
of this information is displayed on the screen during the session while other information
is saved for use in various reports. Information is displayed both in the monitoring area
and in the monitoring status line.
The Monitoring Display Area
Once the trace is started and recording is under way, the monitoring display area will
appear as follows:
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-77-
The channel number will be Green to indicate that the channel is being recorded.
• Current Heart Rate. This value is displayed in large numbers between the alarm
indicators and the patient’s name. The heart rate displayed is an 8 beat running
average, and the number is updated approximately every 4 seconds.
• THR (Target Heart Rate). This value will initially be whatever is in the patient file
protocol section. The THR for this session is determined by the format used to define
the patient’s THR. If a whole number is assigned, that number will be identified as
the session THR. If a range is assigned, the entire range is identified as the session
THR, and if rest + a number is assigned, the session THR will be calculated using the
heart rate appearing on the first saved strip. (The system assumes that the first strip
saved is the resting strip).
• BP (Current Blood Pressure Reading). This value will read NA until a blood pressure
is entered for the patient. The most recently entered BP will be displayed in this area.
• METS (Most recent value). This value will read NA until a METS value is either
entered or calculated by the system. The value displayed will be related to the
exercise device being used. The system will automatically calculate and display the
MET value based on the workload settings for the device being used provided the
formula necessary for the calculation is resident in the system. Manually entered
MET values will be accepted and displayed for those devices where no formula is
present or where the formula is not identified for use.
• Below the monitoring window, the word IDLE appears with the first modality
indicated in the patient protocol just to the left. (The example is REST). This
indicates that the session has not yet begun. This area will display the modality in use
along with a timer indicating how long the modality has been in use once a session is
started.
The Monitoring Status Line
The area below the monitoring area (Monitoring Status Line) will display data on the
patient whose channel is selected as defined by the setup of the monitoring status line in
the System Setup Section.
• The RBP (Resting Blood Pressure) is assumed by the system to be the first blood
pressure value entered on a given patient. That value will be displayed unless changed
by the user. (See entering Information While Monitoring below for further
information).
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual
-78-
• RHR (Resting Heart Rate) is assumed by the system to be the heart rate indicated by
the first strip saved on a given patient. That value will be displayed unless changed by
the user. (See entering Information While Monitoring below for further information).
• SpO2 (Blood Oxygen Level) the most recently entered value is displayed.
• RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) the most recently entered value is displayed.
• Cal (Calories) the accumulated number of calories expended based on the work done
for each completed exercise device is displayed.
• Dx (Abbreviated Diagnosis) the abbreviated diagnosis entered into the patient record
is displayed.
• The long line down the center of the status bar displays the current exercise device
information including the device, workload, and time of activity assigned.
• The long line near the bottom of the status bar displays information regarding the next
exercise device expected to be utilized by the patient. If the patient’s exercise
protocol has been interrupted, or no exercise device is assigned following the current
device, NA will be displayed in this area.
• # (Session number) The current session number is displayed.
• The time of day is displayed in the lower right corner of the status bar.
Saving Strips
Rhythm strips can be saved in several different ways.
• A left click on the icon next to the monitoring area will cause the strip chart recorder
to begin printing the displayed rhythm strip. The strip chart recorder will continue to
run until stopped by left clicking a second time on the same icon. The first 6 seconds
of the rhythm strip so saved will be marked for inclusion in the daily session report.
• Double left clicking on the icon next to the monitoring area will cause the strip chart
recorder to print a six second strip. The printed rhythm strip is also identified for
inclusion in the daily session report.
• Touching a strip (if a touchscreen is in use) will cause the system to identify or
‘mark’ the touched strip for inclusion in the daily session report without physically
printing a rhythm strip to the strip chart recorder.
TeleRehab™ 2004 Cardiopulmonary Monitoring System Users Manual

program compliance reports. This area also provides a “Scheduler” that can be used as a
master schedule for all patients.
Daily Schedules
The system monitors each patient file and identifies those patients scheduled each day
when the system is turned on. Phase 2, Pulmonary, and Other patients are automatically
scheduled based on the data entered in their protocol. Phase 3 patients will be scheduled
based on the data entered in their protocol only if they have been identified for
scheduling. See the section on 2004 System Setup, Monitoring and Protocol Options.

how the file is to be constructed. The idea is to create a file that can be imported into
another application by designing the file to meet the specifications of the destination
application.
The file will be saved in the location indicated in the File Destination window. In other
words, all compliance report files will be stored on the C drive of the computer housing
the Server application in a folder identified as ‘CompReps’.
To set up the file name and file name structure, work in the ‘File Name Structure’ area.
