When the patient receives the device, they can power it on by pressing the patient event button for 1 second. After the device boots, they can follow the on-screen instructions to enter the correct PIN (provided separately to the patient). Figure 15 The PIN Code screen. After the PIN has been entered (or if the PIN Code setting was set to 0), the device will indicate that it is ready to monitor and prompts the patient to connect the patient cable to the device. It is recommended that the patient connect all electrodes prior to connecting the cable to the device, as the device will launch a signal quality screen displaying tracings from all channels supported by the cable. The legend at the bottom of the screen may be used to identify which electrode, if any, needs correction. Figure 16 Figure 17 Ready to monitor. Signal quality can be evaluated on this screen.
Revision 1.6 Document No. 15181 Page 14 Operation Monitoring a Study Once a study has been started, the Clarus 40M will silently record ECG data with no intervention from the patient. The patient can wake the display by briefly pressing the patient event button to view a status screen with instructions on how to mark an event. Figure 18 Figure 19 Study progress and event instructions. After an event has been successfully marked. If electrodes become disconnected during the course of a study, the device will notify the patient by beeping and by displaying a message on the screen indicating the correct location of each electrode. The hookup diagram is keyed to the patient cable such that the proper diagram is always displayed, regardless of which patient cable is used. Disconnecting the patient cable from the recorder will stop the recording, should the patient need to remove the electrodes for some reason. The Clarus 40M will continue to record as long as the patient cable is connected, regardless of electrode status. Figure 20 Figure 21 An electrode has been disconnected. The patient cable has been disconnected.
Revision 1.6 Document No. 15181 Page 15 Operation Ending a Study The Clarus 40M will end the study once the pre-configured recording duration is reached.

Revision 1.6 Document No. 15181 Page 25 Wireless Compliance FCC ID: ZIMH40M FCC Compliance Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: —Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. —Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The Clarus 40M contains a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by (manufacturer name) may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment. This device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when worn on the body using the Clarus 40M Plastic Holster (PN: H3R-0027). Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The maximum reported body SAR is 1.06 W/kg per 1 g of tissue. The maximum reported extremity SAR is 1.12 W/kg per 10g of tissue. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless electro-cardiovascular monitor with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the “Display Grant” section of: http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: ZIMH40M.
