Subject ROG Thresholds The BioHarness module outputs a subject status indication which has the values:   Green – subject’s physiological parameters are within thresholds as configured   Orange – one or more of the subject’s parameters have crossed the configured threshold values. The subject’s data should be monitored more closely.   Red – one or more of the subject’s parameters have exceeded threshold values for a sustained period (configurable). The subject’s physiological parameters should be monitored closely, and confirmation sought if there is an indication of stress, fatigue or trauma.  ROG THRESHOLD AND ALERT STATE LOGIC  Subject Status is determined by analyzing Heart Rate, Breathing Rate and Activity level values, calculated over a 5 second rolling average. Activity level is measured by an accelerometer within the BioHarness Device. Parameters are determined to be LOW or HIGH according to the following thresholds:    If any of the subject’s parameter’s above cross from the NORMAL (Green) zone to LOW or HIGH values (Orange/amber or Red), then the subject’s state may be raised from Normal to Alert, according to the logic table following.   The default numerical values for the thresholds are set automatically and need not be changed for normal operation.

Each line in the table represents one permutation of parameters which generate an Alert state.  ROG Alert Logic Table Heart Rate Breathing Rate Activity Level State NORMAL NORMAL NORMAL No Alert LOW   Alert  LOW  Alert HIGH  NOT HIGH Alert  HIGH NOT HIGH Alert  The following logic is then applied:  Status Green   +   Alert for 5 seconds   =   Status Orange Status Orange   +   Alert for 55 seconds   =   Status Red  Status Red  +  No Alert for 5 seconds  =  Status Orange Status Orange  +  No Alert for 5 seconds  =  Status Green  A No Alert State for 5 seconds will reduce State from Red to Orange, or Orange to Green.    The time intervals shown above are also configurable. The values indicated are the default values:  Green + 5 seconds Alert = Orange > Green to Orange Time Orange + 55 seconds Alert = Red > Orange to Red Time.  3.4.6.

Fit BioHarness Module to Strap  The BioHarness Module attaches to the chest strap by insertion into a custom receptacle. A cutout on the top edge of the device allows for finger leverage to remove from the receptacle, and a ridge in the receptacle and matching groove in the device itself prevent improper insertion.  Three metal rivets locate through the receptacle and form conductive paths to the ECG and breathing sensors. These rivets make contact with alloy spring contacts on the rear of the BioHarness module.  Check the springs for contamination before attaching the module.

Fit Strap to Subject  In order that the BioHarness Module may perform as it was designed, the chest strap must be fitted in the correct location, with an appropriate level of tension around the subject’s torso.    1.  For optimum performance, lightly moisten the sensor  pad surfaces with water to aid conductivity. Press the  water into the pad if beading on the surface occurs.           2.  To adjust tension, wear the strap with the main  attachment hook and tension slider adjuster initially at  the front.  3.  The strap should be a snug fit, so as not to move when the subject is active. A tension loop is sewn at the rear of the strap. When the subject has inhaled and the chest fully expanded, the tension loop should be flush with the main strap – it is shown un-tensioned in the image.  4.  When size is adjusted, rotate the strap so that the device is located under the subject’s left armpit, with Zephyr brand label at the front – the brand label may not be exact centre.      5.  When correctly located, a line through the centre of the device should be directly beneath the subject’s  arm pit, or slightly (~1/2”) to the rear

Interpretation of Data  The BioHarness Bluetooth device intended use is to provide contextual remote physiological information. It should be used as an aid in the diagnostic process.  The device may indicate that a subject parameter is outside an acceptable range of values. Interpretation of such indication should be informed by one or more of the following:   Knowledge of the subject’s underlying physiological condition e.g. level of fitness, abnormal blood pressure etc   Pre-existing medical or physiological conditions e.g. fatigue, dehydration, infection, trauma   Environmental Factors such as heat, humidity etc, or mechanical or motion factors which may affect activity data   Subject level of activity and any other circumstance which may lead to stress or fatigue such as fear, lack of sleep, etc.  Departure of heart rate, breathing rate or activity level from an acceptable range of values may or may not cause the subject’s Red / Orange / Green Status indication to alter. This will depend on the values which have been assigned to the subject’s ROG thresholds stored in the device. These values may be occupational or activity-dependent.  In addition, the following factors may affect individual physiological parameter readings:  4.1.  Heart Rate Indication Possible Cause Low Heart Rate Excessive noise caused by sensor/skin relative movement and/or poor conductivity between the skin surface and the sensor. Adjustment of the chest strap tension for the correct fit, and moistening of the sensor surfaces with water will address this issue in most cases. High Heart Rate As above.  4.2.  Breathing Rate Indication Possible Cause Low Breathing Rate Incorrect tension on the chest strap may prevent adequate sensor response to chest expansion and contraction. If the strap is too loose, it may not respond the chest expansion – if too tight, it may not respond to chest contraction.  Individual subject breathing characteristics which are predominantly diaphragmatic, as opposed to apical breathing. High Breathing Rate Direct palpitation of the breathing sensor location from an external source which mimics the cyclical breathing action. This may be due to the regular movement of any object which can apply direct external pressure to the sensor such as equipment components or webbing.

Skin Temperature Indication Possible Cause Minus 3276.8°C A skin temperature channel in the general transmitted packet and log format exists in order to maintain reverse compatibility with earlier versions of Zephyr application software. However the BioHarness 3.0 always returns an ‘Invalid’ value of -3276.8 °C for this parameter. The BioHarness 3 does not support the Skin Temperature channel. 4.4.  Activity Level Indication Possible Cause Erroneous high activity level Internal accelerometers measure absolute movement of the device. If a subject is inactive, but in an environment which exerts forces on the device e.g. almost any mode of transport, then indicated activity level will reflect the motion of the vehicle rather than the subject
