15 Detailed Monitor Information The Monitor: Battery-operated ambulatory electrocardiograph recorder for use in cellular event monitoring or mobile cardiovascular telemetry monitoring capable of storing three channels of patient ECG data acquired from three or five surface electrodes adhered to the body. Can record data for over 30 days of continuous recording with a rechargeable lithiumion battery to achieve such an extended recording duration. Can automatically detect and record pacemaker pulses as well as several common arrhythmias in accordance with the appilicable standards of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. Contains an internal cellular modem to allow access to the patient ECG data. Any piece of data recording on the device may be queried wirelessly during the course of the study. Additionally, data transmissions may be triggered automatically or manually as a result of arrhythmia analysis or manual patient input, respectively. Provides a multitude of options to control recording parameters, such as bit resolution, sample resolution, sampling rate, and frequency response; also provides analysis parameters, such as heart rate thresholds. These settings may be updated wirelessly during the course of a study to allow the device to dynamically adapt to the needs of the operator. Does not provide interpretive or diagnostic statements. Interpretation and diagnosis are the responsibilities of a trained healthcare professional or physician. Indications for Use: The monitor is intended tor acquiring ambulatory ECG signals from patients who are either at risk of, or have, cardiac disease, or have intermittent symptoms indicative of cardiac disease who have demonstrated a need to be monitored on a continuing basis. Indications for conducting ambulatory recording including patients requiring monitoring for: Non life-threatening arrhythmias such as supraventricular tachycaridas and ventricular ectopy. Evaluation of bradyarrhythmias and intermittent bundle branch block, including after cardicvascular surgery and myocardial infarction. Arrhythmias associated with co-morbid conditions such as hyperthyroidism or chronic lung disease. Experiencing symptoms such as syncope of unknown etiology or shortness of breath, which may be due to cardiac arrhythmias. Palpitations with or without unknown arrhythmias to obtain correlation of arrhythmias with symptoms. The effects of drugs to control ventricular rate in atrial arrhythmias. Recovering from cardiac surgery when they are indicated for outpatient arrhythmia monitoring. With diagnosed sleep disordered breathing including sleep apnea (obstructive central) to evaluate possible nocturnal arrhythmias. Arrhythmia evaluation of etiology or stroke or transient cerebral ischemia, possibly secondary to atrial fibrillation or flutter. Data from this device may be used by another device to analyze, measure, or report QT interval. The device is not intended to sound any alarms for QT interval changes.

16 Contraindications: The monitor is not intended for use under the following contidions: Infants weighing less than 10 kg. (22 lbs.) Patients with potentially life-threatening arrhythmias who require inpatient monitoring. Patients who the attending physician thinks should be hospitalized. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ID: ZIMTZMR FCC Compliance Statement The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. This wireless electro-cardiovascular monitor has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65C (01-01) and found to be compliant to the requirements of uncontrolled environmental limits as set forth in CFR 47 Sections , addressing RF exposure from radio frequency when operated in accordance with the operation guidelines described in this manual. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions of this publication will result in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits. The monitor contains a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to 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 measurementknown 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. This device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when worn on the body using the monitor s leather carrying case. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The highest reported SAR value for this body-worn device is: 0.799W/kg. 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: after searching on FCC ID: ZIMTZMR 16
