• The patient must stay within 2 meters (6 feet) of the recorder during the study
except, as necessary, for bathing. The recorder is not water resistant and should
not be worn in the shower or in other wet environments.
• When resting or lying down, place the recorder on a night stand near the bed, the
buttons turned toward the patient both for convenience of reaching it for
possible symptom recording as well as for optimal reception.
• If a night stand is not near the bed, the patient should clip the recorder to the
pillow, making sure the buttons face the patient.
• If the recorder is too far from the capsule, it beeps for up to 30 seconds and the
capsule number icon disappears from the screen (
for single-capsule
procedures, for double-capsule procedures). This indicates that the
transmission from the capsule to the recorder has been interrupted. The patient
should hold the recorder on the chest until
or
appears.
• This beep can also occur if there are other electronic or electrical devices
operating at the same frequencies as the recorder. Instruct the patient to move
away from these other devices; if the capsule number icon appears, the problem
was caused by interference from another device.
• Instruct the patient to contact the doctor if or
disappears from the
recorder screen or if there are any problems or questions during the study.
7. Place the recorder in the case and show the patient how to adjust the shoulder strap.
8. Instruct the patient about what to expect when the capsule detaches.
9. Instruct the patient to return the recorder at the completion of the study.
Warning
The recorder must be worn over clothing.
If wearing the recorder with the shoulder strap, the patient must stay
clear of moving equipment or machines that are potentially hazardous.
If the strap becomes entangled with a moving part, it could cause the
patient to be pulled into a dangerous position. This could result in
possible patient injury.
Do not allow children to wear or play with the recorder shoulder strap
either with or without the case. It is intended only for the prescribed use
by an adult. Use of the shoulder strap by a child could result in possible
injury. Instead, it is recommended to use the belt clip for children.
