The NUVANT Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) System is a wearable, wire-
less arrhythmia detection system that is used to aid clinicians in diagnosing 
suspected cardiac arrhythmias.  It consists primarily of the PiiX

®

 wearable 

monitoring device, the zLink

®

 portable data transmission device and a Patient 

Trigger Magnet to enable on-demand collection of ECGs (recordings of heart 
rhythm).  In combination with interpretation services provided by the Corventis 
Monitoring Center, as well as secure online review of data (for prescribing phy-
sicians only), NUVANT MCT enables patient- and physician-friendly arrhythmia 
detection for up to 30 days at a time.       

How NUVANT MCT Works

Once activated, the wearable PiiX sensor continuously monitors the heart and 
automatically collects ECGs when rhythm abnormalities are detected.  Patients 
can also drive collection of ECGs when they experience cardiac symptoms by 
using the Patient Trigger Magnet.  Data are automatically transmitted from the 
PiiX to the zLink, which then automatically transmits the data to the Corventis 
Monitoring Center.  Certified cardiographic technicians at the Corventis 
Monitoring Center review received data and document symptoms reported 
by patients.  Clinical reports, prepared by the Corventis Monitoring Center, 
are delivered and made available at www.corventis.com to provide data to 
prescribing physicians for the diagnosis and identification of various clinical 
conditions, events and/or trends.  Prescribing physicians may also be contacted 
by the Corventis Monitoring Center directly when arrhythmias that meet pre-
defined criteria are detected.

IMPORTANT:

•  The NUVANT MCT System is not intended to be an alarm or to 

alert patients or physicians, and will not summon emergency 
response in the event help is needed.

•  The NUVANT MCT System is not intended to replace direct com-

munication with healthcare providers.

•  Data provided by the system should be used by physicians along 

with all other clinical findings and exams to come to a diagnosis. 

•  Patients should talk to their healthcare provider immediately if 

there are any concerns or if their condition changes.
