Getting Started 

The  myCordella™  Patient  Reader  will  automatically  pair  with  the 

myCordella  Hub  on  start-up.  No  additional  user  input  is  required. 
Upon return home with the myCordella Reader and Docking Station, 
connect  the  Docking  Station  Power  Cord  to  the  power  port  on  the 
back of the  Docking  Station and the other end  into the  wall outlet. 
Place the Docking Station on a flat surface near the myCordella Hub 
with  a  minimum  two-inch/five-centimeter  clearance  from 
surrounding objects or walls.  

Place the Reader in the Docking Station. The LED light on the front of 
the Docking Station will blink while charging and change to solid white 
when  the  Reader  is  charged.  Call  Endotronix  customer  service  if  this 
does not occur within 24 hours of setup. 

The Reader is distributed in Travel Mode.

 

Start the Reader for the first 

time by holding the travel button on the bottom for several seconds. 

Reader Placement 

Reliably and repeatedly finding proper Reader location is essential to 
collecting valid PA pressure measurements.  

Position the Reader on the prescribed 
location  (from  training),  most  likely 
the upper right chest. A clinician may 
indicate  that  the  Reader  should  be 
placed  in  a  different  location

for 

example on the side of the body. The 
Reader  will  wait  for  good  signal 
strength before gathering information 
from the Sensor, so adjust the position 

until  the  Reader  plays  the  “

Sensor 

Located

”  tone  and  displays  a  quickly 

flashing  blue  light  (see  the  Audio  & 
Visual Cues section below).
