Transmitting Using a Standard (Analog) Telephone
Your physician may provide you with instructions to transmit your data to what is called a receiving
center. This may be the physician’s office or it may be a 3
rd
party receiving service. You must contract
with the receiving service prior to transmitting your ECG data. There may be an additional charge for
the transmission of your data. In some cases, it may be reimbursable by your insurance company.
Call the receiving center. Answer all questions asked by the technician. The receiving center will inform
you whether they want to receive only the latest test data or if they want to receive all of the stored
data.
4.4 When directed, press the Black Start button. Hold the recorder’s speaker to the phone mouthpiece.
Note: Use a hard-wired phone whenever possible. Cell phones and cordless phones, due to their
varying signal quality, may provide poor quality transmissions.
If transmitting only the most recent recording:
1.
When directed, hold the recorder’s speaker (see image 4.1) next to the mouthpiece of the
telephone. Press and hold the Black Power button for three (3) seconds or until a single beep is
heard. Release the button. After releasing the button, you will hear a long tone and the BLUE icon
will light.
2.
Be certain you are holding the recorder’s speaker to the mouthpiece of the phone so the receiving
center can hear and interpret the transmitted data.
When the tone stops, the transmission is complete, and the GREEN Light will illuminate. Take the
recorder away from the phone and speak to the receiving center for further instructions. The
AfibAlert® will shut off automatically after 30 seconds.
If transmitting all stored recordings (up to a maximum of 5 recordings):
1.
When directed, hold the recorder’s speaker next to the mouthpiece of the telephone as shown
above. Press and hold the Black Start button for six (6) seconds or until the second beep is heard.
Release the button. After releasing the button, you will hear a long tone and the BLUE icon will light.
You will hear a 45 second tone followed by a brief pause for each test that is transmitted (up to five
tests).
