Beat2Phone ECG Instruction Manual
3.2
Warnings
The Beat2Phone ECG is only intended for adult users. Do not use it for chil-
dren.
The charging connector may not be used inside the patient area (within 1.5 m
around the patient) in institutional care facilities. Users of the charging con-
nector must be conscious, aware, and in adequate physical and mental con-
dition for operating the device.
Use the electrode strap only on healthy skin. Do not use the device if skin un-
der the electrode strap is damaged, irritated, sensitive or susceptible to aller-
gic reactions. The electrodes will place stress on the skin. This can cause irri-
tation and delay healing of the skin.
If the use of the electrode strap causes skin irritation, stop using the strap
and contact a medical professional for advice.
Do not attempt self-diagnosis based on device recordings. Always seek pro-
fessional medical advice before acting on any results.
Do not immerse the device in water. The VitalSignum charging connector is
not waterproof. Immersion in water is detrimental to device lifetime.
Do not charge the sensor battery in temperatures below 0 degrees or above
40 degrees Celsius.
Do not place the sensor in microwave appliances or near them to avoid dam-
aging the battery.
Do not use the device with a defibrillator, as a high voltage pulse will be detri-
mental to sensor lifetime. The device is not defibrillation-proof.
The sensor includes a Bluetooth BLE 5.0 radio transmitter. Do not use it in
environments with special restrictions on electronic device radio emission.
Avoid proximity with interfering devices.
Do not use the Beat2Phone device during an MRI scan or in a location where
it will be exposed to strong electromagnetic fields.
Do not connect the Beat2Phone device or accessories to any device or ac-
cessory other than those specified in this instruction manual.
Do not place the Beat2Phone sensor within 3 centimeters of a pacemaker.
The sensor contains a magnet. Pacemakers may go into asynchronous mode
in the presence of strong magnetic fields.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be
avoided, as this can result in improper operation. If such use is necessary,
this equipment and the other equipment used should be closely observed to
verify normal operation.
Do not use this device near other devices that operate on the 385 MHz fre-
quency. This frequency causes interference with ECG measurement.
Portable RF communication equipment (including peripherals, such as an-
tenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm
(12 inches) from any part of the Beat2Phone ECG, including cables specified
by the manufacturer. Otherwise, the performance of this equipment could be
degraded.
No modification of this device is allowed.
Do not use the device in an environment where the oxygen level is 40% or
higher, or in presence of flammable gases.
Do not touch the charging connector pins.
Do not use the charging connector if it is wet.
