Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PiiX?
A PiiX is a patient-worn medical device designed to comfortably adhere to the
skin. The device contains sensors that collect your ECG waveform (a tool for
analyzing the activity of your heart).
How long will my PiiX last?
Each PiiX device is designed to last up to 7.5 days (unless the memory fills up
beforehand). However, inappropriate PiiX application, or removal and reappli-
cation of the PiiX during use, will affect monitoring. If this happens, you may
be required to use another PiiX.
What information is transmitted to my physician?
Your heart activity is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Any unusual
heart activity is recorded, and transmitted for review to your physician.
What do I do when I feel symptoms?
Whenever symptoms occur, trigger the PiiX to record your heart activity by us-
ing the Patient Trigger Magnet (provided). Swipe the magnet along the entire
length of the PiiX, once, at a uniform rate. An ECG will be collected by the
PiiX, transmitted to the zLink and then transmitted to the Corventis Monitor-
ing Center for review and delivery to your physician.
How can I report my symptoms?
Technicians from Corventis will occasionally call you to discuss your symptoms.
Please make note of the type of symptoms, the duration of symptoms, when
they happened and what you were doing so it can be discussed with a techni-
cian.
Should I keep the Patient Trigger Magnet with me at all times?
Yes, you should always carry the Patient Trigger Magnet with you. Please keep
the Patient Trigger Magnet away from your credit cards or identity cards as
the magnet may erase them. Also, please do not place the Patient Trigger
Magnet in a shirt pocket or on a necklace, as that might cause unnecessary
ECG collection.
Can I take a shower while wearing my PiiX?
Yes, the PiiX is water resistant so you can shower while wearing it. However,
do NOT submerge PiiX in water by swimming or sitting in a hot tub. In addi-
tion, avoid excessive rubbing of the PiiX during showering.
Should I carry the zLink with me when I travel?
Yes, take zLink with you at all times. zLink will remain charged for up to 12
hours. If you plan to be away for longer than 12 hours, take the zLink charger
with you.
Will I need to change the battery in the zLink or the PiiX?
Battery replacement is not required for the PiiX and the zLink. However, we
recommend that you charge the zLink every night.
How close must I be to zLink to ensure that the data collected by my
PiiX are transmitted?
Remain within 30 feet (9 meters) of zLink for successful data transmission.
How often do I need to change the PiiX device?
When both of the following two symbols and appear on the PiiX
display, you should remove PiiX. Please apply a new PiiX if your monitoring
period has not ended.
