Patient instructions, handling of the device
The recording period selected should be as normal as possible (not a holiday, no
out-of-the-ordinary events).
The devices must also be worn during the night. If the custo watch is taken off,
ensure that it is always in radio range of the ECG transmitter. An active connection
exists when the radio symbol is shown on the custo watch display.
No x-rays must be taken on the day of recording. Other electrical appliances
(e.g mobile phones) may affect the quality of the recording.
The devices must be protected against extreme cold, heat, moisture, dirt and
mechanical impact.
No showers, no visits to the swimming pool and sauna.
If the ECG transmitter is detached from the electrode belt during recording, it must
be ensured that the ECG transmitter is aligned correctly when it is reattached:
custo guard “R” – custo belt red snap fastener, custo guard “3” – custo belt green
snap fastener, custo guard “L” – custo belt yellow snap fastener
A custo belt electrode belt stretches after prolonged wear, due to moisture (sweat).
The custo belt should be re-tensioned after some time so that it rests firmly against
the upper body again and to ensure the ECG is of adequate quality.
ECG cable custo guard 3: If electrodes peel off during recording, they must be
reattached. Otherwise the ECG recording is not possible. The patient should contact
the physicians practice for reattachment.
The patient is able to set markers during the ECG recording, for example if feeling
unwell, in cases of stress or at special events. The reason for a marker can be regis-
tered in the patient diary. Instruct the patient how to use the custo watch Marker
button. Setting a marker:
Switch on the custo watch display by briefly pressing the grey button
Pressing the button again activates the Mark? query
Pressing the button again sets the marker, message Marked
Pressing the button again confirms the action and hides the message Marked
CAUTION:
The custo belt and the neck strap must be kept away from children due to risk
of strangulation. Small parts must be kept away from children due to risk of
suffocation.
In the case of known allergies, e.g. against substances in the adhesive elec-
trodes or custo belt, the further procedure must be agreed with a doctor
before the recording.
