Patient Operation of the Dx–pH Measurement System™
The Dx–pH Measurement System ™ was designed with patient convenience and ease of
use as two of its foremost concerns. The patient is responsible for pressing event buttons,
keeping a diary, and following the physician’s instructions.
Before the patient is sent home, the following instructions must be emphasized along with
the regular patient instructions (attachment B):
•
How to keep a written diary. For analysis, information about episodes of pain and
episodes of cough, supine periods, and meal periods is needed and is very
important. (See attachment B)
•
How and when to use the event keys. Take care to emphasize the importance of
pressing the
Heartburn key immediately when chest pain is felt, as well as the
other symptom buttons to ensure an accurate analysis.
•
Not to bathe/shower with the Dx–Recorder™ or Dx–Transmitter™ or expose them
to water; they are not waterproof, only water resistant.
•
To keep the Recorder within a reasonable distance to avoid data loss.
