Replace the VitalPatch biosensor if any of the following occurs:
•
The biosensor does not reconnect after several minutes.
•
The “VitalPatch Off” message continues.
•
The biosensor cannot be reapplied by pressing down to re-adhere.
•
The biosensor partially or completely falls off the skin.
If replacing the biosensor, select
Disconnect Patch.
See “When Monitoring is Complete” on page 14 for
more information. Follow the connection and calibration steps as described in this document to begin
monitoring with the new biosensor.
If the VitalPatch biosensor will be exposed to conditions where lifting and patch-off may occur, an optional
adhesive overlay may be applied over the biosensor to help keep the biosensor attached to the skin.
Refer to IFU-09,
VitalPatch Adhesive Overlay Instructions for Use
. Use only the approved adhesive
overlay product described in IFU-09. The use of other adhesives or tape is not recommended and will
prevent proper operation of the biosensor and will void the warranty of the biosensor. The adhesive
overlay should not be used if the biosensor has already lifted off the skin. It may be used if the biosensor
begins to peel up at the edges but has not lost contact with the skin.
Message “VitalPatch Not Connected”
This message indicates that the VitalPatch
biosensor is out of range and/or has lost
Bluetooth connection. If disconnection was
intentional, select
Disconnect Patch
to end the
monitoring session.
To continue the session, check that the
biosensor is within Bluetooth connection range,
select
Wait for Reconnect
. Wait for up to one
minute for the biosensor to automatically
reconnect.
When biosensor returns within range of the
tablet, it will automatically reconnect to the
VistaPoint app.
The “VitalPatch Not Connected” message may
also be cleared by choosing to proceed with
steps for manual re-connection by selecting
Disconnect
Patch
. Then, select
Connect
from the Connect screen. Repeat the connection process to
connect to the biosensor and calibrate posture (see “Pairing VitalPatch to VistaPoint” on page 7).
Note:
If the biosensor disconnects unexpectedly (for example, if biosensor moves out of range of the
relay device), the acquired biosensor data will save locally to the biosensor’s memory for up to 10 hours.
Upon reconnection to the relay device, this saved data will automatically transfer to the relay device.
