Beat2Phone ECG Instruction Manual
Using non-original cables and accessories may negatively affect EMC perfor-
mance, expected sensor lifetime, and accuracy of the ECG registration.
Do not connect the charger to an additional multiple-socket outlet or exten-
sion cord.
The charging connector cable can cause asphyxiation if improperly used.
Users may be exposed to very small amounts of nickel from the electrode
strap snap connectors which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive users.
Do not place the charging cable or the electrode strap around your neck to
avoid risk of asphyxiation.
The transfer of recordings from a sensor to a mobile device is temporarily
stopped when receiving phone calls. Occasionally, the transfer process may
be cancelled altogether and must be restarted.

Safety Precautions
Before using the Beat2Phone Sensor, read through this manual carefully. Al-
ways keep it at hand for easy reference to ensure successful and meaningful
ECG registrations.
Do not leave the sensor in reach of small children or pets, as the sensor is
small enough to be swallowed. The sensor getting stuck in a person’s throat
can block airflow to the lungs and result in asphyxiation.
Do not use, place or store the sensor in extreme environmental conditions, in
a shower or under water, or at temperatures of higher than 60 or lower than –
20 degrees Celsius. This can damage the battery and cause the sensor to
malfunction.
Do not use the device at an altitude of higher than 2000 m. The electrical
safety of the device is not guaranteed in low air pressure.
Take precaution when using the device less than 1,5 km from AM/FM or TV
broadcast antennas.
Do not disassemble or try to repair or modify the sensor or its accessories. A
device that has been tampered with cannot be relied on for accurate ECG
registrations, and any data recorded by such a device is not suitable for
drawing any meaningful conclusions by a medical professional.
Do not use the device if it is damaged. Damaged devices cannot be relied on
for accurate ECG registration data, and any such recordings must not be
used for drawing any meaningful conclusions by a medical professional.
Medical electrical equipment or electrical stimulators attached to a patient
may degrade the Beat2Phone sensor’s signal quality or lead to erroneous
readings from the biosensor. Any potential interactions between other equip-
ment must be evaluated and authorized by a responsible organization before
such use.
To ensure good skin contact for the electrodes, always firmly attach the clean
electrode strap on clean, bare skin. Poor electrode contact will degrade
measurement accuracy and may lead to loss of important ECG registration
details which medical professionals need to draw accurate conclusions based
on the data.
Remember to nourish the skin that comes in contact with the electrodes and
remove the electrode strap between ECG registrations to let the skin rest to
avoid skin irritation due to prolonged exposure to the electrodes.
Contact the manufacturer if there are changes in the performance of the de-
vice.
Keep the mobile device away from unauthorized persons to protect your per-
sonal health data.
