Patient User Guide: LifeWatch MCT 3L
Intended Use Intended Use
The MCT 3L (CG-6108 ACT-3L) Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is intended for use by patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest cardiac arrhythmia. The device continuously monitors patient ECG, automatically generates an alert triggered by an arrhythmia detection algorithm, or generates an alert manually triggered by the patient, and transmits the recorded data transtelephonically to a monitoring center. The monitoring center provides the ECG data to the medical practitioner for evaluation. The MCT 3L (CG-6108 ACT-3L) Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is intended to be prescribed for patients who have demonstrated a need for cardiac monitoring and are at low risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias. Conditions where the system should not be used include patients likely to experience primary ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) and patients who have other co-morbid cardiovascular conditions where an arrhythmia could be potentially life threatening. The device has been validated for use on patients six years of age and older.
Description of Device (Overview)
This section describes the LifeWatch MCT 3L device and regimen. Figure 1 Sensor (A), Monitor (B).
A
B or
The LifeWatch MCT 3L is used in conjunction with a monitoring service that reviews the recorded transmissions and provides that information to the physician for a final diagnostic interpretation. The LifeWatch MCT 3L is not intended for use as an emergency response system for patients who may experience life-threatening arrhythmias.
Patient User Guide: LifeWatch MCT 3L
Page 4 of 66
Description of Device (Overview) The following list represents patient populations for whom use of the LifeWatch MCT 3L is most appropriate. This list should be used in conjunction with Medicare and other payor medical necessity guidelines:
Patients with dizziness or lightheadedness.
Patients with palpitations.
Patients with syncope of unknown etiology.
Patients who require monitoring for non-life-threatening arrhythmias, such as Atrial Fibrillation, Supra-ventricular Arrhythmias, evaluation of various Brady arrhythmias. This includes post-operative monitoring for these rhythms. Patients recovering from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery who require monitoring for arrhythmias. Patients requiring monitoring for arrhythmias-including co-morbid conditions such as hyperthyroidism or chronic lung disease. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea to evaluate possible nocturnal arrhythmias. Patients requiring arrhythmia evaluation for etiology of stroke or transient cerebral ischemia, possibly secondary to Atrial Fibrillation.
To use the LifeWatch MCT 3L monitoring system, the patient or primary care provider must be able to perform all of the following:
Understand the principle of operation and system messages described in this manual.
Place the sensor and electrodes on the chest.
Operate a handheld device (Monitor).

About the Equipment Monitor
The Monitor, Figure 2 and Figure 3, receives ECG data from the sensor via Bluetooth and can store up to 30 days of data. The Monitor has a special application that converts the raw ECG data and sends it using a cellular network to the monitoring center for interpretation. LifeWatch supports two models of Monitors -- the Universal Gateway and the Brigadier. One of these models are included in the kit. Figure 2 Universal Gateway Monitor provided with kit.
Figure 3 Brigadier Monitor provided with kit.
Sensor
The sensor, Figure 4, records and transmits data to the Monitor. It can hold up to six hours of data in its memory. This means that if a patient is away from the Monitor and wearing the sensor, the data is still being recorded. Once the patient is within an unobstructed 10 meters (30 feet) of the Monitor (closer the better), the data will start to be transmitted to the Monitor.
Patient User Guide: LifeWatch MCT 3L

Patient User Guide: LifeWatch MCT 3L
Technical Specifications Technical This sections describes the technical specifications of the Specifications systems and components of the LifeWatch MCT 3L. Monitor
The Monitor runs a proprietary application that is configured to process ECG recordings and transmit via a cellular network. The Monitor detects and stores physiological events in internal memory. When a physiological event is detected, the Monitor transmits the recorded ECG automatically via cellular link to a monitoring center for professional analysis. If the patient is out of the cellular network coverage area, the Monitor will send all events that were stored when the cellular link is re-established.
Sensor
The sensor houses a 3.6V AA lithium-thionyl chloride battery, an ECG channel circuit, an impedance measurement circuit, a pacemaker detection circuit, a flash buffer memory, a Bluetooth transceiver, and a buzzer. The ECG signals are received, filtered, and amplified in the input circuit, stored in the flash memory buffer, and transmitted via Bluetooth to the Monitor. The sensor loops up to 6 hours of ECG data into a cyclic buffer (internal flash memory) to preserve the ECG during instances when the Bluetooth link to the Monitor is down.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that enables the sensor and Monitor to communicate with each other. The LifeWatch MCT 3L system uses Bluetooth technology to transmit ECG data from the sensor to the Monitor. The Monitor internal Bluetooth component is on and running continuously (24 hours a day) for the entire monitoring period; therefore, the Monitor must be ON at all times. For optimal system performance, the recommended distances between the Monitor and sensor during the monitoring period should be as follows: „
Normal operation: Within 50 cm (20 inches).
„
During Monitor charging: Within three meters (ten feet).

Technical Specifications FCC HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) REGULATIONS FOR WIRELESS DEVICES On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. M-Ratings: With the LifeWatch MCT 3L, both the Brigadier and Universal Gateway Monitors are rated M4. Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: With the LifeWatch MCT 3L, the Brigadier Monitor is rated T3 and the Universal Gateway Monitor is rated T4. Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid's tele coil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered appropriate for best use. If the instructions above do not help you achieve satisfactory simultaneous LifeWatch MCT 3L and hearing aid use, we recommend that you consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

This section describes the calculations of the LifeWatch MCT 3L system. HEART RATE (HR) CALCULATION METHOD The HR is found by averaging eight consequent RR intervals. The momentary HR is the inverse of the time lasting between two consecutive heart beats. As the momentary HR fluctuates due to inaccuracies in detecting the exact R wave timing eight momentary HR values are averaged to generate the displayed HR; therefore the reported HR is the mean of the last momentary HR values WHICH CORRESPOND TO THE DETECTED R COMPLEXES FOR THE LAST 8 SECONDS. PAUSE CALCULATION Pause is considered a lack of Ventricular activity for more than three seconds. In order to detect a pause, one of two conditions needs to be detected: „ „
Lack of QRS detection for more than three seconds. A flat signal (P complexes can occur) for slightly less than three seconds.
Once one of the above conditions is detected, a pause event is sent to the remote monitoring center. Page 59 of 66
