The PM 100 device is a two-channel cardiac event recorder for transmit- ting multiple event recordings via cellular telephony net- works to a com- patible receiving system, such as ReSTA from GETEMED. The device is intended for patient activated recordings.
The device is not indicated for patients with an implanted cardiac pace- maker or ICD. Mode of Operation The patient places the device on his chest and activates the recording by pressing the button. The device records short ECG strips and transfers them to a central receiving system.
2 Regulatory Compliance and Labeling Regulatory Compliance The CE Mark and Notified Body Registration Number signifies the device including accessories meets all essential requirements of the Medical De- vice Directive 93/42/EEC. The CE Mark signifies the device including accessories meets all essential requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU.

3 Safety and Reliability Definitions The terms “warning” and “caution” are used throughout this manual to point out hazards and to designate a degree or level of seriousness. Famil- iarize yourself with their definitions and significance. Hazard is defined as a source of potential injury to a person. WARNING indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
General Warnings WARNING MIXING UP RECORDINGS– The patient’s life or health may be put at risk if the patient is assigned a different patient’s ECG recording thus resulting in an incorrectly assigned diagnosis. Take special care to always select the correct examination and the correct patient.
WARNING NOT A MONITORING DEVICE – The PhysioMem PM 100 recorder is not a monitoring device and is not intended for monitoring the clini- cal condi- tion of a patient. Do NOT use the PhysioMem as a monitoring device. WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD –...

CAUTION Switch off the device in locations where the use of mobile network de- vices is totally or at times forbidden (e.g., intensive care unit, plane). CAUTION The temperature of the recorder must not go below 5 °C or above 45 °C. Do not expose the device to sudden temperature or humidity changes.
CAUTION Repairs must be carried out only by persons authorized by GETEMED. If you find or even suspect a malfunction, send the device for testing to GETEMED or a facility authorized by GETEMED. Please add a detailed description of the observed malfunction.
Use cleaning and disinfection agents only in accordance with the manu- facturers instructions. E sure to use the correct dilution factor. GETEMED recommends disinfecting the device with a 70% alcohol solution. CAUTION Do not use solvents such as ether, acetone, or petroleum ether; such sub- stances can damage the plastic of the device's housing.
▪ Assembly operations, extensions, readjustments, modifications, or re- pairs are carried out by persons authorized by GETEMED. ▪ PhysioMem 100 is used and stored in accordance with the infor- mation given in this manual.
4 Control Elements, Putting into Operation Control Elements Fig. 3. Button and display 1 Button for switching on and off and for starting a recording 2 Display for the indication of operating modes and error codes The four electrodes for the ECG lead are positioned on the back (Fig. 4) of the recorder.
Fig. 4. Back of the recorder with electrodes Putting into Operation, Fully Charging the Battery NOTE If the ambient temperature is lower than 0 °C, the device should not be charged. The device has a built-in rechargeable battery, which is charged by induc- tive coupling with the charging pad.
Page 21
Fig. 5. PhysioMem on the charging pad To position the PhysioMem properly, use the indentations on the charging pad and place the recorder's electrodes into these indenta- tions. After the PhysioMem has been switched on, the display of the PhysioMem and an LED on the charging pad show that the battery is being charged (see the table in section 7.1, page 35) The green LED is lit as soon as the charging pad is connected to the power supply system.
Page 22
If the orange LED flashes after the PhysioMem has been placed on the charging pad, an error with the charging process has occurred. In this case, disconnect the charging pad from the power supply and reconnect If the orange LED continues to flash, inform the service of GETEMED. ® PhysioMem...

NOTE Even during charging, you can take the device from the charging pad and use it for a recording. NOTE If you put the PhysioMem on the charging pad while the battery has al- ready been fully charged to 100 %, the double beep does not sound and the orange LED is not lit.
Page 24
NOTE If the battery power is too low for using the device, this is indicated in the display (Fig. 11) when a recording is started. Fig. 11. Indication of insufficient battery power ® PhysioMem PM 100 2G 77811011...
5 Recording and sending an ECG How and where you apply the device Fig. 12. Recorder on the patient’s chest The ECG electrodes are integrated like little feet in the back of the PhysioMem. To record an ECG, put the device directly on your chest. The correct position of the device is mid sternum (Fig.
Fig. 13. How to adjust the neck lanyard Recording an ECG During recording, hold the device steady and press the four elec- trodes firmly on the chest (Fig. 14). Then press the button (1) to start the recording. Fig. 14. How to press the start button The recording duration is 40 seconds.
Page 27
NOTE An irregular beep during recording does not necessarily indicate a cardiac arrhythmia. In most cases, a technical error has occurred during the re- cording (artefacts). NOTE When the beep fails during recording correct the position of the de- vice and press it more firmly on the chest.
Sending an ECG Recording NOTE The device uses public telecommunication networks to transmit data. In- terruptions are possible depending on the network coverage, availability of the services and line quality. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the transmission is always successful. After recording, the device automatically switches to sending mode and in the display, the number of recordings not yet sent is shown together with a progress indication:...

C – ECG in storage – connection to mobile network established D – ECG in storage – connection to ReSTA established E – ECG sent – connection to ReSTA / status message After sending, the main display is shown again. Each ECG recording successfully sent is then deleted from the stor- age.
NOTE You can start a new recording anytime during transmission. In this case, the transmission is interrupted. The ECG recording stays stored until the next transmission. Switching off the Device To switch off the device, press the button (1) for longer than 10 sec- onds and hold it until the device switches off and the display goes blank.
6 The System of PhysioMem and ReSTA Overview ReSTA is a server-based software for receiving and transmitting vital signs data (ECG). Fig. 18. Weg der Datenübertragung (1) Patient (2) Measurement (3) Transmission (4) Email (5) Physician/Hospital (6) Analysis ReSTA receives the data sent by PhysioMem via a mobile network, con- verts these data to a defined data format and redirects them via a mobile network to a defined target address.
CAUTION The attending physician as receiver of an ECG has to ensure that these ECG data are assigned correctly to a patient. During the entire transmission process, no patient-related data are used. It is in a medical facility that the ECG recording is assigned to a patient by healthcare professionals.

The heart rate in beats per minute [bpm] is continuously calculated from the time that elapses between two consecutive beats. Averaging is not used for the calculation.The device is not indicated to detect Pauses auto- matically. Fig. 19. ECG report NOTE The recording and transmission times refer to Central European Time or Central European Summer Time.

NOTE Use the storage pouch supplied for safe storing of the device when not in use. NOTE Switch off the device if this is not to be used for some time. Proceed as ex- plained in the “Switching off the Device” section on page 30. NOTE Check the charging state of the device if it has not been used for some time and charge the device as explained in the “Putting into Operation,...
