BioMonitor SmartLead

1 Introduction

1.1 Brief Description

The BioMonitor SmartLead is an accessory to the Ultium EMG sensor (#810) which is designed
to detect the heart rate and respiration rate of the subject utilizing electrodes. The BioMonitor
produces five simultaneous real-time data streams including ECG waveform, heart rate, R-R
intervals, thoracic impedance (respiration) waveform, and respiration rate.

1.2 Contraindications

Use of the Ultium system is contra-indicated in individuals who have implanted pacemakers.

2.1 Graphic Symbols and Meaning

The following international icons and symbols may be found on the Ultium BioMonitor SmartLead
enclosures and in this user manual. Their meaning is described below.

2.2 Glossary of Terms

Ultium Sensor -- A small individual radio transmitter typically worn on the body used to measure
and transmit bio-potential signals (such as EMG) or motion related signals (such as acceleration).
The Ultium Systems can accommodate up to 16 body worn Ultium Sensors in one network. Two
Ultium Systems may be used in parallel, on separate RF networks, to accommodate up to 32
body worn sensors.
Ultium SmartLead – Refers to different data collection modalities. Each SmartLead measures a
given type of physical parameter. Different SmartLeads can be combined in the same Ultium
network. The most common Ultium SmartLead is EMG. Examples of other types include
Accelerometers, Goniometers and Force sensors. In this particular model (BioMonitor) the smart
lead measures cardiac and respiratory signals.
