SAFETY INFORMATION This device is designed to be used only with the electrodes specified in this manual. Strictly follow the correct clinical procedures to prepare the skin before the application of the electrodes and monitor the patient in order to avoid any irritation, inflammation or other skin reactions. The electrodes are designed for short-term applications and must be promptly removed once the examination is complete.
Page 9
SAFETY INFORMATION No risk has been highlighted from even prolonged contact with the material HD+ Safety Shell and HD+ Stress Belt are made of. However, it is recommended to avoid direct contact with the skin for periods exceeding 24 hours. ...

700 mbar; 1060 mbar The HD+ must be connected to the receiver before use. In order to be used with the HD+, the receiver must be pre-set in the factory or meet the hardware specifications set out by Cardioline.
See par. 3.4 for the recommended separation distance between the radio equipment and the device. The use of accessories and cables other than those recommended by Cardioline SpA, may cause an increase in emissions or a lowering in the protection of the system.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) IEC 61000-4-2 +/- 8 kV air +/- 8 kV air relative humidity should be at least discharge discharge 30%. +/- 2 kV for power supply Electrical Fast Transient/ lines Burst Not applicable IEC 61000-4-4 input/output lines +/- 1 kV Surges differential mode Not applicable...
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey (a), should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range (b). Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol: a.
Page 16
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the specifications supplied by the manufacturer. NOTE 1: At 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 5.1. Purpose of the manual The manual represents a guide for the execution of the following operations: Reasonable use of the HD+ acquisition device and its functions. Preparation of the device for use. Execution of an ECG examination. ...
The HD+ transmits the acquired data wireless and in real-time to a computer/device (i.e. PC or Tablet) where one of the compatible CARDIOLINE software is installed. HD+ uses a standard Bluetooth data transmission technology to transmit 12-lead ECG data over a proximity range, providing perfect electrical insulation and freedom of movement for the patient.
INTRODUCTION Rear view of the device: Name label Battery compartment door 5.5.1. Use of the button Use the central button to turn on the device. The device automatically switches off after 5 minutes of inactivity or when the batteries are removed. 5.5.2.
INTRODUCTION 5.6. Accessories 5.6.1. HD+ Safety Shell HD+ Safety Shell is a silicone protective shell which allows the HD+ device to have enhanced resistance to impacts, falls and water ingress. With HD+ Safety Shell the HD+ device reaches degree IP42. Thanks to the material and ergonomic shape it makes gripping the HD+ device easier making it even easier to handle when used in emergency situations.
INTRODUCTION The device function consists of acquiring and wirelessly transmitting ECG signal for displaying, processing and presenting ECG signal for the purpose of supporting the diagnose of patient conditions. The device does not store nor does associate patient identification data to the acquired signal, nor does it perform analysis on such signal.
Through a Bluetooth connection, the HD+ transmits the acquired electrocardiographic signals in real-time to a computer where one of the compatible CARDIOLINE software is installed. Refer to the user manual of the individual software for a complete guide to the HD+ connection.
EXECUTION OF THE EXAMINATION EXECUTION OF THE EXAMINATION 7.1. Preparing the patient Ensure that the patient fully understands the procedure and knows what to expect before connecting the electrodes. Privacy is very important to allow the patient to be relaxed. ...
Page 30
EXECUTION OF THE EXAMINATION 2. Position the electrodes on the flat and fleshy parts of the arms and legs. 3. If a limb is not available, position the electrodes on a blood-supplied stump. 4. Apply the electrodes on the skin. Test the correct adherence, and therefore the good contact, by pulling the electrode.
EXECUTION OF THE EXAMINATION Reference table for the connection to the patient IEC lead AAMI lead Position Fourth intercostal space to the right of the sternum. Fourth intercostal space to the left Yellow Yellow of the sternum. Midway position between electrodes V2/C2 Green Green V4/C4.

4. If the HD+ is properly connected to the receiver, the acquired ECG data is transmitted automatically. 5. Follow the instructions described in the user manual of the CARDIOLINE software installed on the receiver to acquire, print and save a tracing.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 8.1. Precautions Switch the device off and remove the batteries before cleaning. Do not immerse the device in water. Do not use organic solvents, ammonia-based solutions or abrasive cleaning agents which could damage the surface of the device.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Do not immerse the cable terminations. Immersion may result in metal corrosion. Do not dry excessively or use forced heat to dry. ATTENTION: Avoid immersing the device in the liquid and do not apply a direct stream of liquid. Do not autoclave or steam clean.
8.9. Recommendations The device cannot be repaired. In the event of a failure, contact the Cardioline Authorised Service Centre to assess the extent of the failure and, possibly, to replace the device. In any case, where a non-compliant operation is suspected, the following procedures are recommended: ...
Page 36
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING electrode must be replaced. Check if the terminal is connected or if the relevant RL or R RL or R anomaly electrode must be replaced. Check if the terminal is connected or if the relevant LA or F LA or F anomaly electrode must be replaced.
