Sources of defects / troubleshooting / disposal Manufacturer's EMC declaration Index Valid for CardioPort Four USB and BT. Bluetooth functionality is only available for CardioPort Four BT. These instructions for use are an integral part of the device. They must be stored with the device and kept accessible at all times for anyone authorised to operate this device.
Indications / contraindications / side effects Indications Electrocardiography is one of the most frequently used methods to derive bioelectric Resting ECG signals in diagnostics. By analysing the shape, time and frequency of these signals, statements can be made about cardiac activity and pathological changes to the heart.

Take note of the indications and contraindications listed in the medical literature as well. CardioPort Four may only be used to conduct and evaluate resting and stress ECGs and for functional diagnostic investigations of the cardiovascular system. The device is not intended for monitoring vital signs.
CardioPort Four and the mains as well as any connected networks are in place. If the computer to which the CardioPort Four is connected via a USB cable is not a medical PC and does not have any equivalent isolation, a USB isolator with an isolation barrier of at least 1.5 kV must be used between the CardioPort Four...

CardioPort Four, together with its ECG signal cables, is equipped with surge protection against defibrillation voltages. CardioPort Four can be used as a portable device and also as a stationary desktop device. CardioPort Four enables flexible use – in the medical office, in the hospital, in emergency situations as well as during house calls, because the system can also be operated with a notebook/laptop.
The exact hardware and software requirements for the PC can be found in the DiagnostikSuite instructions for use. USB connection to PC CardioPort Four can be connected to the PC via a USB cable. Due to the high data rate during an ECG transmission, the ECG amplifier must be directly connected to the PC.
Alternatively, an inductive receiver coil (5) and an inductive charging pad which meets the Qi standard can be used. To do this, place the CardioPort Four in the middle of the charging pad. During inductive charging, it is not possible to record an ECG.

CardioPort Four has no special protection against leaking liquids or the penetration of water or other liquids. If CardioPort Four was immersed in a liquid or a liquid was spilled on it, it should in no case be put back into operation. If liquid penetrated the device, pull out the USB cable and contact Zimmer customer service.
Device combinations CardioPort Four can be used in combination with many commercially available electrode suction systems. An adapter cable HDMI-DSUB is available for this purpose. A requirement for operation is that each patient cable of the ECG suction system contains a 10 kOhm defibrillation protective resistor.
If liquid should penetrate the device, the device must be immediately replaced and disconnected from the mains and PC. Maintenance CardioPort Four does not contain any parts which must be repaired or maintained by the operator. Page 16...
Legal notice The device is not listed in either in attachment 1 or in attachment 2 of the MPBetreibV (Medical Device Operator Ordinance). In Germany, the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) Regulation 3 (Electrical systems and equipment), as amended, must be observed. Note: This information applies to the operation of the unit in Germany.
Attach the individual components and install the drivers as well as the DiagnostikSuite PC software. For wireless ECG recording, switch on the CardioPort Four. Verification of the ECG signal transmission to the PC can only be tested using the DiagnostikSuite ECG analysis software.
