  • Page 22: Using The Measurement Hardware

    USING THE MEASUREMENT HARDWARE ECG measurement An ECG recording is used to assess the athlete’s cardiac and metabolic state. The sensor should be attached to the ECG chest strap and must be placed at the bottom of the sternum. Soak the ECG chest strap electrode pads with water. The micro-USB port on the sensor needs to be facing down;...
  • Page 23 The DC Potential cable with a head symbol connects to the athlete’s forehead. The DC Potential cable with a hand symbol connects to the base of the thumb of the athlete’s dominant hand. The DC Potential cable connects to the micro- USB port of the sensor.
  • Page 24 IMPORTANT! Follow this protocol when dressing the chest strap, sensor and DC electrodes to avoid bending the micro-USB connector: 1. Thoroughly wet the chest strap electrodes and wear it 2. Attach the DC electrodes to the hand and the forehead 3.

  • Page 25: Pairing The Sensor With Your Ipad

Any movement, talking, coughing, sneezing or other such activities will disrupt the signal being received from the sensor. Under such a scenario, you will be notified on-screen and through voice guidance (which can be muted).
  • Page 31 9. There may also be other reasons why the Start measuring button is not turning green, check the messages under the ECG and DC sensor to review possible reasons. 10. When the sensor is ready to start a measurement, the Start button will turn green. To begin the measurement, tap Start measuring.
  • Page 32 12. If the signal quality is very poor, the measurement will be cancelled and you will be required to start again. This is because a good quality signal is required to complete the sophisticated data analysis performed by Omegawave. 13. You will hear a sound when the measurement is complete. Please ensure that your iPad’s volume is switched on.
  • Page 33 If the athlete maintains a resting position and you initiate a new measurement without following this protocol, the athlete’s functional state will change from active to reduced wakefulness. Omegawave’s algorithms are designed to analyze an athlete’s functional state at an active level of wakefulness.
