FloPatch device. Cyber-Security FloPatch FP120 uses a Bluetooth Low Energy wireless communication protocol to transmit physiological signal data from the sensor to a monitoring apparatus. All wireless devices are exposed to some risk of cyber-attack. If the user suspects that the sensor’s data stream is compromised, they can confirm signal fidelity by performing auditory Doppler shift test and mechanical tap test as outlined below.
Page 38
Doppler shift data in real-time, in such a way that the data could be interpreted by the FloPatch FP120 software, and if interpreted by the software, be mistaken for physiologically relevant data by the clinical end user. In the unlikely event that the BLE data stream was thought to be compromised, the clinician could perform the sensor-tap test to verify the fidelity of the data through instantaneous audible and visual feedback from the device.
5) Ensure that the device is oriented correctly. 6) Ensure the volume is turned up in the FloPatch FP120 application No FloPatch FP120 Ensure FloPatch FP120 device is powered on and in range of the iPad. devices detected in the connection screen If any of the above solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact the manufacturer.
