User Manual – FloPatch FP120 Rev 2.0 For Use in the United States of America BASIC OPERATION 1. Press the power button to initiate the device. Upon initiation, the device LED indicator will blink rapidly to indicate it is ready to connect to the mobile app.
Page 15
The text on the strap will be right-side up in this orientation. 7. Place the FloPatch FP120 lengthways across the neck, directly on top of the previously identified carotid artery. When the device is placed, the Doppler sound will begin to be heard from the mobile app.
Page 16
Then hold the device in place and remove the end liners one at a time to adhere the entirety of the strap to the skin. 9. After securing the FloPatch FP120, the Doppler wave trace can be viewed on the mobile application. Perform any necessary assessments and examine the mobile app for information on patient physiology.
Low Battery If a FloPatch FP120 has been turned on but is not connected to the mobile application, or a connected FloPatch FP120 device has not been used to complete an assessment in the last 30 seconds, it will enter a standby mode in which the device is not streaming data to the mobile application.
In addition, the Welcome Screen displays the version of the application at the bottom of the screen. Home Screen The Home Screen is the main navigation menu for the FloPatch FP120 iOS application. It allows the user to access the core functionality of the FloPatch FP120 application through its three buttons:...
ID. This ID can be found on the top of the device as indicated in the image. The application will only allow for one FloPatch FP120 to be connected at a time.
For Use in the United States of America FloPatch Info and Disconnect Screen The FloPatch Info screen appears when a FloPatch FP120 device is connected to the mobile medical application and the FloPatch Connection Info button, shown below, is pressed on the Assess Blood Flow Screen or the Home Screen.
The Assess Blood Flow screen is where the Doppler information taken from the FloPatch FP120 is displayed graphically to the user. This screen is the core functional part of the FloPatch FP120 iOS application and has several features. In the above image, the parts of the screen are labeled 1-16, and information about...

WIRELESS CONNECTION PERFORMANCE An indicator, as shown below, is displayed on the Assess Blood Flow Screen to provide information on the quality of the wireless connection and data transfer between the FloPatch FP120 device and the Mobile Medical Application. The warning symbol remains grey in colour during normal use and flashes red when data is not transferred successfully.
Doppler shift data in real-time, in such a way that the data could interpreted by the FloPatch FP120 software, and if interpreted by the software, and 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.
Doppler-shift which is mechanical (rather than physiological) in nature. Protocol: 1) Ensure the FP120 is connected to the iOS device running FloPatch FP120 application. 2) Ensure the volume setting audible (i.e., not on mute). 3) Once the sensor has been acoustically coupled over the target vessel (or when the transducer is gel loaded) the user can tap-and-listen for a large amplitude mechanical Doppler shift.
Please follow the instructions to update the application. The firmware for the FloPatch FP120 hardware cannot be updated by the user. It can only be updated by Flosonics Medical or an authorised representative of Flosonics Medical.

14.5 EMC Note: If the FloPatch FP120 system is operated within the EMC environment described in Appendix C the device will maintain essential performance and provide the following within specifications: 1. Doppler Audio and Waveforms Display 2.
Ultrasound waves dissipate energy in the form of heat and can, therefore, cause tissue warming. Although this effect is extremely low with the FloPatch FP120, it is important to know how to control and limit patient exposure. Major governing bodies in ultrasound have issued statements to the effect that there are no known adverse effects from the use of diagnostic ultrasound, however, exposure levels should always be limited to ‘As Low As Reasonably Achievable’...
