Patient Preparation
This section contains step-by-step instructions that describe how to prepare patient for a
TelePatch Cardiac Monitor procedure with the Electrode Patch. Follow the skin preparation
sequence as closely as possible. This will greatly enhance the ECG signal quality and optimize
analysis.
Patch Placement for the TelePatch Procedure
Step 1 - Identify Electrode Patch Site
Refer to the figure below for proper patch placement:
Dual Channel and Single Channel Electrode Patch Placement
Step 2 - Prepare the Skin
Because the Electrode Patch will be worn for up to seven (7) days, proper skin preparation is
important for the procedure. Good skin preparation means better ECG signal traces that, in
turn, are easier for the doctor to review and evaluate. In order to obtain the best ECG
recording, the following procedure is recommended for initial hookup:
1. Whenever possible, be in an upright sitting position. This may be useful if any setup
problems occur that concern the signal voltage.
2. Following the placement diagram, select sites that are flat. Avoid skin folds or creases,
irritated skin or scar tissue, and highly muscular areas.
3. If necessary, shave an area at the patch site slightly larger than the size of the Electrode
Patch.
4. If powder, lotion, sun block, etc. has been applied to the chest or if skin is excessively
oily, wash site with plain soap and water. Do not use a soap that contains lotion or oil.

5. Skin-prep pads (found in alcohol prep-pad type packaging) can be used to clean and
prepare skin for initial application.
The above skin prep procedure is only required at the beginning of the procedure, during
Smartphone initialization. Users will not be required to perform this type of preparation each
time they apply a new Electrode Patch. It is best for users to have freshly showered with plain
soap each time they apply new Electrode Patches (about every 7 days).
If patch has connectivity issues the skin can be lightly abraded each electrode site with a
rough wash cloth, or an abrasive pad.
Step 3 - Electrode Patch Application
Applying TelePatch Patch
● Prepare skin, as shown in Step 2.
● When ready to position Electrode Patch on skin, remove backing from Electrode Patch,
apply to chest, using placement in the illustration. This can be done before inserting
Pendant in the cradle or after.
● Press Electrode Patch firmly onto skin with fingers once correctly positioned on the left
side of chest (Below collarbone).
● Once it is firmly adhered to skin peel remaining white tabs on the patch so the whole
surface of the patch is adhered to skin.
THE MEDICOMP ECG ELECTRODE PATCH IS SINGLE USE, NON-STERILE, AND DISPOSABLE

Patient Preparation
This section contains step-by-step instructions that describe how to prepare TelePatch System
and skin for a TelePatch Cable Cradle with Cable procedure - (requires individual chest
electrode patch application). Please follow the skin preparation sequence as closely as possible.
This will greatly enhance the ECG signal quality and optimize analysis.
Electrode Placement for the TelePatch Procedure
Step 1 - Identify Electrode Sites
Leads V5/MCL5 and a modified Lead I are used with the TelePatch Cable Cradle procedure, two-
channel ambulatory monitoring. By convention in the symptom recording reports, V5 is
Channel A and the modified Lead I is Channel B. Refer to the figure below for proper electrode
placement:

For women with large breasts, the following electrode positions are recommended:
Red in the left axillary line
Black in the right axillary line
This lead placement may eliminate potential skin prep problems and minimizes occurrences of
artifact.
Step 2 - Prepare the Skin
Individual electrodes may be worn for a few. In order to obtain the best ECG recording, the
following procedure is recommended for initial patient hookup:
1. Whenever possible, be in an upright sitting position. This may be useful if any setup
problems occur that concern the signal voltage.
2. Following the lead placement diagram, select sites that are flat and bony. Avoid skin
folds or creases, irritated skin or scar tissue, and highly muscular areas.
3. If necessary, shave an area at each electrode site slightly larger than the size of the
electrode.

4. If powder, lotion, sun block, etc. has been applied to the chest, or if skin is excessively
oily, wash each site with plain soap and water. Do not use a soap that contains lotion or
oil.
5. Skin-prep pads (found in alcohol prep-pad type packaging) can be used to clean and
prepare skin for initial application.
The above skin prep procedure is only required at the beginning of the procedure, during
Smartphone initialization. Users will not be required to perform this type of preparation each
time they re-locate electrodes. It is best for users to have freshly showered with plain soap each
time they apply new electrodes. When the Pendant is reconnected to the patient cable, the
unit performs a less restrictive setup.
If electrodes have connectivity issues the skin can be lightly abraded each electrode site
with a rough wash cloth, or an abrasive pad

USER MANUAL - UTM0000701-04D | 01/06/2017 51
How Do I Wear TelePatch System: Pendant, Cable Cradle With Electrodes?
You can wear the Cable Cradle on the breakaway Lanyard, or keep it in your pocket. Make sure
the cable stays plugged into the Cable Cradle at all times. When wearing Cable Cradle avoid
areas where the buttons might accidentally be pressed. At bedtime place Cable Cradle next to
you where its location is the most comfortable. Do not wear the Lanyard when sleeping.
Can I Shower?
When wearing the TelePatch Pendant with the Electrode Patch you can shower with the
Pendant and patch on. When done in the shower gently pat (not rub) the face of the patch and
the Pendant dry. You can remove the Pendant from the patch cradle if you would like to dry
behind the Pendant, then reinsert in the cradle immediately.
When wearing the Cable Cradle with cable DONOT wear the Cable Cradle or cable in the
shower.
1. Disconnect the cable from the Pendant and set the unit aside.
2. Unsnap the wires from electrodes. A diagram in the Patient Guide will help you to
replace them correctly when re-connecting.
Remove electrodes if skin is very irritated or if it has been 72 hours or more (per electrode
manufacturer's directive) since the last electrode change. If you don't need to remove the
electrodes, just make sure that water does not fall directly on them.
Tip For During Shower
The Electrode Patch and Pendant are water resistant. They will withstand brief periods in
contact with water – such as when showering. You can and should wear the Electrode Patch
and Pendant while showering but do not submerge or soak the devices in water.
If it is time to remove the electrodes, try removing them during your shower after they have
become thoroughly soaked with water. This will make removal easier.
Tip For After Shower
Please make sure to dry both the pendant and the plastic on the patch that holds the pendant
after getting wet.
If you are replacing Electrode Patch or single electrodes: After showering, determine where
electrode will be placed (refer to the diagram in the Patient Guide for placement) and dry your
skin well in those areas.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Setup Details and Troubleshooting Overview
This section helps resolve any problems that may be encountered while you are setting up the
TelePatch. Reduce the likelihood of seeing errors by making sure fresh Electrode Patch or fresh
individual electrodes are used, as appropriate, the cable is in good condition and securely
connected to the Cable Cradle, and care has been taken to perform the recommended skin
preparation.
Some problems are unavoidable due to a patient's particular heart condition or the unexpected
failure of a component. However, these cases are infrequently encountered.
When the TelePatch is connected begins its startup sequence, it assesses the quality of the ECG
signal. The TelePatch system will signal if there is a problem with the connections or if the
signal voltage is too high or too low for ideal auto-capturing. Messages on the Smartphone's
display will direct any necessary corrections.
Information is also provided in this section to assist with the setup procedure of any
replacement or exchanged TelePatch system component (e.g. Smartphone or Pendant).

Replaced components of the TelePatch will follow a slightly different setup procedure to the
standard method.
TelePatch System Hookup Testing Information
Quality Hookup Tests Overview
The TelePatch Quality Hookup tests evaluate cable connections, skin preparation, and signal-
voltage conditions. This is a test that is performed automatically by the TelePatch System, with
no indication to, or participation from, the user or patient until specifically directed by specific
commands on the Smartphone.
The Quality Hookup test starts once either:
1. The patient has the electrode patch in place on the chest with the pendant secured in the
electrode patch cradle and the Smartphone is turned on to initiate the patient’s procedure.
OR
2. The patient has the individual electrodes in place with the cable attached to both the
electrodes and the cable cradle, and the Smartphone is turned on to initiate the patient’s
procedure.
The TelePatch System (Pendant and Smartphone) determines whether there is a problem and
the problem will be displayed on the Smartphone.
The option that is used to define how the wireless system handles these conditions is called the
'Setup' option.
The Setup/Normal Setting
All TelePatch systems are shipped in the 'Setup/Normal' mode.
'TEST' SHOULD NEVER BE SELECTED AS A SETTING WITHOUT THE
SUPERVISION AND GUIDANCE OF MEDICOMP PATIENT SUPPORT.
THE PATIENT SHOULD CALL MEDICOMP FOR GUIDANCE IN THE 'TEST'
MODE.
During the Quality Hookup Tests, the Smartphone may display the
following screens before the procedure begins:
Pacemakers

TelePatch™ Cardiac Monitor PM750
USER MANUAL - UTM0000701-04D | 01/06/2017 61
If the 'Pacemaker' setting is selected, and if a paced beat was detected as typical, the
Smartphone displays a screen to confirm the QRS prior to beginning the procedure.
Lead Position Test
If no QRS is found, the following screen may be
displayed before the procedure begins. If this
screen is displayed, the patient is to follow the
guidance of a Cardiac Monitoring Center technician,
or Patient Support technician.
Skin Prep Results
The results of the skin prep test may be displayed
before the procedure begins.
• Go to PATIENT PREPARATION for additional steps.
• For additional troubleshooting instructions, call Medicomp Patient Support: 800-234-3278
ext. 2370
Error Displays
During procedure hookup, the TelePatch tests for flex circuit or cable breakage, and checks that
its minimal requirements for skin prep and signal voltage are met. These tests could last only a
few minutes or may take longer, depending on what the TelePatch detects. The Smartphone's
“objective” is to make sure that it receives a good signal. This ensures optimal auto-capturing
and good report results.
IMPORTANT POINTS
With very few exceptions, only errors seen with 'Lead Position Test' require that electrodes be
re-located on the patient's chest.
Most of the time, errors seen with “Lead Test Error” and “Testing Skin Prep” require re-
prepping or equipment changes.
Each time you make a change to correct a problem, you will need to tap 'Retry' for the
TelePatch to continue testing.

Voltage Errors after Several Attempts
For Cable Cradle Procedures
If inadequate signal voltage (can be either low or high) in one channel while the other one is
acceptable, place the electrodes in a ”parallel”, or ”side-by-side” lead arrangement. Identify the channel
that has the acceptable voltage and place the electrodes of the problem channel side-by-side with it. For
example:
Channel A good, Channel B bad - place Black electrode next to White. Configuration will be:
Black and white electrodes on the right upper chest, and red electrode underneath the left
breast.
Channel B good, Channel A bad - place White next to Black. Configuration will be: black and
white electrodes on the right lower chest.

Lead Position Tests
Lead Test Error
When a Lead Test Error occurs, the Smartphone displays a message
similar to:
THE WHITE ELECTRODE HAS A CONNECTION PROBLEM.
White = White electrode site (A-)

TelePatch™ Cardiac Monitor PM750
USER MANUAL - UTM0000701-04D | 01/06/2017 63
Red = Red electrode site (A+/B+)
Black = Black electrode site (B-)
Lead errors occur when the lead wire connected to the Cable Cradle detects a very high
resistance that may be caused by one or more of the following conditions:
Very high resistance values
Expiration of Electrodes
Cables disconnected
Very high resistance values
May indicate a problem with the cable. Try changing the cable first, if one is available,
otherwise move on to the next step.
If not done so already, thoroughly wash the electrode site with PLAIN (no lotion or oil) soap and
water. Apply a small amount (about the size of the tip of a cotton swab) of Skin Prep gel to a
paper towel and firmly rub it into the skin at the gel cup site. Wipe off the excess gel. If no Skin
Prep is available, this can also be done with a rough, wet, washcloth. Always apply a new
electrode to the site. In difficult cases, light abrasion with a scrub pad may also be required; this
may occur with users who have very oily skin.
Press down on the center snap of the electrode and Tap 'Retry' on the Smartphone.
If the TelePatch Pendant and Smartphone proceed through to 'Lead Position Test', then after all
tests are completed and the Smartphone is actively 'Monitoring,' change the electrode, this
time making sure that it is in good contact with the skin.
Expiration Date of Electrodes
Check the expiration date on the electrodes. Inspect the electrode(s) in question to verify moist
gel cups. If the gel is dry, you will need to replace the electrode.
Cables (lead wires) not connected
If the electrode cables are disconnected, this error message will also appear.

Although the TelePatch System automatically adjusts the signal size (voltage) to ensure optimal
analysis, some users may have cardiac anomalies that result in unacceptable signal voltage. The
signal may be too large or too small. The following section describes each error that might
occur. Sometimes, just having the patient lean back in a chair will increase the ECG voltage.
The Smartphone's message for this error is: Low A, Move Red
First, move the red electrode
After repositioning,
Press 'Retry'
If the Smartphone continues to display the error, try an electrode location on the opposite side
of the Red (A+/B+) electrode pictured. Don't try more than a few different locations.
