Introduction to the MHM 100

The MHM 100 is a personal ECG testing device that monitors the heart on a

beat by beat basis to detect any irregularities. It does this over a period of up

to 8 hours and automatically generates a report of the heart rhythm.

The ECG results should always be sent for expert interpretation via the

Medick Personal Heart Reporting Service.

As part of the agreement you have access to the Corporate Website home

page http://club.medick.com/corporate

, an area within www.medick.com that

allows you to confidentially submit and retrieve personal ECG reports.

Notes on safety

While the MHM 100 is suitable for most people, it is not intended for use in

anyone who fits into the following categories:

• Anyone younger than 16 years, as heart function is not fully stabilised

in people this young and so the MHM 100 may produce misleading

reports

• People with pacemakers

• Women in late-stage pregnancy

There are also a very small percentage of people who have the type of heart

or body shape that cannot be properly analysed by the Medick Personal Heart

Reporting Service. If this applies to one your users, we will know as soon as

you send in their first test result and will advise you accordingly. This does not

necessarily mean that they have a heart condition, but only that the MHM 100

has detected a type of heart beat that is unsuitable for automated analysis

and we would suggest that you refund the user.

There are a number of precautions which should be taken while using the

MHM 100:

1. Do not use near to flammable or explosive liquids

2. Do not use while undergoing heat treatment e.g., during physiotherapy

3. Do not use whilst immersed in water, e.g., when taking a bath/shower

or swimming. The MHM 100 is not waterproof so don’t let it get wet in

the rain

4. Try to keep away from electrical appliances as much as possible whilst

wearing the MHM 100, as certain appliances could interfere with the

device

5. Do not use on users who have a pacemaker fitted, as the MHM 100

will not recognise pace ‘spikes’
