A-4 Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any dietary restrictions while the Capsule
Sensor is inside me?
None.
Can my Capsule Sensor be re-used?
Capsule Sensors must not be re-used in human applications.
What if a Dermal Patch Sensor causes a rash or
discomfort?
Discomfort may be the result of inadequate hair removal, or placing the
patch on an area of skin that is subject to flexing or stretching. A rash may
be a sign of dermatitis or allergy. Notify your practitioner immediately.
Can the Dermal Patch Sensor be worn in the shower or
bath tub?
Yes. However the VitalSense Monitor must be left outside the shower or
tub.
What is UTC and why is it important?
It stands for Universal Coordinated Time. A complete section has been
devoted to this subject. Turn to “Universal Coordinated Time” on
pageB-1.
How does VitalSense software get installed and
uninstalled?
The VitalSense Application Program is supplied in two distribution
formats: a Microsoft Installer (.msi) package, and as a self-extracting Zip
file. Normally just double-clicking on the MSI version will install the
package. Older versions of Windows may require you to obtain the
installer from the Microsoft website, or use the Zip file. The files will be
installed in C:\Program Files\VitalSense. The MSI package will
automatically create a shortcut on your desktop.
Uninstallation can be done using the Add/Remove Programs feature found
in your control panel. If the installation was done using the Zip package,
simply delete the VitalSense directory and the associated shortcut.
What is the “version” of my firmware?
See “Firmware Version” on page3-21.
The display on the VitalSense Monitor went blank.
Occasionally, to protect itself from electrostatic discharge, the LCD will
shut down. The display will reactivate when a transmission is received, or
when you momentarily press any button.
