User's Manual

The Proteus Patch is a body-
worn sensor that collects
physiological and behavioral
metrics (heart rate, activity, body
angle, and time-stamped patient-
logged events). Installation
involves connecting the Patch
to a Mobile Computing Device
and affixing the Patch to your
skin. The Patch may be worn
during most activities, including
exercising and bathing.
REPLACING A PATCH
1. REMOVE
Pull the used Patch away from your
skin. Do not discard until your new
Patch is connected.
2. Prepare your skin by using clippers
to trim any hair from selected location.
Gently pat the location you have
selected with the provided alcohol
wipe. Wait for your skin to dry.
3. Apply the Patch
a. Remove a Patch from its pouch
and peel off the first backing.
Take care not to wrinkle
the adhesive.
b. Stand in a comfortable, upright
position. With the Patch button
facing upwards, apply the Patch
to your selected area.
c. Make sure to peel off the second
backing. Then smooth the
edges around the Patch with
your fingers.
4. DISPOSE
Finally, check status of the previously
removed used Patch on your Mobile
Computing Device. When the data
transfer is complete, dispose of
the used Patch as you would any
household battery or electronics
(please check your local electronic
waste disposal standards).
PATCH MAINTENANCE
High levels of activity and water exposure
(e.g. showering, bathing, or swimming) may cause
the Patch to peel off. To help the Patch remain
attached, wait at least one hour after applying the
Patch before exercising or exposing it to water. When
you do exercise or get the Patch wet, you should pat
the Patch dry and gently run your fingers along the
adhesive to prevent peeling.

PROBLEM

to your skin.
