The healthcare professional responsible for issuing, assigning or fitting a V Patch System must read and
understand the contents in Table 1 “System Setup”, be familiar with the device operation and expert in the
listed contents of section 14.0 “Troubleshooting Guide” PRIOR to using the device.
Function Indication
To configure the device, please refer to Section 6.4.2, before use. The length of the monitoring period is
chosen during the previous system configuration.
Switch on the Vcell by pressing ‘D’: ‘E’ will turn orange and then green while 1 beep is heard.
To pair the devices, press and hold ‘F’ on the Vcell until the pairing mode indication is seen:
Enter Pairing Mode on the Vcell by
pressing and holding ‘F’:
1 beep and ‘E’ is green when ‘F’ is pressed initially
‘E’ flashes green to indicate that it is in pairing mode and is searching for
Vpod.
‘E’ can now be released.
Once ‘E’ begins to flash green, the user has 60 seconds to complete the pairing process by switching on
the Vpod and placing it in pairing mode.
If pairing is not completed within 60 seconds the devices will timeout and return to normal operation.
If pairing is still required, the healthcare professional must switch the devices off and then on again and
repeat the sequence.
Insert the coin cell batteries into the
Vpod and close the case using ‘B’:
1 beep or 3 beeps (See Section 6.7.1, Page 7)
Press and hold ‘A’ on Vpod:
1 beep (depending on previous configuration) when ‘A’ is pressed initially
Repeated fast beeping while searching for Vcell
Long beep when successfully paired with Vcell
‘E’ on Vcell is stops flashing when successfully paired with Vpod
1 long beep is heard from the Vpod and ‘E’ stops flashing on the Vcell to indicate that it has successfully
paired and that the system has been reset to the default settings (30 seconds of ECG data recorded when
an arrhythmia is detected or when Event Button is pressed).
The Vcell will connect to the network to retrieve configuration settings.
Please note the solid orange LED described below to confirm that the device has connected successfully.
While the device is searching for a
Network connection
‘E’ is flashing orange
When a successful connection has
been established
‘E’ is solid orange
If the Vcell is unable to connect to the
network
‘E’ will stop flashing orange
The Vcell will then ensure it is in range with the Vpod (whether there is a successful connection to the
network or not).
The Vcell will then send any new configuration settings available to the Vpod. The LED sequence may vary
at this stage; however the system has successfully received the new settings when 3 beeps are heard from
the
V
pod.
Sending configuration settings
‘E’ will be orange for a short time while data is transferred
3 beeps will be heard from the Vpod
Devices in range ‘E’ will remain solid green
‘E’ will become solid green again when the system is ready for use.
This indicates that the paired Vpod and Vcell are within range of each other.
The
V
pod can now be connected to the Biosenso
r
A
rray that is applied to the patient.
When the devices are out of range, ‘E’ will not be lit, but will flash green approximately every 10 seconds
as it searches for the
V
pod it was previously paired with.
To switch off the Vcell, press and hold ‘D’.
Vcell switching off ‘E’ is solid orange while 1 beep is heard
