Intended Use
ACT I – CG 6108
The ACT I Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is
intended for use by patients who experience transient symptoms that
may suggest cardiac arrhythmia. The device continuously monitors a
one lead ECG, automatically generates an alarm triggered by an
arrhythmia detection algorithm, or generates an alarm manually
triggered by the patient, and transmits the recorded data trans
telephonically to a monitoring center. The monitoring center provides
the ECG data to the medical practitioner for evaluation.
ACT III – CG 6108-3L
The ACT III Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is
intended for use by patients who experience transient symptoms that
may suggest cardiac arrhythmia. The device continuously monitors
patient ECG, automatically generates an alarm triggered by an
arrhythmia detection algorithm, or generates an alarm manually
triggered by the patient, and transmits the recorded data trans
Page 8
telephonically to a monitoring center. The monitoring center provides
the ECG data to the medical practitioner for evaluation.
The ACT monitoring system is intended to be prescribed for patients
who have demonstrated a need for cardiac monitoring and are at low
risk of developing life-threatening arrhythmias. Conditions where the
system should not be used include patients likely to experience
primary Ventricular Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia and patients
who have other co-morbid cardiovascular conditions where an
arrhythmia could be potentially life threatening.
The ACT monitoring system is intended to be used in conjunction with
a monitoring service that reviews the recorded transmissions and
provides that information to the physician for his/her final diagnostic
interpretation. The monitoring system is not intended for use as an
emergency response system for patients who may experience lifethreatening arrhythmias.
The following list represents patient populations for whom use of the
ACT monitoring system is most appropriate. This list should be used
in conjunction with Medicare and other payor medical necessity
guidelines:
Patients with dizziness or lightheadedness
Patients with palpitations
Patients with syncope of unknown etiology
Patients who require monitoring for non-life-threatening
arrhythmias, such as Atrial Fibrillation, Supra-ventricular
Arrhythmias, evaluation of various Bradyarrhythmias. This
includes post-operative monitoring for these rhythms.
Patients recovering from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
surgery who require monitoring for arrhythmias
Patients requiring monitoring for arrhythmias-including co-morbid
conditions such as hyperthyroidism or chronic lung disease
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea to evaluate possible
Page 9
nocturnal arrhythmias
Patients requiring arrhythmia evaluation for etiology of stroke or
transient cerebral ischemia, possibly secondary to Atrial
Fibrillation

Warning
The ACT monitoring system is not intended
for use on persons with an Implantable
Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).
Use with Implanted Conventional Pacemakers (not including ICDs)
If you have an implanted pacemaker, the
manufacturer may recommend certain precautions
when using a cellular phone. Since the ACT cell
phone monitor is also a cellular phone, you should
take the same precautions when carrying and
using the cell phone monitor. In general, most
manufacturers recommend the following:
Keep a distance of at least six inches (15 cm)
between the cell phone monitor and a
pacemaker.
Carry the cell phone monitor on the opposite
side of the body from the pacemaker.
Don’t carry a cell phone in a breast pocket or
on a belt if that would place the phone within
six inches (15 cm) of the pacemaker.
Refer to the manufacturer's information for
guidance regarding the pacemaker and
interference issues.
Page 15
Caution
The ACT monitoring system is intended to
be worn during normal daily activities. If
vigorous physical activity or exercise is part
of your normal daily activity, the associated
perspiration and lead wire movement can
loosen the electrodes. Contact LifeWatch
to obtain special electrodes for these
situations.
Disposable electrodes must be changed
according to instructions provided in this
manual to assure optimal recording quality
and limited skin irritation.
The ACT monitoring system generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
The ACT monitoring system employs
Bluetooth and cellular technology. The
location of the ACT monitoring system and
the associated environment, including
cellular phone coverage in the particular
area, may cause transmission interruption
or delay.
Do not open or attempt to repair the sensor.
Only authorized service personnel may
repair the system components.
Over-the-counter batteries should never be
used as they can seriously damage the

To avoid damage to the system, the
system and accessories should be kept
away from extreme heat including
placement of the ACT monitoring system
on the dashboard of a car or near a
heater.
The system should not be subjected to
severe impact or bending force. Exposure
to these types of stresses can damage
the system components.
Charge the cell phone monitor every night
(irrespective of indicator status), making
sure that it is within 10 feet (3 meter) of
the sensor. In addition, charge the cell
phone monitor whenever possible during
the day.
The cell phone monitor energy
consumption may be high during the first
few days of monitoring (up to 72 hours).
Keep the cell phone monitor charged at
all times.
Return the used and unused sensor
batteries to LifeWatch for proper disposal.
Do not discard the batteries in or near a
fire.
If the sensor battery is replaced when the
sensor is out of Bluetooth range from the
cell phone monitor, the sensor will not be
able to connect with the cell phone
monitor and will not be able to record until
it reconnects with the cell phone monitor.
Page 17
Caution
If the sensor (ACT I firmware version 0.1g
and ACT III firmware version 1.0.4) is not
connected to the cell phone monitor (via
Bluetooth) for more than 2 hours (ACT I) or 6
hours (ACT III) and the sensor's battery is
replaced, the sensor (on reconnection) will
start with new data and not download the
data stored, thus overriding the data stored
when it was not connected.
Electrode disconnection might cause a faulty
ECG analysis and/or false events due to
noise created by the electrode
disconnection.
The impedance test (occurring every two
minutes) overrides ECG recording, which
means the ECG will lack 1 second (ACT I) or
0.5 second (ACT III) of recording every two
minutes.
Do not turn the cell phone monitor sound off
or reduce the volume so that it is inaudible.
After exiting the ACT (monitor) application, it
will take up to 3 minutes for all the processes
to end. This means you must wait 3 minutes
before starting the ACT (monitor) application
again.
Take the charged cell phone monitor with
you and wear the sensor at all times (except
when showering or bathing) during the
monitoring period.
Page 18
Caution
A Bluetooth disconnection between the cell
phone monitor and the sensor might occur due
to electromagnetic interference. In this case
the sensor will search for the cell phone
monitor device every 3 minutes.
If the cell phone monitor Bluetooth
communication is not active for 60 minutes, the
ACT (monitor) application will automatically
restart the Bluetooth communication.
Always change the sensor battery when
connected (Bluetooth) to the cell phone
monitor, a low sensor battery message
indicates there are up to three hours before the
battery fails.
First time use – The patient must call
LifeWatch to receive instructions on how to
proceed for the first time use. The first time the
ACT monitoring system is activated and is
attached, certain screens are displayed that
are not seen during normal operation. These

2. General Description
The ACT is an automatically activated cardiac monitoring
system that requires no patient intervention to capture or
transmit an arrhythmia when it occurs. When an arrhythmia is
detected, the ACT monitoring system utilizes an integrated cell
phone monitor to transmit the data to the Monitoring Center for
analysis.
Sensor
The sensor records and transmits the data to the cell phone
monitor. It can hold up to 6 hours (ACT III) or 2 hours (ACT I) of
data in its memory. This means that if a patient is away from the
cell phone monitor and wearing the sensor, the data is still being
recorded. Once the patient is in range (within 30 feet /10
meters) of the cell phone monitor, the data will be transmitted.
Cell Phone Monitor
The cell phone monitor receives ECG data from the sensor via
Bluetooth and can store up to 30 days of data. The cell phone
monitor has a special application that converts the raw ECG
data and sends it using a cellular network to the monitoring
center for interpretation or, in the case of no cellular coverage,
data can be sent using a landline and a modem. The cell phone
monitor should be carried in the supplied pouch whenever
possible.
Batteries
The sensor batteries are special batteries. DO NOT use over
the counter AA batteries. DO NOT dispose of the batteries –
they should be returned to LifeWatch when your monitoring
session is completed.
Page 26
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that enables the sensor and
cell phone monitor to communicate with each other. The ACT
system uses Bluetooth technology to transmit ECG data from
the sensor to the cell phone monitor. The cell phone monitor
internal Bluetooth component is on and running continuously
(24 hours a day) for the entire monitoring period; therefore, the
cell phone monitor must be ON at all times. Bluetooth operates
like a radio and is susceptible to interference. If the sensor and
cell phone monitor are more than 30 feet (10 meter) apart and a
Bluetooth connection cannot be made, no data loss will occur as
long as the sensor and cell phone monitor are reconnected
within 6 hours (ACT III) or 2 hours (ACT I). When the sensor
and cell phone monitor are within 30 feet (10 meter) of one
another, the Bluetooth will automatically re-connect. Charge the
phone every night for the whole night and whenever possible
throughout the day.
For optimal system performance, the recommended distances
between the cell phone monitor and sensor during the
monitoring period should be as follows:
Normal operation - within 20 inches (50 cm).
During cell phone monitor charging - within10 feet (3
meter)
Page 27
Note
The cell phone monitor automatically transmits the
detected ECG events to the monitoring center and the
user has the ability to send manually recorded events.
The data is saved on the storage card and the event
data is deleted after a successful transmission to the
monitoring center.
3. System Description
The ACT Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is
designed for self-testing by patients at home and for analysis by
trained technicians at a remote Monitoring Center.
The sensor is used for the acquisition and transmission of the ECG
signal. The sensor is equipped with three (ACT I) or four (ACT III)
electrodes on a harness and works in conjunction with a cell phone
monitor.
The sensor houses a 3.6V AA lithium-thionyl chloride battery, an ECG
channel circuit, an impedance measurement circuit, a pacemaker
detection circuit, a flash buffer memory, a Bluetooth transceiver and a
buzzer. The ECG signals are received, filtered and amplified in the
input circuit, stored in the flash memory buffer and transmitted via
Bluetooth to a cell phone monitor. The cell phone monitor runs a
proprietary application that is configured to process and transmit the
ECG recordings via a cellular network while storing them and the
detected physiological events on a micro-SD memory card. When a
physiological event is detected, the cell phone monitor transmits the
recorded ECG automatically via cellular link, to a Monitoring Center
for professional analysis. If the patient is out of the cellular network
coverage area, the cell phone monitor will send all events that were
stored when the cellular link is re-established. The cell phone monitor
can also transmit ECG alarms via landline telephone with an
additional POTS Bluetooth modem.
The sensor loops up to 2 hours (ACT I) or 6 hours (ACT III) cyclic
buffer of ECG data in the internal flash memory in order to preserve
the ECG in cases when the Bluetooth connection to the cell phone
monitor is down.
