Setting Parameters
One of the advantages of this device is that it can easily be configured to work in different modes,
and with different operational parameters. In order to enable this, the device has an internal nonvolatile microSD card where it will store configuration parameters. These parameters are
retrieved from microSD card upon device start-up.
Device ID is set by the manufacturer . The device ID is secured from accidental modification. It is
readable but not modifiable by the cardiac technician. A technician can read and modify several
parameters before connecting the device to the patient. This configuration is done using the
Smart Dock docking station, coupled with the Sirona Viewer PC application.
Examples of parameters which can be modified
- Recording length
- Pre-trigger time length
- Post-trigger time length
- Recorded Event Threshold for LED and Audible Alarm: number of recordings that will
trigger LED to flash periodically to inform the patient that he should send data to the
monitoring center.
- Audible Alarm Enable: Enable/disable an audible alarm to the patient when the number of
recorded events reaches the preset limit.
- Tachycardia threshold
- Bradycardia threshold

Section 5: Instructions for Use
5.1 Instructions for Patient
Before the patient leaves the office inform the patient about:
a) Proper use of the Record button and patient diary.
b) Transmitting ECG by TTM.
c) Light message displays
5.2 Instructions for Technician
Before putting the Sirona on the Smart Dock make sure the Sirona is in docking mode.
Sirona can be put in docking mode by pressing the Send and Record button simultaneously
for 5 seconds.
Start Up
Upon the connection of a cable, the SIRONA performs a system check and briefly flashes each
LED. It will then sound three tones using the speaker.
RECORD Button
The event button is the large round Record button on the device with a raised ring around it.
Press the Record button to store ECG data before and after the button press to the SD card. The
event time, when used in conjunction with a patient diary, provides a physician with the ability to
correlate patient symptoms with the ECG data.
SEND Button
The recorder will sound an audible alert when the number of events stored is equal to or greater
than the number previously set in the event threshold option. The patient must contact the call
center using a traditional land line. After the technician answers, the patient will be instructed to
hold the Sirona’s speaker up to the phone’s mouthpiece and
for 5 seconds. This will transmit the stored events to the doctor or service via Trans-Telephonic
Monitoring (TTM). The unit should be held up to the phone until the sound stops. When the
sound stops the patient should get back on the phone to talk to the technician. The technician
will then inform the patient of a successful transmission or instruct the patient to repeat the
process in the case of an incomplete transmission.
Heart Rate and Pause Calculation
The method used by the Sirona device to detect beats and derive heart rates for preprocessing
uses digital filtering and peak detection to create event vectors. The event vectors are further
processed using decision rules based on MIT/BIH database testing. Once an ECG complex has
been identified, a corresponding time is logged in milliseconds. The distance between each ECG
complex is used to calculate heart rate.
Pauses are classified when the interval of any beat is longer than the user specified threshold for
pause and is less than 30000 milliseconds.
