This guide will help you get started with monitoring
using the VistaPoint™ application and the VitalPatch®
biosensor.
The VitalPatch biosensor (referred to as “VitalPatch” in
this document) is an adhesive device worn on the
chest to measure and record vital signs. Refer to the
VitalPatch Instructions for Use (IFU-02 or IFU-06) for
detailed clinical instructions.
The VistaPoint application collects and uploads vital
signs from the VitalPatch and approved third-party
devices to your care team.
VistaPoint runs on the portable VistaTablet™ device.

Indications for Use
Contraindications (When not to use)
Do not use the VistaPoint application as a
standalone diagnostic monitor. However, the data
may be applicable for use in diagnosis.
VistaPoint is a software Graphical User Interface
intended for use by healthcare professionals to
display physiological data collected by the Vista
Solution wireless remote monitoring system in home
and healthcare settings. VistaPoint is a secondary,
adjunct patient monitor and is not intended to replace
existing standard-of-care patient monitoring practices.
Refer to the VitalPatch Instructions for Use (IFU-02 or
IFU-06) for additional indications, warnings and
precautions.
VistaPoint Precautions
• Invalid posture data (shown as “?”) indicates a
non-calibrated state where respiration rate, posture,
and fall data are considered invalid.
• Body movements and contact with the VitalPatch
may produce motion artifacts that aect the
displayed, measured values for ECG and heart rate.
• After applying VitalPatch, it may take 45 seconds
for heart rate to stabilize and respiration rate 120
seconds to stabilize. During the stabilization period
VistaPoint will display “--” for those vital signs.
• After applying VitalPatch, it may take several
minutes for skin temperature to register an accurate
value (for VitalPatch with rmware 1.4.0.x).
