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).

VistaTablet.
Identifying VistaTablet Parts
Become familiar with the parts of the VistaTablet
(see gure to the right).
Turning VistaTablet On and Off
The VistaTablet should always be ON when you are
wearing a VitalPatch. Note that the screen will go to
sleep (but VistaTablet will remain ON) after a period of
inactivity.
• Turn ON: Press and hold the Power Key until the
VistaTablet vibrates and the screen lights up.

Section 2: Checking VitalPatch Hours and VistaTablet Battery Level
VitalPatch Hours
VitalPatch Hours Remaining
Each VitalPatch will last up to 5 days (120 hours) or 7 days
(168 hours), depending on model. To check how many
hours are remaining on your VitalPatch, start the
VistaPoint application and look for the hours
remaining displayed. See Section 8 on page 8 for
information on the VistaPoint application.
VistaTablet Battery Level
To check the VistaTablet battery level, look at the
battery indicator in the status bar (see gure above).
Do not let the battery run out. When the battery is low,
the VistaTablet will sound a warning tone and then
turn o. If this occurs, charge the VistaTablet for an
hour before turning it on again.
VistaTablet Battery Level
When the VitalPatch has only a few hours remaining,
you will see warnings on the VistaPoint dashboard.
Replace the VitalPatch before it expires.

Use only the provided cable and charger to charge the
VistaTablet. Keep the VistaTablet plugged into the
charger. You can use the VistaTablet device while it is
charging.

Section 5: Wearing the VitalPatch
Things to Avoid
• DO NOT shower or exercise for 30 minutes after
applying the VitalPatch.
• DO NOT expose the VitalPatch directly to the shower
head, and avoid excessive contact with soap or
scrubbing. Gently pat the VitalPatch dry after
showering.
• DO NOT swim with the VitalPatch or use in a sauna,
steam room or hot tub.
• DO NOT wear more than one VitalPatch at a time.
Always remove the old VitalPatch before applying a
new one.
4
How Long to Wear Your VitalPatch
• Each VitalPatch will last up to 5 days (120 hours) or 7 days
(168 hours). To preserve data recorded by the
VitalPatch, make sure you are connected to the
VistaPoint application before the VitalPatch expires.
• See Section 2 on page 2 for information on checking
how many hours are left on your VitalPatch.
• If discomfort or irritation occurs, the VitalPatch (and
the optional adhesive overlay) should be removed.
Contact your healthcare provider immediately.
• If the VitalPatch begins to fall o or lift from the skin,
contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Section 6: Applying the Adhesive Overlay (Optional)
VitalConnect
VitalConnect
VitalConnect
If you are not using an Adhesive Overlay, skip to Section 7 on
page 6 to pair your new VitalPatch with VistaPoint.
Your healthcare provider may recommend that you
apply an optional adhesive overlay to help the
VitalPatch stay adhered to the skin. Use only the
provided adhesive overlays.
DO NOT use other adhesives, overlays or tape.
1. Prepare Skin
Clean the skin around the VitalPatch with an alcohol
pad.
2. Peel Up One Corner of White Liner
Before applying the overlay, peel up one corner of the
white top liner, and bend it back. This creates a tab
that will help you remove the top liner later. See gure
to the right.
3. Place the Adhesive Overlay Over VitalPatch
a. Position the adhesive overlay over the VitalPatch,
with the blue liners against the chest. The raised
portions of the VitalPatch should be aligned with
the cutouts of the overlay. See gure to the right.
b. Ensure the tab you created in the previous step is
on the top side (pointing towards your head).

Use the VistaPoint Application
When pairing is complete, you will be shown the
VistaPoint dashboard with vital signs (see gure
above). Do the following, as directed by your care
team:
• Keep the VistaTablet device powered on and
charged (see Section 1 on page 2). Keep the
VistaTablet device near you as much as possible
(less than 30 feet) to ensure constant monitoring.
• Use the dashboard to observe vital signs and
monitor VitalPatch battery life.
• If directed by your care team, take oxygen
saturation, blood pressure, or weight readings (see
Section 12-18).
Verify Correct Display of Vital Signs
After pairing and calibrating, verify that data is owing
from the connected VitalPatch and is displaying on
the dashboard. Ensure that the VitalPatch ID above
the ECG display matches the identier on the
VitalPatch adhesive backing and/or pouch. A
matching ID provides conrmation that the correct
VitalPatch is connected. Additionally, verify that the
posture reected on the dashboard matches the
patient’s current posture.

Using the Optional Adhesive Overlay
to Prevent “VitalPatch Off Body”
If the VitalPatch will be exposed to conditions where
lifting and patch-o may occur, you may apply an
optional adhesive overlay to help keep the VitalPatch
adhered to the skin. See Section 6 on Page 5.
Use only the approved adhesive overlay described in
IFU-09, Adhesive Overlay Instructions for Use. The
use of other adhesives or tape is not recommended
and will prevent proper operation of the VitalPatch
and will void the warranty of the VitalPatch. DO NOT
use the adhesive overlay if the VitalPatch has already
lifted o the skin. The overlay may be used if the
VitalPatch begins to peel up at the edges but has not
lost contact with the skin.
