Product Information/Salient Characteristics The Zio Patch is a long-term cardiac rhythm monitor that provides continuous monitoring for up-to-14 days (significantly longer than the time period of a typical Holter). By providing a longer time period of continuous recording, the Zio Patch improves the likelihood of capturing arrhythmias and provides for an equal or higher diagnostic yield versus other devices on the market. Diagnostic findings are not reported until the device is returned to Rhythm Technologies and will be posted to their website for review and printing for final interpretation by Cardiologist. The Zio Patch is indicated for use on patients who may be asymptomatic or who may suffer from transient symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, light-headedness, presyncope and syncope, shortness of breath, anxiety and fatigue. As with all iRhythm products, the Zio Patch is 100% recyclable. No part of the device will end up in a landfill, minimizing the impact of disposable devices on the environment. Intended Use: The ZIO Patch will be applied to upper left chest of patient and to be worn up to 14 days to monitor patient's rate and rhythm. It is a diagnostic tool to aid physicians in the treatment of their patients with arrhythmia problems or to rule out arrhythmia problems due to various symptoms. Benefits: oEasy for patient to use: Apply and remove device from chest after monitoring period. The ZIO Patch has no electrodes, lead wires or telephone to wear as with "real time" event monitoring devices. oCan be worn during showering (though not to be immersed in water completely as in swimming), thus eliminating breaks in monitoring period. oDepending upon indications for use, can save considerable costs with use of the device and less ordering of more expensive monitoring device for real time monitoring. oThe patient simply puts their used Zio device in the postage paid envelope provided with their device and drops it in the mail. oOffers longer periods of monitoring than standard 24 or 48 hour monitors to capture infrequent but questionable symptoms of palpitations, dizziness, etc. DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS TECHNICAL FEATURES Simple 1-button operation to mark symptoms MEMORY CHARACTERISTICS ECG Channels - 1 channel Memory capacity - 14 days Recording Format - Continuous ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Frequency Response - 0.15 Hz to 34 Hz Input Impedance - > 3 Mohm Differential Range - +/- 1.65 mV Resolution - 10 bits PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Dimensions - 123 x 53 x 10.7 mm Weight - 34 grams Shelf Life - 6 months POWER REQUIREMENTS Battery Type - Lithium Polymer Battery Life - 14 days STANDARDS COMPLIANCE AAMI/ANSI EC38 IEC 60601-1 (vii) Delivery FOB Destination to: VA Boston Healthcare System West Roxbury Campus 1400 VFW Parkway West Roxbury, MA 02132 More information will be provided upon contract award.
