2 Safety and Regulatory 2.1 Intended Use Lifescreen is an ECG screening system for recording and scanning up to seven days of continuous ECG. The Lifescreen System consists of the Lifescreen scanning software and the Lifecard CF 7-Day digital ECG recorder, preconfigured for Lifescreen mode. You may have purchased the Lifescreen software to use in conjunction with a Pathfinder ECG analysis system, and your existing Lifecard CF recorders. Lifescreen displays the continuous (“full disclosure”) ECG, and displays graphs of average heart rate and individual beat-to-beat intervals, to help you identify interval and rate-related abnormalities. Selected ECG strips and graphs can be printed out in the final report, together with your comments and interpretation. The operator should be trained in electro-cardiography. A qualified medical practitioner should make any diagnosis. Recordings can be exported in a format compatible with a Spacelabs Healthcare Pathfinder ECG system, for further detailed analysis.

With CardioNavigator you can: • Enter patient details • Configure the Lifescreen or Lifecard CF recorder • Download recordings from the recorder • Start a new analysis • Review a previous analysis • Print a previous report • Make a detailed search for specific patients and recordings

2.2 Declaration of Conformity This product is in conformity with the essential requirements and provisions of Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices. Your PC equipment should be CE Marked to the LV directive and comply with the IT Safety Standard EN60950.

3.1.9.2 Analysed/Confirmed Checkboxes

‘Use’ = Filter inspects this setting ‘State’ = Analysed/Confirmed if checked, Not Analysed/Confirmed if not checked. The ‘Analysed’ and ‘Confirmed’ status can only be used with 12-Lead ECG recordings from CardioNavigator/CardioCollect

NOTE

"To Limit the Patient List, see ‘Show Only Patients With At Least 1 Recording.

"Reselect ‘No Filter’, to display all recordings. 3.2 Archiving and Backup Your CardioNavigator database will gradually become full as the hard disk space is used up. The Cardioarchive program is part of CardioNavigator, and is used to move recordings from their ‘default’ location (normally the hard disk) to an ‘Archive Medium’, such as a DVD RAM, recordable CD or a network drive. This frees up space on the hard disk and enables you to transfer the database to a more secure medium. Note that the recordings are moved. After archiving the database, there is still only one copy, on the new medium. The patient details are copied. That is, the patient’s name and details still appear in the CardioNavigator database, so that you can add new recordings to that patient. To start the archive program, click on ‘Start Archive Program in the CardioNavigator File menu: The CardioArchive program and database will be displayed:

16

18-0020 Rev. C

The Source specifies from where you want to move recordings. ‘Default’ is normally hard disk ‘C’ on the PC. The Dest (destination) specifies to where you want to move recordings. Sources and Destinations must appear as drive letters (‘logical drives’) to the PC, for example ‘F:’, ‘H:’, ‘M:’. CardioArchive currently does not support UNC names (for example serverarchive). If you want to use a network drive, it must be mapped as a drive to the PC. Please ask your IT department for help with network drives. Select the source or destination archive by clicking on the down arrow adjacent to ‘Source’ or ‘Dest’, then click on the required name. CardioArchive keeps a ‘master’ list of patient names and recordings, for all archives. When All Archives is selected as the Source, CardioArchive lists all patients and the name of the archive where their recordings are located.

Lifescreen Instruction Manual

17

3.2.1 Creating a New Medium A new medium must be electronically named before you can use it for archiving. If you are using a writable CD or DVD, it must be formatted and/or made writable by your CD/DVD writer software, before attempting to name it with CardioArchive. When the medium is ready, select Medium – Create New Medium from the menu: In the next box, select the correct drive letter from the list of Available Drives and enter a name to identify the medium. For example, ‘January -March 2003’: Click OK to complete the operation. This name will now appear in the list of Source and Destination drives. Be sure to write the name of the archive on the CD/DVD label!

NOTE

A CD or DVD can only have one archive. You cannot create ‘January - March 2003’ and ‘April -June 2003’ on the same CD, for example. A new CD is required for the second archive. In the case of network drives, a new folder must be created and shared on the network.

3.2.2 Selecting the Recordings to Archive The left-hand window lists all the patients with recordings in the Source archive. If a patient has no recordings, they won’t be listed here (because there is nothing to archive). The right-hand window lists all recordings on that archive, for the selected (highlighted) patient.

You can select individual patients and recordings by clicking on the patient’s name, then double-clicking on the recordings you want to archive. For example, here all recordings for November 2002 have been selected for patient number 507708: When you double-click on a recording, the size of the recording appears in the column ‘M’ (medium). If you want to deselect a recording, double-click on it again.

18

18-0020 Rev. C

3.2.3 Automatically Selecting All Recordings in a Date Range Most often you will probably want to archive all recordings in a certain date range. You do this by first setting up a Recording Filter, which specifies the date range. Click on the down-arrow adjacent to ‘Recording List’, and select Filter Definition Click on New to open a new filter template, and enter a name (for example, ‘January March 2003’). In the new template, type in the appropriate Date Range.

NOTE

The ‘Analysed’ and ‘Confirmed’ status can only be used with 12-Lead ECG recordings from CardioDirect/CardioCollect. Leave this blank for all other types.

On the left, check all the recording types you want to archive. In this example, we selected all recording types: Click OK to apply this filter. In the database, you will now see only patients and their recordings, matching the filter criteria. If a patient has recordings from other dates, these recordings won’t be listed. If a patient has no recordings that match, their name won’t appear in the left-hand list. Lifescreen Instruction Manual

19

To quickly select all patients and recordings in this display, click the ‘Tick’ button on the screen then click OK to accept the ‘Select Marked’ option. Choosing Release Marked de-selects all previously marked recordings. Reverse Marked changes marked to unmarked, and vice-versa. Make sure the correct Destination archive medium is selected, before clicking the ‘Right Arrow’ button to start archiving the recordings. When archiving is complete, this message advises you to write-protect the medium, to prevent accidental overwriting or erasure.

NOTE

If you are using a CD-R, this is called ‘making compatible’, after which the CD-R cannot be written to again.

When you return to the CardioNavigator database, if a selected patient has archived recordings, the archive is listed in the Archive column of the Recording List. The Archive name is the one you gave when creating that new archive medium. If you want to view those recordings, the corresponding archive medium (CD, DVD, or network drive) must be ready.

3.2.4 Backup for CardioNavigator The Backup utility makes a copy of the database to a DVD RAM, recordable CD or a network drive. This can be used to recover data if the PC hard disk is damaged. The Backup utility must first be set up in the Options (see the Installation Manual). You may want help from your IT/IS department with this. Once the utility has been set up, you can make a backup at any time by selecting Backup for CardioNavigator from the File menu: When you run Backup for CardioNavigator, the database must close first- click OK when you are ready.

3.3 CardioNavigator Reports 3.3.1 Retrieving or Reviewing a Stored Report or Recording Click on the required patient in the Patient List whose recording you want to retrieve. Then double-click on the recording in the Recording List to retrieve or review it. It will be opened with the appropriate program.
