AbioCor Handheld Monitor INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ® ® CAUTION: IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read the entire Instructions for Use before using the Handheld Monitor. The Handheld Monitor is to be used only in accordance with the Instructions for Use. Manufactured by: ABIOMED, Inc. 22 Cherry Hill Drive Danvers, MA 01923 USA N. America: 800-422-8666 (24-Hour Emergency Hotline) or 978-777-5410 Document No. 0034-0980-00006 Rev. A DRAFT July 2004 © 2004 ABIOMED, Inc. All rights reserved. Information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. ABIOMED, AbioCor, and the ABIOMED logo are registered U.S. trademarks of ABIOMED, Inc.

These Instructions for Use are intended to be used by clinicians, caregivers, and AbioCor patients. For more information about the AbioCor System, refer to the AbioCor Implantable Replacement Heart System - Operator’s Manual; the AbioCor Console Alarms - User’s Guide; and the Patient- Carried Electronics [PCE] - Instructions for Use. 1 Cautions NOTE: A caution indicates a situation in which equipment may malfunction, be damaged, or cease to operate. • Do not use the Handheld Monitor close to an operating AbioCor ® Console. The RF signals from the AbioCor Console and the Handheld Monitor will interfere with each other and not allow adjustments to be made to the Implanted System. If RF interference occurs, turn off the Handheld Monitor. • The Handheld Monitor does not use an indicator to display the status of its battery. However, the alarm message “Handheld Battery” is displayed when the battery is low. You should charge the Handheld Monitor battery every night, whether it is used or not. Overview 2 Overview The Handheld Monitor is a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that communicates with the AbioCor ® Implanted Controller. This allows you to quickly access important information about the AbioCor without using the Console. You can use the Handheld Monitor to: • Respond to a Heart Alarm on the PCE Module. • Check AbioCor ® status. • Check AbioCor ® settings and alarm history. You cannot make changes to Beat Rate, Motor Speed, or Balance settings using the Handheld Monitor. These changes must be made using the Console. Before using the Handheld Monitor, you must be trained in the operation of the PCE and the Console. 3 Components of the Handheld Monitor • RF Expansion Module – allows the Handheld Monitor to communicate with the Implanted Controller; draws power from the Handheld Monitor’s battery (even when the unit is off). • Handspring ™ Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) – standard PDA used as the interface component of the Handheld Monitor. • Stylus – used to select items on the screen (fingers can also be used). • Charger – plugs into an AC outlet to charge the Handheld Monitor’s battery. Components of the Handheld Monitor 4 RF Expansion Module Charger Handspring ™ PDA Stylus 5 Controls and Features • Life-Threatening Alarm Light – flashes when a life-threatening alarm condition exists; it also flashes briefly when the RF Expansion Module is inserted. • Application Button – used to access the AbioCor ® Settings Screens and Alarm History Screen. • Power Button – turns the Handheld Monitor on and off; the screen automatically turns off (to save power) if the unit has not been used for 2 minutes. • Touch-Sensitive Screen – displays information; responds to the stylus. • Scroll Buttons, Up/Down Arrows, and Scroll Bar – used to move through information on the screen. Controls and Features 6 Life- Threatening Alarm Light Application Button Up/Down Arrows Scroll Buttons Scroll Bar Touch- Sensitive Screen (Not used) Power Button 7 Resolving Alarms 1 The Handheld Monitor’s AbioCor ® Alarms screen allows you to view two types of alarms: active and inactive. • Active alarm – an existing alarm that has not been acknowledged (“silenced”); indicated by a flashing alarm message. • Inactive alarm – an existing alarm that has been acknowledged; becomes active again if it is not resolved within 2 minutes; indicated by a solid (not flashing) alarm message. NOTE: Alarms that have been resolved without action or acknowledgement may be displayed as solid alarm messages. Resolving Alarms 8 2 Alarms are divided into three levels: Life Threatening, Serious, and Advisory. The following message display methods are used to distinguish each level: • Life Threatening – Active: flashes between black text on light background and light text on black background. Inactive: solid light text with black background. • Serious – Active: flashes …
