This manual describes how to use and maintain the EXD. 2 Guardian System Overview The Guardian System detects changes in patients’ electrograms, using baseline electrograms from the previous day for comparison. If a change exceeds a pre-specified threshold, the system warns the patient and stores pertinent data for subsequent review. Two levels of warnings are possible: emergency alarms, for significant events that require immediate medical attention, and “see doctor” alerts, for less-significant events that require medical attention as soon as possible (e.g., in 1-2 days.) 2.1 System Components The Guardian System has five components: External Device (EXD) – a hand-held telemetry device that warns the patient of alarms and alerts via beeps and a red or yellow flashing LED, and is used to silence alarms and alerts. The EXD is also used for communication between the Programmer and the IMD. Implantable Medical Device (IMD) – an implantable programmable device that vibrates to warn the patient of 5 alarms and alerts, and stores electrogram signals and other data. Lead – a standard bipolar cardiac lead (St. Jude Medical Model 1488T) that is attached to the right ventricle. Lead Adapter – an adapter that connects the lead to the IMD and houses the antenna. Programmer – a customized computer that allows the physician to program IMD parameters and alarm settings for each patient. It also enables the physician to retrieve and review data collected by the IMD. 2.2 Indications & Contraindications The Guardian System is contraindicated when neither the patient nor patient caregiver can take appropriate action in response to alarms and alerts. Indications and contraindications for the EXD and IMD, individually, are discussed in the AngelMed Guardian ® Clinical Study Protocol. 2.3 Intra-System Communication Figure 1 shows the Guardian System communication architecture. The following points can be seen: • The EXD is the “hub” of communication between the IMD and Programmer. The EXD is used to set up communication sessions between the IMD and Programmer, in order to retrieve IMD data and set IMD parameters. It is also used to silence alarms and alerts. 6 • The EXD uses both near field and far field telemetry. Near-field telemetry (maximum distance of 5 cm or 2 inches) is used to silence alarms and alerts and to establish communication sessions between the IMD and Programmer. Far-field telemetry (maximum distance of 1.8 meters or 6 feet) is used for communication between the IMD and EXD after a session has been established and to initiate synchronous alarms and alerts on the EXD and IMD. • The EXD and Programmer each contain a serial port that allows them to be connected via cable.

Batteries are supplied separately. 3.2 Appearance Front – The front of the EXD contains the emergency and “see doctor” LEDs, and the “Press to Silence” button. The Emergency LED flashes red during alarms. The See Docto r LED flashes yellow during alerts. The Press to Silence button can be used to silence alarms and alerts and to check EXD battery power.

Model No.: EXD Serial No.: 57, 58 Description: 405 MHz MICS band transceiver. 6. Product Description The AngelMed Guardian External Device (EXD) is a hand held telemetry Device that warns the patient of alarms and alerts via beeps and a red or yellow flashing LED, and is used to silence alarms and alerts. The EXD is also used for communication between a laptop (serving as a programmer) and the IMD, using a low power, low frequency pulsed signal that communicates to the IMD in the near field. The Guardian System monitors and detects changes in patients’ electrograms, using baseline electrograms from the previous day for comparison. 7. Test Requirements The above mentioned tests were performed in order to determine the compliance of the EUT system with limits contained in various provisions of Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 95, including: 95.628 95.631 95.633 95.635 95.639 plus 15.209 All radiated emissions tests were performed to measure the emissions in the frequency bands described by the above sections, and to determine whether said emissions are below the limits established by the above sections. These tests were performed in accordance with the procedure described in the American National Standard for methods of measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (ANSI C63.4-2001). Another document used as reference for the EMI receiver specification was the International Special Committee on Radio Interference CISPR 16-1 (2003). L.S. Compliance, Inc.

Summary of Test Report DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY The Angel Medical Systems EXD was found to MEET the requirements as described within the specification of Title 47 CFR FCC, Part 95 for a MICS band transceiver. The EXD was also found to MEET the 15.209 general limits for a 40 kHz transmitter. 9. Introduction During August, September and October of 2005, a series of Radiated Emission tests were performed on two samples of the EXD medical device, here forth referred to as the “Equipment Under Test” or “EUT”. The two models tested use the same RF transmitter topology (plus it is ide…
