CardioBelt™ is a part of the Intellewave 1.2. It consists the following two parts:

1. The Cardiac Signal Processing Unit (CSPU) is connected to the Belt. The CSPU  receives the cardiac electrical signals from the sensors on the Belt, modify them and sent them to the PC via Bluetooth transceiver. 

The LED indicator illuminates in three colors:

Yellow indicates that the unit is powered up, but the Bluetooth link has not been established.

  Green indicates that the link has been established and ECG signals is being transmitted.

  Red indicates that the unit is powering down. Flashing red indicates the battery need to be charged.

By depressing the Power button you can to turn the unit ON and OFF.

2. The Cardiac Signal Acquisition Belt (Belt) captures the electrical signals from the human heart. It consists of three metal sensors.

The CardioBelt™ goes with Power supply/ charger to recharge the CSPU. It can not be plugged in to the CSPU when the CSPU is connected to the Belt.

To fit the CardioBelt™ to a patient:

1. Wrap the assembled belt around the patient’s torso, immediately below the breast line.

2. Tighten to a comfortably snug fit using the Velcro ends to secure the belt in place. Do not over tighten.

3. The CSPU should be centered on the patient’s chest.
