Thank you for purchasing Biowatch Medical’s vital signs
transmitter, model number VST
3
. The vital signs transmitter is
a comfortable, easy-to-use personal health monitoring device that
may be worn continuously 24 hours a day.
The vital signs transmitter automatically transmits medical data via
the cellular modem to the Clinical Monitoring Center whenever
your electrocardiogram (ECG) or other monitored physiological
parameters exceed normal limits. Critical care specialists at the
Clinical Monitoring Center will analyze data as it is received from
the vital signs transmitter and may then communicate directly
with you and take whatever action is deemed most appropriate at
that time. If for any reason you are unable to respond, Emergency
Medical Service (EMS) personnel will be dispatched to your
location using the information provided by the global positioning
system (GPS).
The monitoring service also provides an Immediate Voice
Response service option that allows you to depress the Event
Button to alert and speak directly with the critical care specialists
at the Clinical Monitoring Center at any time, for any reason.
Your vital signs and clinical reports are also available to authorized
personnel (i.e., yourself, physician, relative, guardian, etc.) who may
securely “log on” to www.biowatchmed.com to view these reports
for evaluation and tracking.
