Manufacturer% Statement ?f Required Tests and Preventive Maintenance

The Model 433 DigiCorder@ requires no mechanical maintenance other than routine physical inspection of the case, visible components, and cables. Memory modules should be tested periodically, by qualified technical personnel, to assure that the rated memory capacity is accessible. Failure to conduct such periodic evaluation could result in failed recordings.

Scope of Applications
The Model 433 DigiCorder is intended primarily as a Holter Recorder. However, the manufacturer has confirmed the ability of the product to record ECG signals from which a Del Mar Holter Analysis System can extract accurate data for ST-level analysis. Measurement of Heart Rate is a function of the external Holter Analysis System. Del Mar makes no claim for the Recorder in this regard. Although patient-hookup information suggests a configuration for Late Potential (Micropotential) analysis, the present sample rate precludes application of the Recorder for this purpose. Higher sample rates in later models are expected to permit use of recordings for Late Potential analysis.

Batteries
Observe battery polarity when installing batteries in the Recorder. Do not attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Do not throw batteries into a fite. Follow the battery manufacturers instructions for use and recharging of batteries.

Standards Compliance
The Model 463 DigiCordeP is designed and manufactured to meet the following standards and requirements: IEC 601-l (Medical Electrical Equipment; General Requirements for Safety) IEC 601-l-2 (Medical Electrical Equipment; Electromagnetic Compatibility) UL!544 (Medical and Dental Equipment)

Classifications

INTRODUCTION

THE PATIENT HOOKUP

Steps in preparing the patient for the Holter test are:

1.
2. 3. 4.

Prepare selected electrode sites on the patients skin, then apply electrodes to prepared sites. Connect leads to the electrodes and to the patient cable, then test the hookup. Instruct the patient on how to use the Recorder and how to cooperate in obtaining a useful test. Install the Recorder on the patient and start the recording.

This section contains information to determine whether or not a problem is caused by improper hookup materials or configuration. Refer to the Users Guide (AVPUB 93-18) for complete Patient hookup Information.

PERFORMING THE PATIENT HOOKUP

NOTE Proper placement and application of electrodes is essential for a highquality ECG recording. The technician must carefully follow instructions for electrode placement and application and for testing the patient hookup. The tintian should use only leadwire sets furnished with the recorder and otherwise available from Del Mar Avionics, and defined in Table 3-1, or other leadwires designed to the DIN 42-802 standard. The type of hookup used may be determined by the type and scope of information desired from the Hoher test. Two different patient cables and snap-lead sets are available from Del Mar for use with the DigiCorder. Table 3-1 characterizes each type. Table 3-2 defines patient cable/lead set combinations and compatible electrode positions illustrated in figures 3-l through 3-4. These figures define channel, polarity, lead color, and electrode placement or location.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model 433 DigiCorder, a three-channel Holter Recorder, amplifies and digitizes ECG voltages &om electrodes on the body surface. The digital data is stored on a hard disk or on monolithic electronic memory (flash card). The digitized ECG data is stored continuously for up to 24 hours. At the rate of 128 samples per second, utilizing an &bit sample for each of three channels of data, approximately 33 megabytes of storage are required. The Recorder uses either a hard drive module of 105 megabytes, or a flash card of 40 megabytes. These storage devices are removable, PCMCIA-standard devices. When recording is completed, the memory device is removed from the recorder and plugged into a docking module in the Holter Analyzer System. The ECG and other data are transferred to the analysis system for analysis and report generation.

The system block diagram, figure 4-1, shows the major functional blocks of the D&&order. Refer to that drawing to aid in understanding the following paragraphs. This drawing is included, along with other drawings referred to in this chapter, at the end of this manual. The signal conditioning amplifier on the Amplifier Assembly is connected to the ECG electrodes on the patient. With Central Processor Unit (CPU) controlling bandwidth and gain, these signals go to the analog-to-digital converter on the CPU assembly. The sample rate of the programmable A/D converter is fixed, in the current software, at 128 samples per second. The amplifier assembly contains its own power supply to convert the battery voltage to 52.5 volts to operate the analog circuits. The CPU, with program information stored both in the BIOS EPROM and in files on the memory device, controls. DigiCorder operation. The static memory (RAM) on the CPU assembly stores up to 10 minutes of ECG before it is written to the memory device. RAM also stores parts of the operating programs copied from the removable memory device. The Front Panel Assembly contains three push-button switches; SELECT, MODE and ADVANCE, which are used for Recorder preparation, setup and Programming. During the recording period, pressing any one of these switches causes a patient event mark to be recorded. The LCD on this assembly is used for user instructions during preparation, setup and programming. During the recording period the display shows time of day. The beeper provides audible feedback when buttons are pressed and for error warnings during self-tests.

Model 483 DiaiCorder

The Power Supply Assembly converts battery voltage to +5V for all digital circuits and to power the memory device. Figure 4-2, the DigiCorder Interconnect diagram, shows the interconnection of all signals and power between the PWAs of the DigiCorder.

DICKORDER PWAS
The following paragraphs describe the function of each printed wiring assembly (l?WA) in the DigiCorder.

Amplifier Assembly, PWA 26515

The block diagram, figure 4-3, illustrates circuits of either Channel 1 or Channel 3. Although the diagram shows circuits to detect and regenerate a pacer pulse, this function is not implemented in the current product. Circuits for Channel 2 are identical to those in the diagram except that pacer pulse circuits are omitted. The schematic diagram for this assembly is figure 4-4. Figure 4-5 shows the PWA outline and component locations on the PWA. The frequency control input from the CPU adjusts the bandwidth of all channels simultaneously. The gain of each channel can be changed, individually, by the CPU.

Input Amplifier This

amplifier has a high impedance differential input and a single-ended output. One potentiometer adjusts gain between 9.7 and 11.5 to calibrate the overall gain of the channel to 1000. Another potentiometer adjusts Common Mode Rejection to a maximum value. The minimum value is 80 dB. Input amplifiers are identical for all channels.

High Pass Filter, 0.05 Hz This filter removes

the DC offset generated by the bioelectric electrodes on the patients shin. This DC voltage is the result of a battery effect and can be as high as 300 mV.

Programmable Low Pass Filter

The high-frequency response of this amplifier is program-controlled by the CPU. In the current version, the high-frequency response is set at 50 Hz. When higher sampling rates are used in later versions, the high-frequency limit may be increased to 150 Hz or 500 Hz.

Programmable Gain Amplifier

The gain of this amplifier is program-controlled by an output from the CPU. The ECG is monitored during patient hookup. If the ECG in any channel has an amplitude near 5 mV peak-to-peak, the operator can reduce channel gain by one-half. The lower gain prevents high-amplitude ECG signals encountered in some patients fiorn saturating the recording.

CPU Assembly, PWA 26528

Figure 4-6 is the block diagram for the CPU PWA, and figure 4-7 is the schematic diagram for this assembly. The assembly contains a microprocessor, static and EPROM memory, a time-of-day and date clock, a programmable divider, hardware to support a PCMCIA port for interface with a hard drive or flashcard, and address decoding and other support logic. The CPU assembly also contains the analog-to-digital converter to digitize the three channels of ECG. Figure 4-8 shows the layout of components on the PWA.

Block Diagram All the components in this block are interconnected by three main buses;

the 16-bit data bus, the 20-bit address bus and a control bus. The microprocessor can send or receive data from all units on the bidirectional data bus. The address bus contains the addresses generated by the microprocessor. Information on this bus determines which units of the CPU board will receive data from, or send data to the microprocessor. This PWA is a complete computer that can execute stored programs. When computer power is applied, the computer executes program code stored in the EPROM, a read-only memory. This code initializes the CPU, performs self-test and puts the first display on the LCD. The EPROM also contains software routines for reading and writing to the memory device. Program code can be copied from the memory device into static RAM (SRAM) and be executed to perform various operations. The ECG data samples are also stored until approximately 10 minutes of data samples have been accumulated, at which time the hard disk is turned on and the data samples are transferred to the hard disk. If flashcard memory is used, lo-minute samples buffered in static RAM are written to that medium.

Microprocessor
The V35 microprocessor is a highly integrated 16-bit processor using an instruction set almost identical to that of 8088- and 80X86-series processors. Some of the hardware functions integrated onto this microprocessor unit are two serial ports, a programmable DMA controller, a programmable interrupt controller, a counter timer, a parallel port with a comparator and a time base counter.

Technical Descridiun

Model 483 DiaiCorder

The microprocessor has a sleep mode which is used to save power when the processor has completed current operations. It is revived from the sleep mode when a new sample is available from the analog-to-digital converter, or by pushbutton operation. The serial RS-232 ports of the microprocessor are used only for test and setup at this time. In the current product, the microprocessors RS-232 serial ports are used only for test and setup. These ports may be used in future upgrades to connect to a printer, modem or fax. The parallel port of the microprocessor interfaces with the three tint panel pushbuttons, the EEPRQM, and the amplifier board bandwidth and gain controls. The comparator port contains an analog-to-digital converter that monitors the auxiliary battery that powers the time-of-day and date clock on the CPU card. Three main buses connect the microprocessor to the rest of the system: the 20-bit address bus, the 16-bit data bus and the control bus. The control bus handles information such as memory read, memory write, lj0 read, I;/0 write, the interrupt signals, and NIM and Reset signals and others.

ROM
The read-only memory (ROM) contains program data to initialize the microprocessor, perform self-tests, control the LCD, respond to the &ont panel pushbuttons and read and write to the memory device In response to LCD prompts or pushbutton operation, programs are loaded into SRAM from the memory device and executed to perform many functions. In general, programs are executed by a combination of program data in the ROM and program data copied from the memory device. a

SRAM
The static random access memory, SRAM, contains program data copied from the memory device using routines stored in the ROM, and stores samples of the ECG data digitized by the analog-to-digital converter. These samples are accumulated for about 10 minutes (230K samples at 128 samples per second for each of three channels), then the hard disk is spun-up and the samples are copied to it. This process continues while ECG data is recorded. Ihe SRAM also provides temporarily storage of other information, including patient events, during recording. This data is transferred to hard disk for permanent storage.

PCMCIA Port
This port interfaces with the memory device. The memory device is either a PCMCIA Type III hard drive, 40 megabytes or larger, or a flash card of 40 megabytes or larger. A flash card contains nonvolatile semiconductor RAM.

Service Manual

Modal 483 DigiCorcisr

Technical Desuiptii

The PCMCIA standard defines the mechanical and electrical parameter of the interface. All ECG data samples are stored on the memory device. At the completion of the test, the device is removed &om the recorder and plugged into a PCMCIA port on a Holter analyzer system. The ECG data samples are transferred to the hard disk in the analyzer for analysis and report generation.

Time of Day and Date Clock

The 32.763KHz crystal drives the clock. The clock connects to the microprocessor buses through which it can be set and read by the microprocessor. When the DigiCorder battery is removed, the clock is powered by the internal auxiliary battery. Once set, the clock keeps time and date until the auxiliary battery is removed or exhausted. The auxiliary battery will last for more than two years.

Programmable Divider This divider

counts down the 32.76%KHz crystal frequency to generate required clock frequencies under control of the microprocessor. One output causes the analog-to-digital converter to sample the ECG data. In the current program, this rate is 128 samples per second. Future models will generate 256 samples per second for high resolution ECG data, and 1000 samples per second to acquire ECG data for micropotential analysis. A wide variety of sample rates are possible for other applications. Another output &om this divider provides the audio tones produced by the beeper at various times during operation.

Analog-to-Digital Converter This is a 12-bit, four-channel,

low-power analog-to-digital converter with built-in sample-and-hold. Three channels serve the three ECG data channels, and the fourth channel samples the main battery voltage. The digital data output is connected to the &bit data bus through which la-bit data is acquired by successive reads. The conversion process begins with the clock signal from the programmable counter. At the end of the conversion cycle, the end-of-conversion signal from the converter wakens the microprocessor from the sleep mode. The microprocessor then stores the data samples, checks to see if it is time to load data to the memory device, checks for the presence of patient events and does some other housekeeping functions. It then resumes the sleep mode waiting for the next end-of-conversion signal from the analog-to-digital converter.

Power Supply
The output of the g-volt battery typically varies from 9.4 volts (new), to 7.0 volts at the end of a 24-hour monitoring period.
The DigiCorder contins two DC-to-DC power converters. One supplies

S-volt power to digital circuits, and the other supplies power to analog circuits. The analog and digital supply circuits are mutually isolated except for a common ground. Most battery power is consumed by the digital circuits. The CPU clock and hard drive start-up, spin-up, and spin-down cycles produce some noise in the 5-volt supply. The digital circuit supply, located on the Power Supply PWA, regulates to 4.85 volts with an efficiency of 90 percent. The analog power supply, located on the Amplifier PWA, is protected both mechanically and electrically to prevent damage from inadvertent reversal of battery polarity as the battery is installed. Shown in figure 4-9, dual P-Channel MOSFETs (U2 and U3), in line with input power, protect the converter circuit. The converter comprises the step-down switching regulator Ul, P-channel MOSFET U4, N-channel MOSFET U5, diode CRl, 68qH inductor Ll, 220qF capacitor C5, and resistors Rl and R3 which determine the regulated voltage level (4.8557 ).

TAKING CARE OF THE RECORDER

The DigiCorder@ Recorder has no moving parts and requires no routine maintenance other than cleaning prior to each use.

Clean the Recorder c88e and rechargeable battery, if applicable, using only a clean soft cloth moistened with a mild disinfectant. Do not permit any cleaning fluid to flow within the Recorder case. Clean electrode leads using a clean soft cloth moistened with a mild disinfectant.

BAlTERY MANAGEMENT
Do not permit batteries to remain in the Recorder but remove them at the end of each test. Discard used disposable batteries as they are removed to prevent their inadvertent re-installation for another patient. CAUTION Old batteries may leak and cause serious damage to the recorder. As a rechargeable battery is removed from the Recorder, immediately tag the battery pack as discharged, then put it directly on a compatible recharger (for example, Ambico Model V-0917). A suitable recharger should be found in stores selling Camcorders. Recharge the battery in accordance with recommendations of the recharger manufacturer. It is a. good idea to label rechargeable batteries as freshly charged or uncharged. Make sure that battery terminals are clean before installing the batteries in the Recorder. Clean terminals by wiping with a clean cloth. The internal Lithium battery will eventually be depleted. This will be indicated by failure of the Recorder to maintain time-of-day. To replace the Lithium battery, perform the following steps:
