CPET INFO

Info Peripherals: Bluetooth Connection [Vyntus ECG, Polar Wearlink, BT SMART]

General Remark:
For combining different medical devices, at least in Europe an “Article 12 declaration” is needed.
This exists for all the devices which we are selling together or as an option to Vyntus CPX, however it does not
(yet) exist for a lot of a lot of other peripheral devices, even we have the communication driver available in our
software.
If “you” combine such systems without an Article 12 declaration, “you” will get the manufacturer and “you” take
over the full responsibility for the whole medical system

General remark to this document:

This document describes the different drivers and adaptations for peripheral devices together with SentrySuite.
As we don’t have all devices available, not all systems could be tested completely, and there may be other devices as well which are
compatible with one of the existing drivers.
Therefore, any additional info, comment or suggestion to this document is highly appreciated and welcome.

Thanks for your support

COM-port.

Important note:
If the ECG is paired, never start the pairing mode on the ECG again.
