2. Introduction
CS System 4 includes a watch (CS Watch 3), a charging cradle, a mobile
application (CS4 Mobile app) and a cloud portal (CS4 Cloud app).
The CS Watch 3 is a wrist-worn medical device that measures the user’s heart
rate, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood saturation (SpO2), and detects
atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) by reading and analyzing the user’s PPG and ECG
values.
The CS4 Mobile app is installed on the user’s smartphone and used to setup the
user’s account and enter personal information. The smartphone communicates
with the CS Watch 3 via Bluetooth® pairing. Proper Use of CS System 4
The CS4 Cloud app securely stores the user and processed data over designated
databases. It provides the mechanism of creating and sending periodical
reports which are sent to the user’s email both automatically and on-demand.
This manual provides the information necessary to setup and use the CS System
4. It is important to read the manual to understand the CS System 4 and
properly setup the mobile application before using the device.
CS System 4 Overview
The CS System 4 is a wearable device intended for use in adult patients in
home environments, hospitals, hospital-type facilities and transport. The
system collects intermittent data of physiological parameters, when no motion
is detected, such as beat-by-beat Heart Rate (HR), Respiration Rate (RR),
Blood O2 saturation (SpO2) and single-channel electrocardiogram rhythm (ECG)
with no interpretation. The data is processed and displayed by the system. The
device may be connected to external medical devices, and directly display
their measurements results.
The user can generate an ECG measurement report that can be saved and shared
with medical professionals.
The system does not provide any alarms; the results should be interpreted only
by healthcare professionals.
CS System 4 Technology
Combining off-the-shelf ECG electrodes and unique PPG sensors with proprietary
algorithms, CS System 4 can detect the presence of A-Fib and notify the user.
In addition to A-Fib detection, CS System 4 continuously monitors the user’s
pulse rate. The CardiacSense unique PPG sensor compensates for the
interference caused by hand, palm, and finger movement, which is the primary
source of false notifications.
For more details on A-Fib, ECG, and PPG, see the Appendices in Chapter 20.

RSV (Relative Stroke Volume) – The ratio of the area of a specific PPG pulse
to the area of the median PPG pulse area. RSV is denoted in percentages over
the PPG strip. PI (Perfusion Index) – The ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to
the non-pulsatile blood flow PWV (Pulse Wave Velocity) – The velocity at which
the blood pulse propagates. It may be used by your physician to estimate the
measure of arterial stiffness/health. RSI (Respiratory Stability Index) – An

About A-Fib
A-Fib is a reentrant cardiac arrhythmia marked by rapid randomized contractions of the atrial myocardium, causing an irregular, rapid atrial rate. It is recognizable on an electrocardiogram by the absence of P waves and an irregular ventricular response.
A-Fib is an independent risk factor for stroke and thromboembolism that cause mortality. Although A-Fib rates are increasing globally, improved outcomes may be achieved by complex treatment and early detection.
.1.
About ECG and PPG
ECG and PPG are the two primary technologies for measuring heart rate.
ECG (electrocardiography) uses electrodes to measure the bio-potential
generated by electrical signals that control the expansion and contraction of
heart chambers.
PPG (photoplethysmography) uses light-based technology to sense the rate of
blood flow as controlled by the heart’s pumping action.
.2.
About HR and PR
Heart rate (HR) is the number of times your heart beats in a minute.
Pulse rate (PR) is the number of times your arteries create a noticeable “pulse” due to an increase in blood pressure resulting from your heart contracting. Therefore, the pulse rate is essentially your heart rate.
.3.
About Respiratory Rate
Your respiratory rate is the number of breaths you take per minute.
The normal respiration rate for an adult at rest is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. A respiration rate under 12 or over 25 breaths per minute while resting is considered abnormal.
.4.
About SpO2
SpO2, also known as oxygen saturation, is a measure of the amount of oxygen- carrying hemoglobin in the blood relative to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen. Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 95100 %.
