During extended periods of storage, charging the batteries is required to achieve the specified performance. 3.5.3 Safe Usage of the SPEAC System While Monitoring 3.5.3.1 Electro-Static Discharge Shock The SPEAC Detection Device is an internally powered device when it is ON and operating in the Monitor Mode (both LEDs are solid green). The SPEAC Detection Device enclosure is marked with the internationally accepted symbol for a Type BF Applied Part indicating all of the applied parts are electrically isolated from ground. The patient and operator are safe from electrostatic discharge shock. Figure 3J. The SPEAC Detection Device in the Shower 3.5.3.2 Ingress Protection When a SPEAC Detection Device is attached to the patient as instructed and its USB door is closed and locked, the SPEAC Detection Device meets the IP47 classification. The SPEAC Detection Device in Monitor Mode (both LEDs are solid green) will limit the intrusion of solid materials as small as dust-sized particles and will withstand exposure to splashing water from any direction. Having said this, you must never expose the SPEAC Detection Device to high-pressure water jets. Also, never allow the SPEAC Detection Device to be submerged in any liquid while powered on. Contact Brain Sentinel if the SPEAC Detection Device or SPEAC Laptop Base Station has been submerged. Do not attempt to use or service a SPEAC Detection Device or SPEAC Laptop Base Station that has been submerged. Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 24 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 3.5.3.3 Temperature of the Applied Parts The temperature of the SPEAC Systems applied parts (those applied to the patients biceps and arm) should never exceed 35C or 95 F. In normal conditions, the temperature of the applied parts will approach the skin temperature of the patient. If the surface temperature of any applied part is hot when touched, immediately detach the SPEAC Detection Device and turn it off and contact Brain Sentinel. 3.5.4 Safe Usage of the SPEAC System While Charging or During Configuration 3.5.4.1 Electro-Static Discharge Shock When the SPEAC Detection Device is detached from the Electrode patch, or the USB connector and the three electrode connections are accessible to the patient and/or operator, the basic safety of the SPEAC Detection Device is the same as when it is attached to the Electrode. Typically, the SPEAC Detection Device will be connected to the SPEAC Laptop Base Station for charging when it is not in the Monitor Mode (both LEDs are solid green). Charging can only be done by connecting the SPEAC Detection Device to the SPEAC Laptop Base Station with the USB cable provided. When the SPEAC Detection Device is connected to the SPEAC Laptop Base Station for charging, the required isolation for safety is maintained because the AC Adapter and SPEAC Laptop Base Station meet the requirements of Class II Medical Electrical Equipment. 3.5.4.2 Ingress Protection The SPEAC System meets the IP22 classification when the SPEAC Detection Device is in the Charge Mode (when the USB door of the SPEAC Detection Device is open and connected to the USB cable). Solid material as small dust sized particles will have limited intrusion to the interior of the SPEAC Detection Device enclosure through the USB door. The USB connector and the electrode connections are accessible and the SPEAC Detection Device enclosure will only limit the intrusion of water to falling drops and light sprays. When the SPEAC Detection Device is in the Charge/Configuration mode, position the SPEAC Detection Device with the front surface facing up. This will restrict any liquid from accumulating on the rear surface near the USB connector and the electrode connections. The SPEAC Detection Device meets the IP47 classification when the SPEAC Detection Device is in Monitor Mode (USB Door closed). However, if the SPEAC Detection Device is submerged, it will be at risk of taking in water, permanently damaging the SPEAC Detection Device and preventing it from being able to monitor for GTC seizures. Further, while the SPEAC Detection Device is submerged, it cannot monitor or alarm for GTC seizures. 3.5.4.3 Temperature of the SPEAC Detection Device, Laptop Base Station and AC Adapter The parts of the SPEAC Detection Device in the Charge/Configuration Mode are not Applied Parts. In normal room temperature and conditions, the temperature of the SPEAC Detection Device, SPEAC Laptop Base Station, and AC adapter should never exceed 35C.

Sections 4.1.4 4.1.6 of this User Manual are included for you to use along with the Wizard videos. 4.1.4 The Importance of Your Biceps Before using one of the pre-charged Detection Devices, you need to prepare your biceps. Your SPEAC Detection Device works by continuously sensing and monitoring your surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. The Detection Device reads and records 1,000 sEMG samples every second. Then our SparkSenseTM diagnostic algorithm analyzes those samples looking for tonic-clonic muscle activity that is indicative of generalized tonic-clinic seizures. The continuous analysis and storage of your real-time EMG activity is why we say that the SPEAC System is ready to speak for you during a seizure, and again when you visit your doctor. Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 28 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 Figure 4E. The Setup and Settings Wizard The only place for the SPEAC Detection Device is on your biceps, specifically what is known as the belly of the biceps as seen in Figure 4.C. To find it, flex your elbow. The belly of the biceps is the thickest part of the muscle, about halfway between your shoulder and elbow. When properly placed, the electrodes on the Detection Device are recording your biceps activity 1,000 times a second. This helps the SPEAC System stay on top of changes from your normal EMG patterns that might be indicative of a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The electrode patch should never be applied to irritated or broken skin. Please consult your physician if skin irritation should occur with use of this product. 4.1.5 Attaching the Detection Device to Your Biceps Before using one of the pre-charged SPEAC Detection Devices, you need to prepare your biceps. Your doctor may recommend whether you should place the Detection Device on your right or left biceps, or if either is acceptable. You must first prepare your skin over your biceps before placing the SPEAC Detection Device on it. To do so, you need to remove the naturally occurring oils on the surface of your skin to ensure that the electrode patch stays properly attached to your arm. Find the wipes that came with your SPEAC System and gently wipe the skin on top of your biceps. Do not use alcohol to clean your skin. Alcohol will react with the electrode gel and cause severe skin irritation. Once your skin is prepared, take an electrode patch from the supply you were sent. Turn the Detection Device over and secure all three snaps in the sockets. Youll hear a small click when you put them in. Dont turn on the Detection Device just yet or else the alarm will sound. Figure 4F. Electrode Patch placement in the SPEAC Detection Device sockets Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 29 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 Once the electrode patch is snapped in correctly, remove the plastic covering. This will expose the adhesive. Take a cotton swab, dip it in water, and moisten the gel on each of the three grey electrode contacts, twice. Now take the SPEAC Detection Device and place it on your biceps, holding it firmly against your biceps for five (5) seconds. As mentioned before you must place it on the belly of the biceps not on the side, and not above or below the belly of the biceps. Remember, the electrode patch should never be applied to irritated or broken skin. Figure 4G. Moistening the Electrode Gels The adhesive on the electrode patch will generally last up to 24 hours. If the contact with your skin becomes poor, the Loose Electrode alarm will sound. Remember that you are still not being monitored, but you soon will be soon after you calibrate the electrode. Now, check the time and take note. The electrode gel needs 5 minutes to absorb the water you just applied to it so the Detection Device can properly monitor you. So, start a five minute countdown as soon as you have the SPEAC Detection Device properly placed on your biceps. 4.1.6 The Electrode Setup Process In order for the surface electrodes to work properly, you must calibrate every new electrode patch you place on the SPEAC Detection Device. Not doing so could result in you not being monitored properly. Before proceeding, make sure that 1. The SPEAC Detection Device is OFF 2. The CradlePoint Wireless Router is turned ON 3. The SPEAC Detection Device is adhered properly to your biceps Now the equipment is ready for you to move ahead to set up the electrodes. Turn on the SPEAC Detection Device by pressing the small button located on the top, as seen in Figure 4H. When you press it, youll hear a sound. A series of lights will flash and after a moment, both lights will turn green to indicate that it is connected wirelessly to the SPEAC Laptop Base Station. If the lights dont turn green, double-check that the SPEAC Laptop Base Station is connected to the CradlePoint Wireless Router. Do not proceed past this step until both lights on your Detection Device are green. If you need immediate assistance, please call Brain Sentinel at 1-855-275-5424. The final step in getting your SPEAC Detection Device Figure 4H. SPEAC Detection Device ON/OFF Button ready for use is setting up the electrode. This is part of helping the SPEAC System know the difference between a generalized tonic-clonic seizure and your normal activity. It also helps calibrate the SPEAC Detection Device to background electrical noise. Once five (5) minutes have passed (as indicated in Section 4.1.4) for the gel to absorb the water, relax the arm that has the SPEAC Detection Device on it. During this setup, dont flex your biceps muscles. Its best to have your arm simply hanging at your side. On the SPEAC Laptop Base Station screen you will see a button for the Electrode Setup. Press it, then click Begin Electrode Setup and for the next 10 seconds, the SPEAC System will be taking your EMG measurements. You can see the status on the screen while the three electrodes are automatically setup for you. Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 30 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 Correct EMG analysis relies on the characteristics of the electrode/skin interface. When a new electrode patch is applied to the patient, these characteristics must be measured to make certain the proper compensations are provided. These measurements are required at each electrode change. During this procedure, the patients EMG levels at rest will be measured. When you see the "Electrode Setup is Complete" message, click the Dismiss button. You are now being monitored for generalized tonic-clonic seizure activity. Remember the electrode setup process must be completed whenever you apply a new electrode. 4.1.7 Electrode Patch Adhesive and Your Skin Ongoing use of the electrode patch may irritate your skin. To minimize this, it is important to take care when applying and removing the electrode patch. Here are a few tips. Tips for applying the adhesive electrode patch Apply an alcohol-free skin protectant to protect skin prior to applying the Adhesive Patch. (Please contact Brain Sentinel, Inc. for a list of skin protectants) Allow all skin protectants to dry thoroughly before applying the Adhesive Patch Recommended procedures for removing Adhesive Patch Loosen the edges of the Adhesive Patch With the fingers of the opposite hand, push the skin down and away from the adhesive electrode patch, then Peel the adhesive electrode patch low and slow back over itself, keeping it horizontal and close to the skin surface As the adhesive electrode patch is removed, continue moving fingers of the opposite hand as necessary to support newly exposed skin You may want to loosen the adhesive bond by slow and careful removal of the adhesive electrode patch using water-soaked cotton balls to continuously wet the adhesive-skin interface Use proper removal technique to avoid skin injury. Injury can be caused by quick removal of the Adhesive Patch at a high angle (perpendicular to the skin). Injury can also be caused by not holding the skin at the peel line when removing the Adhesive Patch. 4.2 Configure the SPEAC System Alarm Settings The SPEAC System has both Seizure Alarms and System Operational Alarms. Through the SPEAC BaseStationApp, you can configure Alarm tones Alarm tone volumes Silence times for Operational Alarms (similar to a Snooze button on an alarm clock) Alarm grace time periods (how long before a seizure alarm goes off once detected) The Alarm Settings are accessed from the Configuration window. Select the Setup and Settings Setup Wizard button in the bottom right of the application window and then select the Alert Settings tab to configure the tones generated for the alarms, and the silence and grace time periods. Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 31 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 Figure 4G. SPEAC System Alert Settings The default settings for the alarm settings are shown above. These will be configured by the physicians office and should not be changed. 4.2.1. Alarm Tones and Volume Levels There are five alarm tones available in the SPEAC System. The default selections will result in unique tones for each of the alarm conditions and should not be changed. The default volume levels are set to High for all alarm conditions. But Medium and Low options are available. If you mute the alarm tones, the SPEAC System will automatically turn them back on to medium level. 4.2.2. Silence Time There are three (3) Operational Alarms that will go off if something is preventing the SPEAC System from working properly. These alarms are the Electrode which sounds when the electrode patch is not adhered properly to the skin Battery which sounds when the rechargeable battery is critically low and needs to be recharged Out of Range which sounds when the SPEAC Detection Device is outside of the Wi-Fi coverage zone and cannot connect to the rest of the SPEAC System Figure 4I. Example of Operational Alarm with Silence Button on the SPEAC Laptop Base Station You have the option to Silence these alarms temporarily when they go off. However, the only way to permanently turn these alarms off is to resolve the underlying cause that set them off. For these alarms, the resolution for each is Electrode: Adhere the electrode patch properly to the patients skin, which should be on the belly of the biceps. This may involve changing the electrode patch for a new one and/or putting on the SPEAC Arm Strap. Battery: Change out the battery for the charged one attached to the SPEAC Laptop Base Station Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 32 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 Out of Range: Return to the covered Wi-Fi zone. It is important to know where these boundaries are in your home. Three Silence Lag Time options (1, 5 and 15 minutes), are available for these Operational Alarms. In addition, the SPEAC Laptop Base Station will also visually display and sound for these alarms. When this happens, a Silence button will appear, allowing you to silence the alarm until you can resolve the issue and continue being monitored. Note: The SPEAC Detection Device Critical Battery Alarm cannot be silenced or snoozed, and the alarm sound will start as soon as the alarm condition is received by the Base Station. 4.2.3. Seizure Alarm Grace Time The Seizure Grace Time is the delay between when a Seizure Alarm is received by the SPEAC Laptop Base Station and when the Seizure Alarm sound is generated. Select one of four Seizure Grace Time settings: 0, 10, 15, or 20 seconds. 4.2.4. Operational Alert Grace Time When a Loose Electrode or Wi-Fi connection Alarm is received by the SPEAC Laptop Base Station, the alarm sound will be delayed by the time selected in the Alarm Grace Time column. Select one of four Alarm Grace Time settings: 0, 1, 2 or 5 minutes. 4.2.5. Night Mode In order to help you sleep soundly, you have the option to dim the LED lights on the SPEAC Detection Device at night. Dimming the lights puts the SPEAC Detection Device in Night Mode. This option is located at the bottom of SPEAC BaseStationApp as shown below in Figure 4J.

However, the range within a building or dwelling will vary based on their size, shape and type of building material. These differences in home construction can affect the safe and effective monitoring range for Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures. Upon first setup in a Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 33 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 new location, you should take the following steps to ensure your awareness of the monitoring range in each new environment. Slowly walk away from the router, monitoring the Wi-Fi status LED, and perform the following 1. 2. 3. Go to commonly occupied areas of the home. Walk the perimeters of each commonly used room. Next, walk the perimeter of each floor. Note: Not all routers will achieve the same range of communication, the previous steps should also be performed when using a different router or when changing to a new router. 4.3.1. Troubleshooting Lost Wi-Fi Connections with the Detection Device If the SPEAC Detection Device has lost communication with the SPEAC Laptop Base Station the Wi-Fi status LED will cease to illuminate green, and will begin to flash. If this happens, during any of the previous steps, you can do one of two things; note where the loss of connection takes place and avoid this area while being monitored for Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures, or contact Brain Sentinel at 1-

All Rights Reserved. 48 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 5. The additional SPEAC Detection Device should always be connected to SPEAC Laptop Base Stations USB for charging and transferring the collected EMG data. After the SPEAC Detection Device is connected to the SPEAC Laptop Base Stations USB port, both status LEDs will turn off. 4.9 Maintaining the SPEAC System for Optimal Performance The patient and other users are expected to perform the routine maintenance of the SPEAC System described in the following sections. The rechargeable internal battery of the SPEAC Detection Device and the electrode sockets integrated into the SPEAC Detection Device require scheduled service after 500 days of use. All other components of the SPEAC Detection Device will be evaluated at this time. Contact Brain Sentinel to arrange for service of your SPEAC System. See Section 5 for contact information. 4.9.1 Cleaning All maintenance described below should only be performed while the Detection Device is NOT in use. The exterior surfaces of the SPEAC System can be cleaned with a soft clean cloth, a paper towel dampened with 70% Isopropyl alcohol or disinfecting wipes. Lightly rub the exterior surfaces of the SPEAC components: SPEAC Detection Device, SPEAC Laptop Base Station, AC Adapter, and USB cable and power cord. Remove any standing alcohol with a dry cloth or paper towel. Do apply any liquid to the USB connector of the SPEAC Detection Device. 4.9.2 Battery Maintenance Maintaining the SPEAC Detection Device batteries charged at all times is critical for their ongoing proper performance. Like most rechargeable batteries, the SPEAC Detection Device battery should be charged at least once every 4-6 weeks or kept at 50% charged when not being used. Fully charged batteries discharge when they are left unused and will lose effectiveness if they are left fully discharged for longer than four (4) weeks. Maintaining their charge will prolong the life of the batteries. Charge the battery after each monitoring session. When the battery is fully charged, the battery can supply power for a 24-hour monitoring session. The time to charge a fully discharged battery is less than 6 hours. The internal rechargeable battery used in the SPEAC Detection Device has a minimum of 500 charge-
discharge cycles. Temperature is a key factor in the batterys performance over its life. Never charge the SPEAC Detection Device if the ambient temperature is below 32 F (0 C) or above 113 F (45 C). Operating (or discharge) temperature should be not be below 0 F (-18 C) or above 113 F (45 C). The rechargeable battery used in the SPEAC Detection Device can only be replaced by authorized personnel from Brain Sentinel. If properly used and maintained, the expected service life of the battery will meet the three-year expected service life of the SPEAC System. Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved. 49 24-Hour Customer and Technical Support Available 1-855-275-5424 4.9.3 Electrode Socket Maintenance Prior to insertion of a new electrode patch into the Electrode Sockets, inspect each socket for discoloring spots. Clear any debris or foreign materials. The force applied by the electrode retaining snap will eventually reduce during normal use. Tests have shown the snap is capable of effectively retaining the electrode beyond 500 cycles. Figure 4O. SPEAC Detection Device Electrode Sockets 4.9.4 SPEAC Detection Device Enclosure/Case Maintenance Inspect the exterior for cracks and the interface between the front and rear enclosure halves. See Figure 4.9.4. If defects are found, do not use the SPEAC Detection Device and immediately contact Brain Sentinel for a replacement. Figure 4P. SPEAC Detection Device Enclosure 4.9.5 Electrode Patch Maintenance Replacement of the electrode patch is required when the skin-to-electrode contact does not provide adequate EMG signal quality to the SPEAC Detection Devices electrical connections. The SPEAC Detection Device continually monitors whether the electrode-to-skin contact is adequate to detect generalized tonic-clonic seizure conditions. When it is inadequate, the SPEAC Detection Device issues an alarm to the patient and operator. The skin-to-electrode contact is maintained by the hydrogel applied to the electrodes and the adhesive that bonds the electrode patch to the patients skin. Over time, the adhesive will degrade and the hydrogel will dry causing intermittent connection of the electrodes to the patients skin causing an inadequate electrode-to-skin condition. Dispose of the used electrode patch as regular household waste. 4.9.6 Expected Service Life Expected service life of the SPEAC System is three years. Copyright Brain Sentinel, Inc. 2015.
