Introduction

Warnings and Notes

Please read this manual and follow its instructions. The words WARNING and NOTE carry special meanings and should be reviewed carefully.

WARNING: The personal safety of the patient may be involved. Disregarding this information could result in injury to the patient.

NOTE: This provides additional important information the user should be aware of.

INTENDED USE

The MY01 Continuous Compartmental Pressure Monitor is intended for real-time and continuous measurement of compartmental pressures. The measured compartmental pressures can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of compartment syndrome. The trend arrows displayed are meant for qualitative purposes only and are not intended to have any clinical significance. The MY01 Mobile Application is an optional application intended for storing and displaying identical pressure values from the MY01 Continuous Compartmental Pressure Monitor device. The data is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be used for diagnosis of any nature or active patient monitoring.

APPLICATION DESCRIPTION

The MY01 Mobile Application is an optional application intended for storing and displaying identical pressure values from the MY01 Continuous Compartmental Pressure Monitor device. The data is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be used for diagnosis of any nature or active patient monitoring. The MY01 Mobile Application does not control the MY01 Continuous Compartmental Pressure Monitor in any way.

APPLICATION FEATURES

The MY01 Mobile Application only allows users with valid login credentials to access the software application. The MY01 Mobile Application home screen displays a list of MY01 devices by device unique identifier. The user can securely connect to a device via BLE by tapping on the device unique identifier. Once securely connected, the pressure data points are sent over an encrypted BLE link from the MY01 device. The MY01 Mobile Application displays the latest pressure data point as a duplicate display (Figure 10). The full pressure log can also be seen as a graph (Figure 11). Pressure data points are forwarded via an encrypted network link to a Cloud-based service (MY01 Application Server) for archival purposes. The data stored by the MY01 Mobile Application can be later retrieved.

APPLICATION DOWNLOAD

CONNECTING TO THE MY01 DEVICE

Open the MY01 Mobile Application and pull down to scan for nearby advertising MY01 devices. Each entry in the list contains the unique MY01 Device identifier. Verify that the unique identifier displayed on the application matches the one displayed on the MY01 device’s LCD top-left corner.

Figure 8: Refreshing the Device List

Tap on a device entry to connect to the MY01 device. If connecting for the first time, a Bluetooth pairing request will appear. Confirm that the pairing PIN displayed on the application matches the pairing PIN displayed on the MY01 device’s LCD. Click on the “Pair” button to confirm and connect.

Figure 9: Pairing the Device

Once connected to a MY01 device, a Bluetooth mark will appear next to the MY01 device unique identifier. Pressure data transmission will begin shortly after connection.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS 

Step 1: Peel the Tyvek lid where indicated. Lift the top cover and remove the device from the packaging. While holding the Introducer, remove Needle Cap before turning on the device

  • WARNING: Do not use the device if the Sensor is found unhooked from the Needle after opening the package. Never attempt to re-assemble the device. 

  • WARNING: Do not use the device if the integrity of the packaging is compromised. 

Step 2: Activate the Pressure Monitor by pressing HARD and holding the Push-Button until the MY01 logo appears. The Display will subsequently show the MY01 logo and a pressure value of 0.

  • Note: Avoid short presses on the push-button prior to turning on the Device.

  • Note: Make sure to not touch the sensor tip while turning on the device

  • WARNING: Always turn ON the device BEFORE introducing into the patient. 

  • WARNING: Do not use the device if pressure measurements are not within -2.5 to 2.5 mmHg prior to insertion.

Step 3: Without applying excessive force on the Display, insert the Needle gently into the muscle compartment in a controlled linear motion. Markings on the Needle should be used to estimate the depth of the insertion.

NOTE: 

  • The Display can be rotated to the desired orientation to ensure visibility during the insertion.

  • Single marks are spaced along the needle at 1 cm intervals with the first located 2 cm from the Needle tip. Double marks are placed at 5 cm intervals as measured from the Needle tip.

  • Consider applying local anesthetic before insertion. Ensure there are no allergies to anesthetic use. 

  • The Introducer can be retracted and re-inserted (up to 5 total insertions) to perform additional single-point measurements without ejecting the Pressure Monitor.

  • WARNING: Always keep the Pressure Vent on the bottom-right of the screen unobstructed. 

  • WARNING: Do not use the device if the Sensor unhooks unexpectedly after removing the Needle Cap or at any point during the insertion (up to 5 single-points insertions). Never attempt to re-assemble the device. 

  • WARNING: Do not rotate the Introducer during the insertion to prevent premature Sensor unhooking. 

Step 4: When the Sensor is in the desired position and readings have stabilized, eject the Pressure Monitor from the Introducer by pressing gently through the back opening of the Introducer. An adhesive strip will be exposed on the back of the Device Body when ejected. 

Step 5: While holding the Introducer in one hand, use the other hand to adhere to the Device Body to the patient's skin using the exposed adhesive strip on the back of the Device Body. Position the Device Body face-up on the patient's skin near the insertion point, ensuring sufficient slack in the Lead-Wire. The Lead-Wire should extend straight out from the insertion site indicating the insertion angle of the Sensor. 

NOTE: 

  • Care should be taken when moving the Device Body to not pull the Lead-Wire which can displace the Sensor within the muscle compartment. 

  • `The Device Body should be installed in a location that won't interfere with adhesion during the monitoring period. 

  • It is recommended to prepare the skin appropriately to improve adhesion, especially on hairy or oily skin. 

WARNING: If the adhesive strip is not exposed after ejecting the Pressure Monitor from the Introducer, manually remove the protective liner. Do not re-apply the adhesive. Additional medical tape should be used if the location of the Device Body is changed after the first application. Ensure that the Pressure Vent (see Figure 5) is not covered by the medical tape.  

Step 6: Disengage the Sensor by rotating the Introducer by 180 degrees. Slowly remove the Introducer from the patient and dispose of it in a biohazard-sharps receptacle, as per facility guidelines. 

NOTE:

  • It is recommended to apply a dressing to the insertion site to fix the Lead-Wire in place.

WARNING: Sharps biohazard - dispose of as per facility guidelines and/or local regulations.

Step 7: Monitor pressure readings up a period of up to 18 hours. The Pressure Monitor should be routinely checked to ensure that it is secured to the patient throughout the monitoring period and that Lead-Wire does not pull on the Sensor and displace it. 

  • WARNING: Do not leave the Sensor inside the patient for a period longer than 18 hours. 

Step 8: When monitoring is complete, remove the dressing and gently pull on the Lead-Wire by hand to remove the Sensor from the patient. Dispose of the Pressure Monitor in a biohazard container, as per facility guidelines. 

Note: 

  • The Lead-Wire should be pulled out at the same angle used for insertion of the Sensor to minimize removal forces.

  • WARNING: The device is for single patient use only. Do not attempt to reassemble the device or replace the batteries after use. 

  • WARNING: Always remove the Pressure Monitor from the patient before performing a corrective procedure ( e.g. fasciotomy, amputation, debridement, skin graft).
