Introduction, Safety, and Component Overview
7BioStamp nPoint User ManualBioStamp nPoint is a wireless remote monitoring platform intended for use by healthcare professionals and researchers for the continuous collection of physiological data in healthcare and home settings. BioStamp nPoint is designed to capture objective, real-world data from study subjects participating in clinical or academic studies, and may be used wherever collection of relevant data is needed. BioStamp nPoint centers on body-worn BioStamp Sensors that can be worn for up to 24 hours at a time in both laboratory (clinic) and home settings. Investigators (either researchers or physicians) design studies and the data to be collected using a web-based study conguration tool, called the Investigator Portal. For laboratory or clinic (“Supervised”) settings, BioStamp nPoint includes a Tablet Investigator Application (“Investigator App”) to be used for the set-up and conguration of the sensors. When BioStamp nPoint is used in the home or outside of the clinic (“Remote”) setting, study subjects interact with the system through a Mobile Phone Application called the “Link App.” The recharging and data transmission hub (“Link Hub”) is used to recharge the sensors and synchronize data from the Sensors. BioStamp nPoint includes an algorithm package that delivers a dashboard presentation of processed metrics on general activity (including step count and activity classication), heart rate, heart rate variability, posture (body position relative to gravity), sleep, and respiration during sleep. The system is also capable of surface electromyography and monitoring limb and body movements during daily living and sleep. Data are transmitted wirelessly from the Sensors through the Link Hub to the MC10 Cloud for storage, processing, and analysis.System Description

The LED light in the upper right corner of the Sensor will be solid blue when charging and solid green when ready. For long-term storage, Sensors should be powered o. Sensors can be powered o using the Investigator App on the tablet. Remove the Sensor from the Link Hub before powering o. Sensors will automatically turn o 3 hours after being removed from the Link Hub if they are idle/ready for use and not set to record or if they are not ready for use. Sensor Status IndicationsSensors are equipped with a rechargeable battery. Before the Sensors can be used, the user must ensure they are fully charged. Charge Sensors Charge Sensors by placing them in the sensor pockets on the Link Hub.
20BioStamp nPoint User ManualThe adhesives are intended to adhere the Sensors to the body for up to 24 hours.Under certain conditions the provided adhesive might not be sucient (e.g. prolonged swimming, very intense exercise) to adhere the Sensors to the body for the full 24-hour wear duration. The Dorsal Foot and Dorsal Hand locations are particularly prone to adhesion issues due to the movement and body morphology of these specic areas. MC10 recommends providing an additional method of securing the Sensors to these body locations and for use during certain activities.Apply the Adhesive Stickers to SensorsEach adhesive will be pack-aged individually in a sealed foil pouch. Do not open the adhesive pouch until you are ready to apply the adhesive to the Sensor. AdhesivesBioStamp Sensors are applied to the body using disposable adhesives for attachment that also contain hydrogel to optimize electrode contact to the skin. These double-sided adhesives have a sensor-side and a skin-side and should be applied to the Sensor using the provided applicator as a guide. For locations outside of the required analytics sensor locations (see Investigator Portal Study Design), extra means to secure the sensors to the body are recommended (e.g. TegadermTM, CobanTM wrap). Note
21BioStamp nPoint User Manual1Place the adhesive applicator guide on a at surface. Fit the Sensor, electrode side up, in the applicator sensor pocket. 2Remove the labeled sensor-side liner from the adhesive sticker.3Align the two semi-circular cutouts on the bottom side of the remaining liner to the applicator peg guides, and lower the adhesive onto the Sensor.4Press down rmly for at least 10 seconds on the edges and middle of the sticker to apply the adhesive to the Sensor5Use the liner nger tabs to remove the Sensor with adhesive sticker from the applicator pocket.6Leave the remaining skin-side liner on the Sensor until you are ready to apply to the body location.
22BioStamp nPoint User ManualAlcohol wipes are not recommended as they dry the skin, which reduces adhesion and electrode signal quality. Additionally, using body lotion or other skin preparations may interfere with Sensor adhesion.Note1To apply, remove the re-maining skin-side liner from the Sensor and adhesive. Be careful not to touch the adhesive or electrode area. 2Place the Sensor on the target body location. Press rmly on the Sensor for at least 10 seconds. Apply SensorThe Sensor should stay in place by itself. If necessary, it can be secured by a secondary method such as an adherent wrap or tape. Do not wear the Sensor and adhesive for more than 24 hours without changing the adhesive and cleaning and recharging the Sensor.NoteApplying Sensors to BodyDuring Remote Studies, the subject may refer to the Link App and the Subject Instructions for Use for Sensor application and removalinstructions. Skin PreparationProper skin preparation improves Sensor adhesion and signal quality. Before applying the Sensor, prepare the skin of the subject by trimming any excess hair at the application site and cleaning the site thoroughly with soap and water. Dry the area vigorously before applying the Sensor.
23BioStamp nPoint User ManualThe Sensor and adhesive should peel o cleanly. Any adhesive residue on the skin can be removed with baby oil or alcohol-based solvents. Remove the adhesive from the Sensor by peeling it away using the Sensor hold tab and edge of the sticker. Dispose of the adhesive sticker. Clean and disinfect Sensors between subjects.Remove SensorTo remove a Sensor, simply grab the hold tab on the thicker end of the Sensor and peel the Sensor and adhe-sive o the skin.
24BioStamp nPoint User ManualSubjectThe subject should clean BioStamp Sensors after each use. Simply remove and dispose of the one-time use adhesive sticker, wash the Sensor by hand with hand-soap and warm water to remove visible dirt and debris, and pat dry. Inspect sensors for any nicks, cuts, or tears, and if present, do not reuse.1 2MaintenanceUpgrading System Components In the event that an upgrade is needed for any component of BioStamp nPoint (BioStamp Sensor, Link Hub, Link App, Sync App, Investigator App) contact MC10, Inc.When new software versions are available the mobile applications will instruct you or the subject through the upgrade process. For Remote studies, the software is checked during the subject setup and system reset processes. Release notes of the changes are available in the app Update menu and detailed engineering changes can be sent upon request.Cleaning and DisinfectionThe system may be reused across multiple subjects, and reusable components must be cleaned and/or disinfected per instructions between subjects by the responsible organization or service personnel. The minimum service personnel requirements are an 8th grade education and the ability to read English. Clean and/or disinfect component before any service procedure.Sensors must be cleaned and charged before initial use. If you remove a Sensor from a subject and plan to replace it later, clean the Sensor before reuse. We recommend cleaning the Sensor prior to recharging. DO NOT expose any component or part of the system to heat above 40°C, dishwashers, clothes dryers, autoclaves, or other industrial cleaning processes.
25BioStamp nPoint User ManualExposure to the following household chemicals will damage the Smart Char-ger and should be avoided:• Nail Polish remover, both acetone and ethyl acetate based formulations• Sunscreen• Insect repellents containing DEETAll components can be used until their marked expiration date. All expired components except the adhesives should be returned to the manufacturer for proper decommissioning and disposal.1 2InvestigatorIn addition to the subject cleaning the Sensors with soap and water, the Investigator should clean all Sensors and all Medical Electrical equipment and certain accessories between each subject. To clean, simply wipe down each component (BioStamp Sensor, Link Hub, Power Supply, Link Phone, Sync Phone, Tablet, Adhesive Applicator) with an alcohol wipe (70% Isopropyl Alcohol/30% De-ionized water) to remove visible dirt and debris or use a cleanroom wipe sprayed with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. Let all components dry, until no IPA is visible.To further disinfect the BioStamp Sensor, use an additional alcohol wipe and allow Sensor to dry before reuse.BioStamp Sensors tolerate exposure to 70% isopropyl alcohol. The adhesives may interact with residual alcohol, however. Be sure to allow alcohol-exposed Sensors to dry thoroughly before applying adhesives. Note

54BioStamp nPoint User ManualProgrammable Electrical Medical System (PEMS) connection to an IT-NetworkData is transferred continuously among components during normal system operation. Raw (unprocessed) sensor data is transferred wirelessly from the patch to the mobile through Bluetooth LE. When network connectivity is available, sensor data is transferred from the mobile to the cloud. Once the cloud conrms receipt of the sensor data, the patch’s on-board ash memory may be cleared for subsequent recording.Implemented Protocols BLE, USB, and HTTP standard protocols are implemented between the PEMS and the IT-network. These protocols encompass and incorporate the required characteristics of the IT-network incorporating the Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS), the required conguration of the IT-network incorporating the PEMS, and the technical specications of the network connection of the PEMS including security specications.BioStamp Sensor to Link Hub BLE/ESBBioStamp Sensor to Tablet BLEBioStamp Sensor to Phone BLELink Hub to Link App USB, Android Open AccessoryPortal to Cloud public internet, HTTPSInvestigator App/Tablet to Cloud WiFi, public internet, HTTPSLink App/Phone to cloud WiFi or cellular, public internet, HTTPSInformation Flow The intended information ow between the PEMS, the IT-network and other devices on the IT-Network, and the intended routing through the IT-network:This can include aspects of eectiveness and data and system security as related to basic safety and essential performance (see also Clause H.6 and IEC 80001-1:2010).Note
55BioStamp nPoint User ManualSensor to Mobile Communication Data stored on the patch’s on-board memory is secured through a proprietary bit packing and memory block allocation scheme. Communication to the patch is only enabled through custom-built mobile applications. All MC10 applications require an authorized user login using valid credentials. During operation, each patch is uniquely assigned to a subject, in a specied conguration mode which includes the sensor modality and body location. Patch to mobile and mobile to patch communication is secured through a custom cmd-ctrl-data protocol and compression algorithm that runs across the Bluetooth LE protocol packets.Mobile to MC10 Cloud Communication Application data is encrypted (256-bit AES) and stored on the local SQLite database on the mobile.Upon network connectivity, data is transmitted between the mobile and cloud using HTTPS protocols, which requires authentication with valid credentials. This encrypted connection protects the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data.All cloud API interactions are logged with the following attributes:• Authenticated user taking the action• Source IP address of user• Time of interaction• Resources viewed or action takenMC10’s cloud network and systems are protected with standard security practices (rewalls, VPC, access restrictions, and automated conguration management). Access to the data is restricted at multiple levels and is protected by MC10’s Access Control Lists (ACLs) framework. ACLs restrict resource availability to approved users and groups. Each user belongs to at least one group and is assigned one or more roles within their respective group. Roles dene which resources and what actions are available to a user in a given group.Hazardous Situations Potential hazardous situations resulting from a failure of the IT-NETWORK to provide the characteristics required to meet the purpose of the PEMS connection to the IT-NETWORK:• Investigator Portal, Investigator App, and/or Link App cannot connect to public internet;
56BioStamp nPoint User Manual• Investigator Portal, Investigator App, and/or Link App can’t connect to MC10 MDDS;• Erroneous data transfer between Investigator Portal, Investigator App, and/or Link App and MC10 Cloud;• Data corruption on MC10 Cloud due to foreseeable misuse (i.e. hacking);• Investigator App or Link App can’t congure/control BioStamp Sensor;• Link Hub cannot control/download BioStamp Sensor;• Erroneous data transfer between BioStamp Sensor and Link Hub;• Link App cannot control/download smart charger;• Erroneous data transfer between Link App and Link Hub;• Data corruption on smart charger due to foreseeable misuse (i.e. hack-ing).Connection of the system to an IT-network that includes other equipment could result in previously unidentied risks to patients, operators, or third parties. The responsible organization should identify, analyze, evaluate and control these risks. Subsequent changes to the IT-network could introduce new risks and require additional analysis. Changes to the IT-network include:• changes in the IT-network conguration;• connection of additional items to the IT-network;• disconnecting items from the IT-network;• update of equipment connected to the IT-network;• upgrade of equipment connected to the IT-network.
