the details.
Recorder App - General

The SEER 1000 recorder is available in three models:
• 24 hours (blue)
• 48 hours (purple)
• 7 days * (green)
* Long-term MARS ECG analysis system supports the ECG recording during a period of up to three days.
All recorders can record long-term ECG with 2 or 3 channels. The number of channels
depends on the recorded ECG cables used.
The recorders automatically detect pacemaker pulses without the need and entries.
To exchange data wirelessly with an external recorder, there are external Apps for both Apple
iPad, iPod or iPhone, as well as a standard PC with a Microsoft Windows operating system. Both
Apps are used for the preparation of the patient to transfer patient data to a recorder to verify the
signal quality and to start recording. The SEER 1000 recorder can also be used without using the
Apps.

password.
Access is blocked until the patient and the ECG data is downloaded by MARS or CardioDay and
then deleted from the recorder. Thus, ECG technicians, who are supervised by only an
administrator, have, at any time, access to recorders other technical ECG. People outside the
control of the administrator, have no access and, when trying to connect, receive the error
message "The password stored in the recorder does not match the password of the current
administrator."

NOTE
If the recorder has been turned on automatically or if it has been turned on manually, with
the Event button It is automatically generated a protection code by the recorder. In this
case, there is no wireless access until the data has been downloaded and deleted.
If access to a recorder is locked because an ECG technician has established a connection to a

recorder out of the administrator's control, you can perform a reset of the recorder: the
explanations are, depending on the App used in the " Reset iOS App ", Page 106, or in the" Reset

Users of CardioDay CardioDay can also use CardioDay rather than an App to transmit patient
data to the recorder before recording begins. If, moreover, the CardioDay administrator use the
same password as the administrator of the App, ECG technicians can use your Apps to
exchange data with these recorders.
