Your physician has prescribed long term monitoring of the electrical activity of
your heart. This common procedure is referred to as event monitoring. For the
best possible results, wear the Zio™ Event Card continuously during your
normal daily activities. Avoid contact with water while wearing the monitor.
The monitor is not waterproof!
If at any time your symptom is severe or you feel the need for immediate
care, call 911. The Zio™ Event Card will not provide any medical assistance and
cannot contact medical personnel for you.
When monitoring is completed, return the Zio™ Event Card for recycling to
iRhythm Technologies, Inc. using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
iRhythm recycles 100% of each device that is returned to us. No part of the
device will end up in a landfill.
