Indication for Use
Vyntus WALK is a mobile medical application which is intended to be used on a mobile platform to
collect and collate sequential pulse oximetry data during six minute walk tests (6MWT). Pulse oximetry
data are collected from an external pulse oximeter, using Bluetooth connection. The mobile platform
has access to a host computer with SQL database (SentrySuite) via a wireless network for further
data evaluation and diagnosis. Patients as young as 4 years of age and older can be tested providing
they can cooperate with the test instructions. Measurements are performed under the direction of
a physician in a hospital environment, physician's office or similar setting (professional healthcare
facilities).
Contraindications
The medical history of the patient should be checked to ensure there are no contraindications to
performing the test.
