Printing
Ensure that the following are printed:
- 2 x return labels
- Instruction leaflet

Prepare two bags each consisting of:
- Bag: currently using polyethene bags measuring 350x405 mm
- Return address label: a label on each bag stating “If undelivered please return to: SAFER Wearables Study; Strangeways Research Laboratory; 2 Worts Causeway; Cambridge; CB1 8RN. Tel: 01223 331 then 063”. Put the label on the left hand side of the back of the bag.
Prepare a device box consisting of:
- A cardboard box (currently using brown boxes measuring 240x240x40mm)
- Foam inserts: currently using two pieces of foam: one at the bottom measuring 6 mm thick, and a middle layer measuring 25mm thick. Each should be 235x235mm.
- Three wearable devices (already set up)
- Charger for the PulseOn Arrythmia Monitor
- Check that there is an electrode cable already in the Bittium Faros device
Prepare a return envelope consisting of:
- Questionnaire (with participant ID hand-written on it)
- Return bag (with return label)

Prepare a ‘Chest dots’ envelope by:
- Inserting six electrodes into an envelope
- Writing ‘Chest dots’ on the outside
- Selotaping it shut
Fill out the ‘Device pack preparation’ qualtrics CRF.
Selotape the envelopes shut. Selotape the return envelope to the device box.
Prepare a mail pack by taking the remaining bag and putting in it:
- Device box
