What is it indicated for?

The TX3 Cardiac Event Recorder, called the TX3, is intended to be worn by the patient and to record a short period of electrocardiogram when the patient depresses a button upon sensing symptoms indicated to him by his physician. It is indicated when such recordings are required for diagnosis. The intended patient population is patients experiencing intermittent and unexpected cardiac events and arrhythmias.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
