## Indications for use
The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The system is designed to acquire and monitor physiological data for ambulating patients within a defined coverage area. The system processes this physiological data to detect various ECG arrhythmia events and select physiological parameter limit violations. The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended to be installed in the hospital or clinical environment in order to provide clinicians with patient physiological data, while allowing for patient mobility. These systems are typically deployed in sub acute care areas in hospitals or clinical sites where patient mobility can enhance the effectiveness of the medical procedures administered. The physiological parameters monitored include ECG, non-invasive blood pressure and Sp02. The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended to provide ECG data via Ethernet to the computer platform for processing. The ApexPro is also intended to provide physiologic data over the Unity network to clinical information systems for display.
