What is it indicated for?

The River-1 is indicated for the evaluation of patients who experience transient symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, syncope, or chest pain that might suggest arrhythmia. The device is intended to record cardiac activity associated with these infrequent and transient symptoms. Once the data is recorded, the patient transmits this ECG data over the telephone or cellular network to a remote central receiving station to be reviewed by a healthcare professional.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
