## Indications for use
The CG-6108 ACT-3L Continuous ECG Monitor and Arrhythmia Detector is intended for use by patients who experience transient symptoms that may suggest cardiac arrhythmia. The device continuously monitors patient ECG, automatically generates an alarm triggered by an arrhythmia detection algorithm, or generates an alarm manually triggered by the patient, and transmits the recorded data transtelephonically to a monitoring center. The monitoring center provides the ECG data to the medical practitioner for evaluation.
