Read the full statement (136 words)
The RhythmStar system is intended for use by patients who either have or are at risk of having cardiac disease and those that demonstrate intermittent symptoms indicative of cardiac disease and require cardiac monitoring on a continuing basis. The device continuously records ECG data and upon detection by an ECG analysis algorithm or manually initiated by the patient, automatically delivers the recorded cardiac activity to the server where it is presented and can be reviewed by a medical professional.
The data received from the RhythmStar device can be used by another device for arrhythmia analysis, reporting and signal measurements. The RhythmStar system is not intended to sound any alarms.
The device does not deliver any therapy, administer any drugs, provide interpretive or diagnostic statements or provide for any life support. RhythmStar is for prescription use only.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
