What is it indicated for?
The ECG Mini System 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.
The device has not been tested for and it is not intended for pediatric use.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
