## Indications for use
EK12 analyzes ten or more seconds of a previously acquired electrocardiogram (ECG) from physiological ECG signal recording devices for rhythm and measurements. EK12 is used to create reports intended for use by a Qualified Medical Professional, including a trained ECG Technician operating within Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF) requirements and performance standards for the review and assessment of an ECG. EK12 is indicated for use on adults and pediatric patients older than 2 years. The device is intended for use in an IDTF or a professional medical facility, such as a hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office.
