What is it indicated for?
The QT ECG System is intended to acquire, record and process an electrocardiographic signal so that it can be transmitted digitally via Bluetooth technology to a cell-phone or mobile device, then to a remote location. The QT ECG System is indicated for use on adult patients and pediatric patients age 18 — 22 years. It is designed to be used by a patient or other layperson in the home, or by healthcare workers in non-acute care clinical facilities (such as nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities), to record and transmit a 12-lead ECG and rhythm strip in near real-time to enable review at a physician's office, hospital or other medical receiving centers.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
