The Rhythm Express remote cardiac monitoring system is intended for use by adult 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 Rhythm Express device can be used by another device for arrhythmia analysis, reporting and

signal measurements. The Rhythm Express device 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.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
