What is it indicated for?

The Model 3810A is indicated for patients at home, who are capable

and willing self-administrate this device, upon prescription of their healthcare provider, to

collect and transmit medical information such as weight, blood pressure (including pulse

rate) and non-diagnostic ECG rhythm strip to the healthcare provider at another location.

The patient takes these measurements, typically once per day, and the information is

transmitted automatically via normal telephone lines to the healthcare provider. The

device does not send any real-time alarms. Clinical judgement and experience are

required to check and interpret the information delivered.

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