WITH ARRHYTHMIA DETECTOR
WITH ARRHYTHMIA DETECTOR
Indications for Use

are at low risk of developing primary ventricular fibrillation or
sustained ventricular tachycardia
sustained ventricular tachycardia
2. Patients with dizziness or light-headedness
3. Patients with palpitations
4. Patients with syncope of unknown etiology
5. Patients who require monitoring for non life-threatening arrhythmias,
3. Patients with palpitations
4. Patients with syncope of unknown etiology
5. Patients who require monitoring for non life-threatening arrhythmias,
such as atrial fibrillation, other supraventricular arrhythmias,
evaluation of various bradyarrhythmias and intermittent
bundle branch block. This includes postoperative monitoring for
these rhythms

these rhythms
6. Patients recovering from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
who require monitoring for arrhythmias
7. Patients requiring monitoring for arrhythmias inducing co-morbid
conditions such as hyperthyroidism or chronic lung disease
8. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea to evaluate possible
nocturnal arrhythmias
9. Patients requiring arrhythmia evaluation for etiology of stroke or
transient cerebral ischemia, possibly secondary to atrial fibrillation
10. Data from the device may be used by another device to analyze
measure or report QT interval. The device is not intended to sound
any alarms for QT interval changes.
