Intended Use
The Welch Allyn electrocardiography and spirometry products (subject devices) are
intended for use by trained operators in health facilities. The subject devices provide the
following diagnostic functions:
• Acquiring and printing ECG waveforms using ECG front end modules (patient cables)
and associated accessories that provide signal acquisition for up to twelve (12) leads
of patient ECG waveforms through surface electrodes adhered to the body.
• Using optional algorithms to generate measurements, data presentations, graphical
presentations and interpretative statements on an advisory basis. These are
presented for review and interpretation by the clinician based upon knowledge of the
patient, the result of physical examination, the ECG tracings and other clinical
findings.
