Intended Use
The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended for use under the direct
supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The system is designed
to acquire and monitor physiological data for ambulating patients within
a defined coverage area. The system processes this physiological data to
detect various ECG arrhythmia events and select physiological
parameter limit violations.
The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended to be installed in the hospital
or clinical environment in order to provide clinicians with patient
physiological data, while allowing for patient mobility. These systems
are typically deployed in sub acute care areas in hospitals or clinical sites
where patient mobility can enhance the effectiveness of the medical
procedures administered.
The physiological parameters monitored include ECG, non-invasive
blood pressure and SpO2. The ApexPro Telemetry System is intended to
provide ECG data via Ethernet to the computer platform for processing.
The ApexPro is also intended to provide physiologic data over the Unity
network to clinical information systems for display.
