### 5. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
touchECG is a multichannel interpretative electrocardiograph designed to check and diagnose cardiac function. However, the results of the analysis run by the ECG must be validated by a cardiologist.
touchECG is intended for use in hospitals, clinics and outpatient departments of any size. It is suited for use in emergencies (ambulances).
touchECG is intended to be used in conjunction with CARDIOLINE HD+ device (K150289). The CARDIOLINE HD+ device is the device that acquire the ECG signal and send it, via Bluetooth, to the PC in which the touchECG software is installed. touchECG software is designed to works solely with CARDIOLINE HD+ device. The analysis of ECG traces and the automatic interpretation are performed on the PC, and must always be validated by a Cardiologist. The device can't do diagnosis by itself, but only shows the results of interpretation according to Glasgow program.
The device must be used by a doctor or by specialized staff on behalf of an authorized doctor in clinical facilities. It is not intended as the only means for determining the diagnosis.
touchECG is a 12-lead diagnostic electrocardiograph which displays, acquires, prints and stores ECG traces for adults. It also calculates the principal global ECG parameters.
The device can be supplied with the optional 12-lead Glasgow resting ECG interpretation algorithm, with specific criteria for patients of different age, sex and race. If this option is enabled, the algorithm can provide the physician of reference with an automatic interpretation generating diagnostic messages in the ECG report.
For further information on the resting ECG interpretation algorithm, see the Instruction Manual for doctors for its use with adults.
In the touchECG software, the subject device, the Glasgow Interpretation Algorithm is always loaded on the device. It can be enabled or not, depends on the customer request. Only Cardioline can enable or disable the Glasgow Algorithm.
In case the Glasgow is disabled the text of the automatic interpretation is not printed, but the measurements on the ECG traces are executed by the Glasgow algorithm.

Operating System - Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
Processor - Intel 15 or higher
RAM - 4GB or more
