It is intended to be used for acquisition, digitization, display and recording of conventional diagnostic twelve (12) simultaneous lead ECG waveforms. The 4230 is equipped with a resting interpretation program covering adult populations. This analysis program is offered to the physician on an advisory basis only and the physician is asked to overread and validate (or change) the ECG interpretation. Formula for ArchiMed is also equipped with software that can be used for exercise stress testing. It incorporates a hard disk with 4 serial ports to add networking capabilities and to accommodate printing to a laser printer. Such laser recording abilities have been recently adopted by Schiller (Cardiovit CS-200), whose product literature is attached in Appendix E. 807.92(a)(5) #### Intended Use(s) The Formula for ArchiMed line of electrocardiograph products is intended to be used by a physician to analyze cardiac performance. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
