5.4.2 Intended Purpose
The heart rate module is a device for acquisition, calcula-
tion and transmission of the patient's heart rate. It is used
to continuously monitor the heart rate and to control the
training load for patients in rehabilitation or preventive
training programs.
The signal is acquired on the intact skin of adult patients.
The device is intended for use in professional healthcare
institutions for inpatient and outpatient care.
5.4.3 Safety Information
Warning
• Heart rate measuring systems may be
inaccurate.
• Incorrect or excessive training can have serious
or even fatal consequences.
• If the patient is about to faint or feels dizzy, the training
should be immediately interrupted and you should consult
a physician.
