Introduction

This chapter provides general information required for the proper use of the product
and the manual. Familiarize yourself with this information before using the product.

Product Information

This section provides the indications for use, general description, and identification
information for both the CAM-14 and CAM-HD acquisition modules. Except where
differences between the two products are noted, the terms acquisition module and
device refer to both products.

Indications for Use

The acquisition module is intended to acquire, digitize, and transmit analog ECG
signals to a host unit. The circuitry is designed to protect the host unit against the
effects of cardiac defibrillator discharge to ensure device recovery.
The acquisition module is intended to be used under the direct supervision of a
licensed health care practitioner.

General Description

The acquisition module performs high resolution ECG data acquisition for use with
host equipment (resting ECG analysis systems and exercise systems). The acquisition
module has the following features:
• AC leadfail bias
• lead off detection
• patient isolation
• function key control of host equipment functions
The acquisition module provides patient electrical isolation for the host equipment.
The minute ECG signals from the patient's skin are received by the electrodes and
sent to the acquisition module via leadwires. The acquisition module then amplifies,
digitizes, and performs processing on the signals.
