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.
GE is responsible for the effects of safety, reliability, and performance only if:
assembly operations, extensions, adjustments, modifications, or repairs are
carried out by persons authorized by GE;
the electrical installation of the relevant room complies with the requirements of
the appropriate regulations; and
the device is used in accordance with the instructions for use.
Warnings and cautions are used throughout this manual and designate a degree or
level of hazardous situations. A hazard is defined as a source of potential injury to a
person.
