Notes on Safety

This unit is designed for monitoring the ECG waveform. Never use the unit
to monitor vital signs and acute events.
- Self-diagnosis and treatment is dangerous.
The measurement results are for monitoring purposes only, and should never be
used as a basis for starting or modifying treatment without independent
confirmation by medical examination.
- The values displayed by the unit are the values at the time of measurement.
Medical conditions can change suddenly. If you notice any change in your
condition, consult your doctor, regardless of the measurement results.

For a person with a cardiac pacemaker, there are cases where pacing spikes are
recorded or not recorded.
