Note: Our equipment contains several fields which can be
filled in before performing an ECG. Some of these fields
must be filled in before performing an exam, some are
optional and therefore left to the user to assess whether
they are needed to perform the exam. A field RACE is
one of these optional fields. It has been acknowledged
by the medical profession as useful to analyze some
pathologies. You should be aware that, in some
jurisdictions, the processing of data revealing an
individual's racial origin is subject to legal requirements,
such as obtaining the patient's prior consent. If you elect
to collect this type of data, it is your responsibility to
ensure that you comply with all applicable legal
requirements.
