Audience

This manual is written for clinical professionals who are expected to have a working knowledge of medical

procedures and terminology as required for monitoring and/or acquiring clinical data from cardiac patients.

Indications for Use

The WAM cable is a non-invasive prescription device:

· Indicated for use as a radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter that acquires and delivers RF

transmission of real-time electrocardiographic data obtained during resting/physiologic electrocardiographic

testing.

· Indicated for use in a clinical setting, by qualified medical professionals, properly trained for acquiring ECG

data and use of the system. The personnel must be experienced in cardiovascular problematic situations and

emergency procedures or pathologies related to cardiac involvements. It is not intended as a sole means of

diagnosis.

· Indicated for use in hospital and physicians office, patients of any age where ECG acquisition is done (e.g.,

patients in Coronary Care Units, Step-Down Units, Emergency Departments, clinics, physicians offices, sports

medicine facilities or rehabilitation departments).

· It is not designed for use in highly invasive environments, such as an operating theatre.

The cardiac data and analysis provided is reviewed, confirmed, and used by trained medical personnel in the

diagnosis of patients with various cardiac rhythm patterns.

System Description

The WAM incorporates wireless electrocardiographic technology to achieve the real-time acquisition and RF

transmission of simultaneous 12-lead ECG data with diagnostic quality. Transmission to a Mortara receiver module

allows the cardiac signals to be displayed on a monitoring device such as an electrocardiograph without the need for a

direct connection to an electrocardiograph.

The WAM uses a single AA battery.
