ANSI/AAMI EC13:2002/(R)2007 -- Cardiac monitors, heart rate meters, and alarms
Item: Final
Document Type: AAMI/ American National Standard
Abstract: Establishes minimum safety and performance requirements for electrocardiographic (ECG) heart rate and waveform monitors. Includes all parts of such monitors necessary to (a) obtain a heart rate indication via noninvasive ECG sensing from the patient's body; (b) amplify and transmit this signal and display the heart rate and/or ECG waveform; and (c) provide alarms, based on adjustable alarm criteria, upon the sustained occurrence of the following rate-dependent phenomena: cardiac standstill, bradycardia, tachycardia.
