This Malaysian Standard applies the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of AMBULATORY ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS, hereafter referred to as ME SYSTEMS.
If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME EQUIPMENT only, or to ME SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME EQUIPMENT and to ME SYSTEMS, as relevant.
Within the scope of this standard are systems of the following types:
a) systems that provide continuous recording and continuous analysis of the ECG allowing full re-analysis giving essentially similar results. The systems may first record and store the ECG and analyse it later on a separate unit, or record and analyse the ECG simultaneously. The type of storage media used is irrelevant with regard to this standard;
b) systems that provide continuous analysis and only partial or limited recording not allowing a full re-analysis of the ECG.
