This Particular Standard specifies the particular safety requirements for AMBULATORY ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS, as defined in 2.101. If the ambulatory electrocardiographic system offers automatic ECG analysis, minimal performance requirements for measurement and analysis functions apply. Medical electrical equipment covered by IEC 60601-2-25 and IEC 60601-2-27 are excluded from the scope of this standard. This standard does not apply to the systems that do not continuously record and analyse the ECG (for example, 'intermittent event recorders')
