Intended Use
The RScribe Electrocardiograph is a multi-channel electrocardiograph product used for acquiring, analyzing,
displaying and printing resting ECG’s. The RScribe is a 12-channel diagnostic electrocardiograph intended for
recording and printing ECG’s of adult and pediatric patients. The acquired ECG will be displayed for quality check

a vital signs physiological monitor.
It is a system comprised of a Welch Allyn ECG amplifier (Wireless Acquisition Module [WAM] or AM12 Patient
Cable) and an off-the-shelf personal computer with Welch Allyn software application that allows clinicians to
collect ECGs on patients during routine visits. The patient populations for which the device will be used may be
