2.1 Notes on proper C3+ use
● The C3+ and Cortriums’ software contain no capacity for analysing the contents of ECG
recordings or providing diagnoses.
● The C3+ light patterns only reflect battery status and operation mode. The lights do not
reflect cardiac health in any way and should never be interpreted as an indication of patient
health.
● The C3+ is built to be operable by a healthcare professional. The patient should always be
walked through all required instructions before wearing the device.
