Legal Notice
Our equipment contains several fields which can be filled in before
performing an ECG. While some of these fields are required, some are
optional and left to the user to assess whether they are needed to
perform the exam. A field RACE is one of these optional fields. It has
been acknowledged by the medical profession as useful to analyze some
pathologies. You should be aware that, in some jurisdictions, the
processing of data revealing an individual’s racial origin is subject to
legal requirements, such as obtaining the patient’s prior consent. If you
elect to collect this type of data, it is your responsibility to ensure that
you comply with all applicable legal requirements.
