Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-27: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of electrocardiographic monitoring equipment
This standard specifies basic safety requirements and essential performance for electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring equipment.

If it is used outside the hospital environment, such as in ambulances and air transport, the ECG monitoring equipment shall comply with this standard. This standard is not applicable to electrocardiographic monitors for home use and ECG telemetry systems. However, manufacturers should consider using relevant clauses of this standard as appropriate for their intended use/intended purpose. Ambulatory ("Holter") monitors, fetal heart rate monitors, pulse plethysmographic devices, and other ECG recording equipment are outside the scope of this particular standard.
