Updates to the document include changes to the sections pertaining to stationary equipment, defibrillator energy shunting and an expanded section on electromagnetic compatibility. It will be especially useful to device purchasers, says AAMI, because it provides a precise description of the characteristics and limitations of ambulatory ECG equipment.
