The single internal coin cell battery in the Kardia Mobile should last for approximately 1 year of normal use assuming 2-3 recordings a day.

The NHS has launched a new device in England designed to accelerate the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia and a contributing factor of up to one in five strokes in the UK.The device is being rolled out as part of the NHS England-funded NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA), which is delivered in partnership with England’s 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs). Unreadable. 'Unreadable' implies that there was too much interference during the recording. This could be electrical or sound interference. The device can be used at any time, regardless if they show signs of symptoms or not. This ultimately means AF can be diagnosed faster, anticoagulation therapy can be prescribed to reduce the risk of an AF-related stroke and treatment for AF can be accelerated,” said Trudie Lobban MBE, founder and chief executive at Arrhythmia Alliance & AF Association. KardiaMobile ECGs have been CE Marked to detect the following and record, store, display and transfer single-channel ECG:

Record an ECG anytime, anywhere: KardiaMobile 6L is portable and works wherever you are. Take medical-grade ECGs from anywhere and get results in just 30 seconds. As symptoms come and go, people with suspected AF are sent to hospital for costly ECGs, and it can take several visits over several months or even years before a diagnosis is made. With KardiaMobile there are no leads, pads or gels to apply. The 'leads' refers to the number of perspectives which the ECG monitor can look at your heart. If you are unsure about your reading or are suffering from undiagnosed symptoms it is always recommended to seek help from a medical professional. Results can be easily exported from the KardiaApp.Normal. If no rhythm abnormalities are detected, you will receive the message 'Normal'. This means that the heart rate is between 50 and 100 BPM, there are no or very few abnormal beats, and the shape, timing and duration of each beat is considered normal.

KardiaMobile, developed by AliveCor, is a credit card sized device able to detect AF in 30 seconds, by recording the electrical activity of the heart through a person’s fingertips and sending the data to a smartphone/tablet app. App features automatic AF, normal ECG, Bradycardia, Tachycardia and interference detectors and voice recording The app allows heart rhythm recordings to be viewed, saved and shared with healthcare professionals allowing for faster detection and diagnosis of AF, according to the firm. Easy to use: Place your fingers on the top two electrodes and touch the bottom electrode to your left ankle or leg. No wires, patches, or gels required.Unclassified. The Normal Algorithm declares the ECG as Unclassified for ECGs that have a heart rate below 40 or above 140 bpm. Practical and time saving. Looking for fast, accurate ECG screening? KardiaMobile captures rate-and-rhythm, and determines whether a confirmatory 12-lead ECG is necessary in just 30 seconds. What six leads does it record? The KardiaMobile 6L displays and records Lead I, Lead II, Lead III, aVR, aVL and aVF ECG in real time to your phone or tablet. ECGs are stored in the app which at the end of the recording displays the ECG trace, heart rate and classifies the recording into 1 of the following categories. The greater depth of detail from the KardiaMobile 6L provides doctors visibility into certain arrhythmias that are leading indicators of cardiovascular disease; this is not automatically indicated by the device, but can be read manually by the doctor from the rhythm strip. KardiaMobile 6L also features updated connectivity to your phone or tablet to prevent loss of connectivity due to interference from ultrasonic noise (eg. motion detectors, pest control devices, light switches). There are also minor cosmetic differences between devices. Six leads, six times the heart data: More heart data than ever before, right at your fingertips. Get more leads of heart data to help your doctor better care for your heart.

Six leads of ECG data gives your Doctor a more detailed view of your heart, and the ability to identify other common cardiac arrhythmias from the ECG it records. Never before has more heart health information been available at your fingertips. Share detailed 6-lead ECGs with your Doctor for review remotely or just record your heart activity over time for your own peace of mind. Atrial Fibrillation. The clinically validated algorithm will notify you to the presence of atrial fibrillation. If AF is detected, you will see the message "Possible AF Detected." FDA-cleared and doctor recommended: The most clinically validated 6-lead personal ECG, CE marked and FDA-cleared to detect Atrial Fibrillation, Bradycardia, and Tachycardia. It’s a personal ECG you can trust.AF affects 1.4 million people in the UK, but it is thought that almost a further half a million people are undiagnosed and at increased risk from potentially fatal AF-related stroke. ECGs are stored in the app which at the end of the recording displays the ECG trace, heart rate and classifies the recording into 1 of the following categories. Also available: KardiaMobile 6-lead ECG monitor provides doctors visibility into certain heart rhythms that are leading indicators of cardiovascular disease. Dimensions
