KardiaMobile 6L A Work in Progress but Amazing Device!
After using the original device I found this second generation harder to use. It requires placing the device on your upper knee or ankles to make contact for six lead EKG. I found it is difficult to get the blue tooth signal to properly connect to the device. It is also much thicker than the original unit. Once you are able to get the device to record it has a tendency to lose the signal before the EKG is complete. I contacted customer support to discuss this issue plus eradicate readings that take place which could be due to muscle movement or loss of signal. The service representative just told me they have had no reports of this issue , however I was one of the first to use the device. Never got back a response from the company which is never a good sign. Again harder to use and instructions on its use are poor. Also there is little to no explanation on how to read EKG, so mainly for your cardiologist to interpret and if you are having a heart attack the device will not tell you to call 911 nor even let you know you’re having one. It just detects that your heart is not in sinus rhythm or you are experiencing tachycardia ( heart rate over 100 bpm). Yes FDA approved medical device and light years better than an Apple Watch! You can send data to your cardiologist over the Internet but I wouldn’t wait for your doctor to interpret in an emergency, rather call 911! Just nice to record events and share with your doctor who can advise you. This is the future of medicine and lives will be saved. Yes I still recommend this device to anyone with a history of atrial fibrillation or is experiencing symptoms of an irregular heart beat.
