Very convenient way to check your heart activity. I saw the AD on TV for this product and thought it’d be a useful tool just to check things to see if maybe there’s a skip in beats or palpitations, or whatever. Here are some things I’ve found to take note of with this card:1.) The card itself runs on a lithium battery – and the manufacturer states in the documentation, that when the battery fails or is no longer effective, you can contact support for a replacement card.2.) You can, but it’s not required, sign up for a membership through the APP, which gives you additional benefits and reviews of your readings. The membership cost is $9.99 a month, so if you’re really concerned about your readings, this might be a good choice. I chose just to get my results saved directly on my phone. The APP saves your results by day and time, and allows you to tag each run, and enter comments on how you are feeling at the time of the EKG. There’s an option to view your history too.3.) The APP requires that you create an account, and also to generate a profile (height, weight, and DOB).4.) The card is lightweight, and fits easily in a wallet.5.) The Bluetooth attachment is quick, and you are prompted to launch your EKG once the card is powered on. The button on the card could be better, as pressing it repeatedly, I can’t tell if it’s on, or in some other state, since it blinks, but then goes solid, then goes out. Once it’s on, the small LED is solid amber, and you only get 10 seconds to place your fingers on the pads before the card turns off to save battery power. Whenever the card is inactive for 10 seconds, it turns itself off.6.) The EKG readings run for 30 seconds. During which, you need to be in a stable position. I’ve noticed that once you touch the pads if you’re not settled, the readings are all over the place. It also prompts to rerun the EKG if things are off the scale due to movement, or if your fingers lose contact.7.) The APP allows you to save your results as a PDF, and prompts you for a password for encryption, which is good security, and you can send that PDF off to your doctor or cardiologist. This is a great feature.8.) Following the completion of the EKG, it does its own quick analysis, and posts the results at the top of the screen, such as: ‘Normal Sinus Rhythm’, and includes your heart rate’s beats per minute during the EKG. You can also manually enter in your blood pressure, or connect to an Omron monitor, if you have one.To summarize, this is a handy tool, that is easy to use. As for accuracy of results, I have no idea unless you can compare the results taken at the same time at a cardiologist’s office, when they have all the sensors attached to you, but it would be an interesting validation. 4 stars instead of 5 you say?….Price. I think it’s a bit costly.

This device allows my son to be home and having to travel 4 hours away to his doctor everytime he has a heart flutter.

Thought it did more than just checking heart rate. I have had a few heart attacks and thought it would tell me if I’m having one but it doesn’t.

Hard not to have artifact when doing finger ECG but after the first few complexes it settles out and you can identify P-waves well enough. I don’t use the subscription service. You don’t need it if you know how to interpret ECGs.

I like the instant showing of the EKG. Abnormalities are not always felt though. Also bought a EKG recording device that records for 48 hours and my cardiologist found it way better.

It gave me a little challenge at first.The start button is a snap switch.At first I thought it was a diaphragm button. I had to press it a little harder.Then it connected to the ap.”normal Sinus rythm”I guess I’ll live?!?!?

Think you are having an arrythmia. In one minute with the ap you have a 30 second one lead ekg. Just what the doctor literally ordered. Perfect

So, I purchased this as a gift for my father’s 80th birthday. I’m an RN, I found it nice and compact & fairly easy to use. Directions are clear. I helped my Dad set it up and walked him through getting a quick read. We set it up so a monthlt report will be sent to his email with his readings.It’s a pretty good value, it’s NOT to be used as a substitute for a 12 lead ekg one would get in a hospital or Dr. Office. There is a subscription fee that you should be aware of before purchasing.
