  • This product is not available to consumers yet, it is on testing phase with several hospitals at present.

  • The node uses Bluetooth to communicate to the smartphone. In the initiai tests we have done with several hospitals, the ECG device does not seem to interfere at all with ICD devices because the needed rate of communication is extremely low (less than 1KB on average) to notify the results to the doctors and then the node goes to low-power mode.

  • Could this device interfer with an ICD? Patients with Implanted CArdoverter Devices ar not suposed to have a cell phone near the ICD, does this device interfere with the ICD? It appears wirele3ss to the Smartphone is that correct?

  • My cardiologist is 300 miles away, by choice. This would be perfect.

  • is this product available to consumers yet?
