Cardiac Arrhythmia Monitoring
LifeWatch Cardiac Event Monitoring Services
LifeWatch offers the widest selection of Auto-Detect and Standard looping monitors, and non-looping monitors.
LifeStar AF Express looping monitor
The LifeStar AF Express continuously records the heart rhythm and automatically saves the pre-event portion of the ECG while continuing to record its post-event portion. Its unique algorithms detect and automatically record asymptomatic events.
Features
Simple one-button recording for symptomatic events
Programmable triggers
10 minutes of programmable pre and post event memory
Date and time stamped
Auto-trigger and manual send
Auto-trigger of AF, bradycardia and tachycardia
Event monitoring for up to 30 days
Typical Use: Symptomatic/Asymptomatic Tachycardia, Bradycardia and Atrial Fibrillation
Standard Programming
AF Trigger – OFF
Tachycardia – 150
Bradycardia – 40
Pre-symptom – 60 seconds
Post-symptom – 30 seconds
Explorer
The Explorer looping monitor continuously records a patient's ECG. When an event is manually recorded, the monitor automatically goes into a loop-mode to save the selected pre-symptom portion of the ECG rhythm, while continuing to record a post-symptom portion of the ECG. Patients are monitored with looping cardiac event monitors for up to 30 days.
Features
8 minutes of programmable memory
Date and time stamped
Programming for 6 events
Pre-symptom: 60 seconds
Post-symptom: 27 seconds
Event monitoring for up to 30 days
Lightweight design
Typical Use: Symptomatic transient arrhythmias
Micro ER
Non-looping cardiac event monitors are suitable for patients with sustained symptoms of over 60 seconds or for those with electrode sensitivity issues. The Micro ER single-lead ECG non-looping event monitor can record and store up to 32 seconds of real-time ECG in solid-state memory. Each monitor can store up to 6 events before it is necessary to transmit the information over the telephone. Non-looping cardiac event monitors do not require lead wires as the unit has built-in electrodes. When a patient feels a symptom, he or she places the monitor against their chest and presses a button to make a recording.
Typical Use: Sustained Symptoms and Electrode Intolerance
Advantages
Extended Memory holds 6 recordings of 30 seconds each
Extended battery life
Lightweight
Date and time stamped
No electrode irritation
Standard Programming
Post Symptom-30 seconds
