RECORD ECG RHYTHMS USING THE MOBILE ECG
Before taking each recording:
Disconnect headphones, charger cables, or any other connected devices.
Clean the two electrodes with alcohol-based sanitizer.
Using your smartphone or tablet, launch the AliveECG app.
Rest two or more fingers (it doesn t matter which fingers) on the Mobile ECG; your right
hand should contact the electrode closest to the bottom of the smartphone or tablet,
and your left hand should contact the electrode closest to the top of the smartphone or
tablet. This is a Lead I ECG.
You may also choose from two other placements:
For a Lead II ECG, the left knee should contact the electrode closer to the top of
the smartphone or tablet and the right hand should contact the electrode closer
to the bottom of the smartphone or tablet.
For an Anterior Precordial Lead, the device can be placed on the lower left side
of the chest, just below the pectoral muscle. The bottom of the smartphone or
tablet should be pointing towards the center of the body.
NOTE: You will not be able to view your recordings or utilize any of AliveCor s Detectors
until you are under the care of a physician. To gain access to these features, you must
create an account on the
AliveECG
app. Your first recording will then be automatically
sent for a free analysis by a cardiologist. Once you have received the ECG analysis, you
will have access to view that recording and subsequent recordings.
