When used with a cardiology monitoring service, the 5 most recent recordings can be transmitted to
a receiving center for analysis by trained technologists or cardiac nurses. (To view important
information about data interpretation see page 8).
Operation Summary
The AfibAlert
®
records 45 seconds of your heart rhythm and a computer algorithm analyzes the data.
You have the option of uploading it to the AfibAlert
®
web site (
www.AfibAlert.com
) or transmitting the
saved ECG data to a qualified receiving center for your physician’s review (see page 13).
Additional System Features
Patient Cable and Wrist Electrodes are for patients who prefer, have physical limitations, or are unable
to obtain a reading using the thumb electrodes. A patient cable allows the use of wrist electrodes. The
wrist electrodes eliminate the need to press and hold your thumbs to the recorder. (Please see page
11)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Cable Connection allows the AfibAlert
®
to be connected to a Windows PC to
upload recordings to the secure AfibAlert
®
website and download software updates to the device. If
your physician or receiving service would like to use the Internet to review your ECG strips, you can
use the USB cable to connect your device and upload your data to the AfibAlert
®
web site
(
www.AfibAlert.com
). Once uploaded, your physician or designated service will be able to (or your
own) review them. For either a physician or receiving center to have direct data access, you must
authorize them to view your uploaded ECG data. To request a physician or receiving center be
provided access to your account, submit a support request with their information from the AfibAlert
application under the Support tab. The AfibAlert
®
will have periodic software updates to maximize its
effectiveness. This is done by connecting a USB cable (included with purchase) between the AfibAlert
®
and your computer. Lohman Technologies will contact you when updates are available. (Please see
page 38 for details.)
The AfibAlert
®
is capable of storing up to 34 recordings. However, due to analog phone line limitations,
only 5 tests can be sent trans-telephonically. Only the most recent tests (not previously uploaded) will
be sent with each transmission whether you use the USB or trans-telephonic upload method. It is not
recommended to use a cell or smartphone in conjunction with the trans-telephonic upload option.

website is included with your purchase for either 1
