Instructions for Use for KardiaMobile 6L
Page 6 of 18
KardiaMobile 6L has two electrodes on the top surface and one on the bottom surface. It is
powered by a replaceable battery, which is located under the bottom electrode. Bluetooth is
used to wirelessly transmit EKG data from the device to your smartphone or tablet.
What is an EKG?
Also known as an electrocardiogram, an EKG is a test that detects and records the strength and
timing of the electrical activity in your heart. Each heartbeat is triggered by an electrical
impulse. Your EKG represents the timing and strength of these impulses as they travel through
your heart.
Single-lead EKG
A Single-Lead EKG is the simplest way to record your heart rhythm. It measures a single view
of the heart. It is taken by laying the device on a flat surface near your smartphone and placing
fingers form the left and right hand on the top two electrodes of the device. This is comparable
to Lead I on standard EKG machines used in the hospital or doctor’s office.
Six-Lead EKG
A Six-Lead EKG uses three electrodes to provide information about your heart rhythm from six
different viewpoints. It is done by resting the bottom electrode on the bare skin of your left leg
(knee or inside of the ankle), and placing fingers from your left and right hand on the top two
electrodes. This is comparable to Leads I, II, III, aVF, aVL, and aVR on standard EKG machines
used in the hospital or doctor’s office.
