1. Know Your Monitor
If you have been diagnosed with a condition that affects the shape of your EKG (e.g., intraventricular conduction delay,
left or right bundle branch block, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, etc.), experience a large number of premature
ventricular or atrial contractions (PVC and PAC), are experiencing an arrhythmia, or took a poor-quality recording it is
unlikely that you will be notified that your EKG is normal.
It is also important to note that the Normal detector looks at the entire signal before determining if it can be declared to be
normal. If you experience a small number of PACs or PVCs in a recording of otherwise normal beats in normal rhythm,
the Normal detector will likely declare that EKG recording to be normal.
The Normal detector will not declare an EKG outside the heart rate of 50-100 beats per minute as normal, even if the
EKG has normal sinus rhythm. As a result, if you typically get normal results but take an EKG immediately after any
physical activity that raises your heart rate above 100 beats per minute, you may not get a normal result.
Unreadable detector
The Unreadable detector determines whether a recording can be accurately interpreted or not. After recording an EKG, if
interference is detected you will be notified within the app that your recording has “No analysis” and given some
suggestions for acquiring good quality EKG recording. You subsequently have the option to save the recording, or try
again. If the recording can be analyzed, the Atrial Fibrillation, Bradycardia, Tachycardia and Normal detectors will run on
the EKG and inform you as described previous pages.
Unclassified
The app may display the Unclassified message for an EKG recording that was not detected as Normal, nor as Possible
Atrial Fibrillation, nor as Bradycardia, nor as Tachycardia, and not as Unreadable.
Unclassified means the result is not Normal, nor Possible Atrial Fibrillation, nor Bradycardia, nor Tachycardia and not
Unreadable.
Unclassified result may be normal rhythms, such as when your heart rate is higher than 100 beats per minute after
physical activity, or abnormal rhythms; if you consistently get unclassified results, you may want to share your these EKG
recordings with your physician. You can send the recordings by email.
