ViATOM Pulsebit-EX ECG Monitor

An impressive ECG monitor which is easy to use due to an intuitive design. It's just about as small as it can be and still show enough complexes and features of the rhythm to be useful. Backlit screen is a great feature especially if using outdoors. 2 ECG wires simplifies application. The rechargeable internal battery means not having to carry spares. A touch screen improves the ease of menu navigation. The waveform is clear and noise free using ECG leads. Even using the handheld contacts produces a readable rhythm. The Blutooth Android phone software is equally smooth and intuitive, enabling rapid export of captured ECGs. You can print or send an ECG from the app by clicking on the export to pdf icon and selecting the print icon or email, whatsApp etc. Or, select read as pdf file pdf file where you can edit this file to add name, age and notes etc. (if you have adobe acrobat installed on your phone). After years of reading ECGs, I'm fairly good at interpreting most rhythms and, as this device facilitates easy review and printout of the ECG it works really well for me. The only feature this unit lacks is automatic rhythm interpretation. It will say if the rhythm is regular or irregular but that encompasses everything from the occasional benign extra beat to fatal arrhythmia so not all that useful for the untrained user. You can of course show your GP the rhythm (if you can get an appointment. ;) Just getting an image of your heart rhythm is only the start. You might get a device that does interpretation at this price point, maybe with a subscription, and that might be best for someone who can't read ECGs. This one has a lot to commend it though so I am extremely happy I bought it.

This is a really good ECG monitor in such a small bit of kit which you can carry with you in a pocket. Very easy to set up and link via Bluetooth to your phone and via the supplied cable to your PC. Download the respective apps and off you go! I used the handheld method and the leads across the chest to record ECGs. The latter is more accurate than the former but both give you a clear record and the app gives a very accurate analysis of what's happening. Gave me great confidence in contacting GP surgery with the printouts of recordings at different times of day. For the money, I would say it's definitely worth buying.

Very expensive product. Bought it when i thought i had a heart problem. Turned out to be panic attacks. The product comes within a handy pouch with instructions on how to use. Happy to have spent what i did to convince myself that I was in fact ok.

I bought this device as there was a waiting list to use the one provided by my doctor's surgery and I had suddenly developed a sporadic and irregular heart rhythm. Going on previous reviews, I decided on the Viatom Pulsebit because of the options for taking different recording lengths and and having a cable to connect to electrodes. As a former ECG technician, I have been really impressed with the design and accuracy of this machine, and after taking a number of 5 minute readings, I was able to recognise my arrythmia and understand its significance. The written instructions are easy to follow and I found it very easy to transfer the results to both my smartphone and my laptop. From the laptop, I could edit the recordings with my personal details, save them as PDF files and email them to my surgery. The readings using the connecting cable and electrodes are very clear provided that you keep still during recording. The only reasons I gave it 4 stars for ease of use was that the press stud connections to the electrodes are quite tight, so I would recommend connecting the cables to them before putting them in place on your body and it is quite tricky to get the neck loop through the small holes so that you can wear it around your neck. I have been using the Lead 2 position as it is best for a rhythm strip. You need put the white lead on your right shoulder and the red lead on your left hip, otherwise the ECG comes out upside down! I am very happy to recommend this little machine.

Das EKG-Gerät ist top. Es hat Elektroden am Gehäuse, es kann also ohne Kabel aufgezeichnet werden, zwischen rechter Hand und Brust zum Beispiel. Es können aber auch Kabep-Elektroden verwendet werden. Das Display ist sehr gut, für die Einstellungen und um die Aufzeichnung in Echtzeit oder danach zu kontrollieren. Es hat ein Lithium-Ion-Akku zum aufladen. Beide kostenlose Software für Windows am PC oder für Android vom Smartphone um die Aufzeichnungen zu speichern bzw. auszudrucken, sind einfach zu bedienen.

Got mine recently. It is small and portable. Closer in size to a credit card than a cellphone. The unit allows rapid storage of a rhythm EKG using external contact buttons on the unit. I have not tried the body leads yet. Very good tracings are possible. Better quskity if you are sitting or lying and without muscle tension. I have not tried the phone ir PC app yet. One negative: the USB charge cable is proprietary, which is a bummer

De metingen met elektrodes gekleefd op de borstkas of aan de polsen zijn uitstekend: geen ruis. De metingen gemaakt met contact met de handen zijn goed, maar hebben wel wat ruis, evenwel nog volkomen aanvaardbaar om geïnterpreteerd te worden. De bediening is heel eenvoudig. De koppeling met PC (via USB) of deze met de mobile (Bluetooth) is eenvoudig in te stellen. Met de PC kan een PDF gemaakt worden die na afdrukken er zelfs professioneel uitziet. Ook, zeer handig om mee te nemen en hartritme, EKG te controleren tijdens een wandeling. Echt een "must" voor mensen begaan met hun hartritme. Sterk aanbevolen.

El aparato es muy práctico. Preciso a la hora de detectar arritmias y anomalías cardíacas. No es apto para uso médico profesional pero si para controlar cualquier anomalía cardíaca y poder acudir al médico con un ECG fiable. El aparato es sensible y enseguida detecta anomalías si los electrodos no están colocados correctamente. Le doy tres estrellas porque la aplicación para PC está muy bien, pero la APP para móvil (Android) no vale para nada, ya que los informes que genera no recogen la onda cardíaca en la tira del ECG. Es decir, para acudir al médico necesitas pasar los ECG al PC, y ahí generarlos en PDF. Si la APP para móvil funcionaría como la del PC sería mucho más práctico. Me puse en contacto con Viatom a través de su correo electrónico y solucionaron el problema de la aplicación móvil. Así que 5 estrellas.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto quasi un anno fa e dunque scrivo questa recensione dopo averlo usato. Soffro di fibrillazione atriale parossistica e quando il cuore diciamo fa i capricci è importante e anche rassicurante sapere cosa sta succedendo. Tuttavia non sempre è possibile nè consigliabile recarsi al PS se non cè reale bisogno o al contrario sapere se questo bisogno è reale e bisogna andare al PS. Naturalmente il risultato della misurazione deve essere interpretato da un cardiologo o dal medico perchè lo strumento non fa una diagnosi ma rileva delle anomalie. La misurazione non può essere effettuata in movimento e risulta molto più precisa utilizzando gli elettrodi in dotazione che sono riutilizzabili poiche ricoperti di un gel che resiste per molte misurazioni. Volendo si può allungare la vita degli elettrodi inumidendone la superficie prima di riporli. In alcune circostanze è stato un aiuto prezioso per monitorare quello che mi stava accadendo, ad esmpio con molte extrasistoli, ho inviato il tracciato al cardiologo il quale mi ha consigliato il da farsi. Senza dubbio un articolo che consiglio per chi ha necessità di controllare il proprio ritmo, ma anche in caso di emergenze in famiglia. Un dettaglio da non trascurare è l'estrema portabilità e durata della batteria. Il software per il cellulare è abbastanza pratico e il trasferimento via bluethooth è semplice ma un po lento se si devono trasferire piu tracciati. Il software per il pc permette un analisi dei tempi del tracciato piu accurata e il trasferimento è via cavo ed è molto veloce. Super consigliato
