This technology captures dysrhythmias when they would otherwise go undiagnosed. The ECG is automatically transferred to a cardiac monitoring center, where it is immediately reviewed, and the cardiologist is informed according to pre-selected notification criteria.

They will then hook up the device, and let the patient go home with specific instructions in order to continue to have the device on for the duration of evaluation. The second is a monitor will be sent directly to the patient, and the patient will be hooked up at home with instructions from the vendor.
