5.0 out of 5 stars Works surprisingly well for a hobbyist device
As the result of a recent surgical procedure, I suddenly found myself unexpectedly having paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Not fun. My cardiologist anticipated that it might go away on its own as I recovered, so I wanted a way to track my episodes instead of having to take my pulse and guess.This device does just that. It's easy to set up and within 30 seconds, it'll tell you whether you are in AFIB, you're in normal sinus rhythm, or somewhere in between, using only the index and middle finger of both hands. (There's a more advanced mode where you use your leg as well, but I haven't tried that mode.)The software will show you your cardiac rhythm and tracks it, allowing you to bring up any day you've taken a measurement. There are other features as well, but I haven't delved into them, so I can't tell you how well they work.
5.0 out of 5 stars Essential device for cardiac care.
Quite possibly saved my husband’s life. He recently had cardiac surgery, and had been discharged from the hospital. After three days home he suddenly felt as if someone had punched him lightly in the chest, and the feeling continued every 15-20 seconds. My husband has no history of atrial fibrillation. My father whom happened to be with us at the time (and has a heart condition), quickly got this device out and did an EKG on my husband. Back to the ER we went and they were able to confirm he was in fact in afib with an extremely elevated HR. I am beyond grateful this home medical device exists and have already bought one for ourselves. It was super easy to use. And clearly was beneficial to have on hand in the case that someone around you may be in need. The doctors at the hospital all seemed familiar with it, and even reviewed the EKG reading. They appreciated being able to see exactly what condition he was in during the onset of afib.
5.0 out of 5 stars Way better than my old 2 lead
This little device works just like the ad says it will. Works with the app to visually see your printout.My Cadiologist recommended this on as a better option than the 2 finger option I was using.You do have the ability to save in PDF form and share it with doc.I do the 2 fingers each side - held against ankle area. Easy to get obsessed, but don't... checking once part day or if you feel something. I go a week without monitoring, then checking over a couple of days, then ignore for a while. You don't want to drive your doctor nuts with multiple feeds... good way to get dropped!!The information and algorithm gives you feedback as to what's going on with your heart. But as always - trust your instincts and body... if you don't feel right. You might not be... call your doctor!
5.0 out of 5 stars It works.
Have a good friend with a new case of A F. Drs. Got her converted with medication. But it is nice to do a multi lead EKG to check every once in awhile.
4.0 out of 5 stars I'm going to keep using it but...
I bought this with the 6 month subscription. At first I didn't enter the code that came with it. The first reading was normal. Then after that it kept prompting for a code and my readings kept reporting as unidentified or possible atrial fibrillation and tachycardia. This happened every time I tried for several days and I got concerned that either this was broken or I needed an ER visit. Finally I entered the code and took another recording. Magically I haven't had a single anomomoly since. I guess I will use it until the subscription runs out and see if it reverts back to being a nuisance. It is easy to use and convenient so far but a Dr has since told me there are cheaper devices out there that don't play games and require a subscription to use them. So at least now I am aware and won't be renewing the subscription on this device. It would be cheaper and less alarming to buy a different one especially if it's going to land me in the ER when I'm actually fine...
5.0 out of 5 stars nice
looks like it will protect device well
5.0 out of 5 stars Sensor stopped working
I bought in July. Only used maybe 10 times total and the sensor on the bottom won't pick up on my leg or ankle. I know it still "works" because if I put my finger on the bottom sensor it will light up green. But for some reason won't pick up on my leg or ankle. Very frustrating because it's such an expensive product and of course past the return date. Thought I'd be able to use it more than 10 times. Also, when you're having heart symptoms and need to take your readings immediately you can't afford to lose time fiddling around with a device that doesn't work. Dry disappointed!
1.0 out of 5 stars Product is defective
Short answer. I have received 2 defective units from this seller. Are they refurbished?I purchased a Kardia unit last Fall and it worked great. Probably showed it to 50 people I was so impressed with the product. Unfortunately I lost it. When I tried to buy a replacement from Kardia directly as I had done the first time they were now requiring a monthly subscription to a service I do not want so I decided not to buy.Later I found it on Bolo from this seller with no requirement for the monthly subscription. When I received the first unit it did not work so I returned it with no problem. I received the replacement unit and have been having problems with this one also. It will not pick up the signal from the Kardia unit to my phone. Indicates there is interference. I have tried it in many different places and still can not get it to work. Stops working in the middle of taking a reading.UPDATE JUNE 27 2022 - AliveCor was supposed to be following up to resolve the defect in the unit they shipped to me. They never did. As others have noted on here, Buyer BEWARE!
