6. RECORD ECG RHYTHMS USING THE HEART MONITOR
Before taking each recording:
Disconnect headphones, charger cables, or any other connected devices.
Clean the two electrodes with alcohol-based sanitizer.
Using your mobile device, launch the AliveECG app.
Rest the monitor on your fingers; your right hand should contact the electrode closest to the
bottom of the mobile device, and your left hand should contact the electrode closest to the top of
the mobile device. This is a Lead I ECG.
You may also choose from two other placements:
For a Lead II ECG, the left knee should contact the electrode closer to the top of the mobile
device and the right hand should contact the electrode closer to the bottom of the mobile
device.
For an Anterior Precordial Lead, the device can be placed on the lower left side of the chest,
just below the pectoral muscle. The bottom of the mobile device should be pointing
towards the center of the body.
NOTE: You will not be able to view your recordings or utilize any of AliveCor’s interpretive
algorithms until you are under the care of a physician. To gain access to these features, you
must create an account on the AliveECG app. Your first recording will then be automatically
sent for a free analysis by a cardiologist. Once you have received the ECG analysis, you will have
access to view that recording and subsequent recordings.
After your display is unlocked, you may swipe your finger across the screen to scroll through
each ECG recording. Additionally you can add notes about the recording:

13. AF DETECTOR
NOTE: If you are not enrolled in Alivecor’s ECG Analysis service, you will not be able to view the
recording. AliveCor will unlock this feature if you are under the guidance of a physician
AF Detector is an algorithm in the AliveECG app that detects atrial fibrillation in an ECG tracing.
After you take an ECG, if atrial fibrillation is detected you will be notified within the app. This
finding is not a diagnosis, it is only a potential finding. You should contact your physician to review
any ECG recording in which atrial fibrillation was detected, or send it to ECG Analysis. If you are
experiencing any symptoms or concerns please contact a medical professional.
The AF Detector algorithm monitors for atrial fibrillation (AF) only. It will not detect other
potentially life threatening arrhythmias, and it is possible that other cardiac arrhythmias may be
present.
The AF Detector only monitors for AF while you are taking a recording. It does not continuously
monitor your heart and therefore cannot alert you if AF happens at any other time.
The recording must be at least 30 seconds in duration for the AF Detector to function.
13.1. What is Atrial Fibrillation?
The most common type of non-sinus tachyarrhythmia is atrial fibrillation. In this case,
disorganized electrical impulses that originate in the atria and pulmonary veins initiate the
electrical activity in the conduction system of the heart. This causes what are commonly
termed as irregularly irregularheart beats.
When a heart is in atrial fibrillation, its two upper chambers, the right and left atria essentially
quiver, instead of beating efficiently. This does not allow for complete emptying of the atria
and thus, blood may become stagnant and create blood clots. This can lead to major
problems, namely, strokes, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and pulmonary emboli (PEs);
depending which chamber of the heart has the blood clot in it.
Approximately 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial fibrillation. As age increases in
a population, so too does the incidence of atrial fibrillation, which peaks at about 3-5% in
people over the age of 65.
The most common presenting symptoms of atrial fibrillation are palpitations, dizziness, fast
pulse rate, irregularly irregular rhythm, an abnormal heart sound (S1), chest pain, chronic
shortness of breath, abnormal jugular venous pressure, fatigue, and impaired exercise
tolerance. Other symptoms related to TIAs and strokes may be the initial symptoms of atrial
fibrillation.

AliveCor, Inc. For support, please email [e-mail] or visit www.alivecor.com 12
Some of the most common causes of atrial fibrillation are long-standing hypertension,
congestive heart disease, cardiac valvular lesions, myocardial infarctions, history of coronary
artery bypass grafts, hyperthyroidism, alcohol abuse, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and
electrolyte imbalances.
13.2. AF recordings in ECG review screen and History List
All tracings analyzed as positive for AF will have AFtagged for future review. These tags will
be visible on the ECG History List as well as on the ECG review screen.

Problem
Solution
I have a lot of artifact,
noise or interference
in my recording.
Try the following tips for acquiring the best quality ECG recording:
•Ensure that the Enhanced Filteris on.
•Clean the electrodes on the monitor with alcohol-based sanitizer.
•If hands are very dry, use a water-based lotion before recording.
•When recording from the hands, relax the arms and hands to reduce
muscle noise. Rest the forearms and hands on a flat surface and let the
heart monitor rest on the hands. Do not squeeze the monitor.
•Ensure that your mobile device is not charging/syncing and you are not
using headphones with your mobile device during the recording.
•Make sure that both the mobile device and the user remain still during ECG
recordings. Movement during recordings will cause noise in the tracing.
•Make sure Mains Filter is set appropriately for your geographical location.
This can be adjusted under the AliveECG app Settings.
•Try recording from the chest, right under the pectoral muscle in the mid
line.
The ECG rhythms
appear upside down.
In the future, ensure that the left hand contacts the electrode closer to the
top of the mobile device, and the right hand contacts the electrode closer to
the bottom of the mobile device. To invert a recording on your mobile
device, see Invert the ECG recordingunder Recording Adjustments.
