Welcome To TelePatch
The most advanced heart monitoring system
Your doctor has prescribed a Holter study using the Medicomp
TelePatch Monitor.
This guide will walk you through hooking up the monitor, using it
during daily activities, recording symptoms when they occur, and
returning the monitor at the end of the study. This study will record
your heart’s electrical activity and can help your doctor discover any
heart irregularities, called arrhythmias.
ECG recordings are sent to Medicomp, where highly trained
Certied Cardiac Technicians analyze your ECG data and create
reports for your doctor. You should wear the monitor and go about
your normal daily activities; you can even shower with the device.
If at any point you feel a symptom or irregular heartbeat, simply
press the Symptom button. It is a simple process and should not
interfere with your daily activities.
Begin wearing your monitor immediately, and you will wear the
monitor 24-hours a day for the length of your prescribed test. The
instructions included in this Patient Guide will guide you on how
to use the monitor. At the end of the study take the device off and
follow the instructions for promptly returning it.
If you have questions after reviewing this guide, please contact
Medicomp at 877-996-5553.
