“I bought the SonoHealth EKGraph monitor to monitor my heartbeat and waveform at home. I had developed Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC). Those completely messed up my hearts ability to pump and resulted in fluid buildup around the lungs. RF ablation therapy was only partially successful. I purchased the EKGraph to have a higher quality EKG capability at home. The online sales literature described the monitor but I was still surprised at the small size. The packaging came with minimal instructions but with a single control (on/off button), a reference to the cell phone app, and the web site to download the quick start guide it was adequate. The unit paired using Bluetooth easily.
The onscreen display is clear. Color coding of the trace is intuitive. There was a default monitor time of ten seconds with two other time options selectable from the application and uploaded to the monitor.
I’m very pleased with the unit and the end to end ease of use.
Complaints:
1. Very little tech data provided so be prepared to print out that which is available online.
2. I haven’t found away to change the vertical range of the application display or the sensitivity of the monitor.”
“I researched several home ekg monitors before deciding to buy this one. I’m happy with my decision. The monitor is easy, quick and has reliable results.”
“After doing some research and reading reviews, I purchased the EKGraph and have not been disappointed. The product is solid and compact, perfect for traveling. I love that it can be charged via USB and it lasts for days with multiple readings taken daily. The EKGraph is so simple to operate. Hold the Start button for a few seconds to power up and make sure that the leads are touching your skin at the proper points. The instructions on the SonoHealth website make it very clear on how to use the product. Make sure to stay still during the test and, better yet, sit down for a few minutes before taking the reading. I had wildly different results when standing vs. sitting. The display is easy to read, indicates a green line when the test is in progress, and provides a 30 second countdown to completion. The mobile app is similarly easy to install, configure, and operate. I like the ability to sync results only when you want to. I was also impressed that the app includes a Glossary of terms that helps steer you in the right direction should you need to do more research. I haven't had to contact support, which is a good sign in itself, but it appears from reading product reviews and forum postings that SonoHealth cares very much about it's product quality as well as customer experience.”
“Simple to use and identifies either an arrhythmia or missed beat. Also indicates no abnormalities, which can be comforting. Uploading data to my cell is easy and the app is useofor sorting out ECG data, ready to email to my cardiologist. Very impressed with the monitor.”
“I needed something to monitor my atrial fib and tachycardia, especially if I am out. My blood pressure monitor (with cuff) can tell me if there is a detected arrhythmia, but you have to pay for another device and a subscription service to have the ECG. The SonoHealth device is a one-time cost, links to your smart phone and from there you can print or send your ECG. The device will tell you whether no abnormalities are detected, bradycardia, arrhythmia, etc. There are several possible results the device can pick up. Then you can sync with your smart phone and print out the ECG. Only drawback to it, and this is really nit picking, is the 3 second hold to turn it on - sometimes it takes more than one try. And there is no off button - it is an auto off, and sometimes that is too soon for me and I have to turn it on again. Overall, can't beat it for what it can do and the accuracy with which it does it.”
Hi Virginia, thank you so much for you feedback! If the EKGraph keeps giving you power-on issues please reach out to us and we'll send you a free replacement device!
Turning OFF the EKGraph is the same way as powering it on. Simply press the Play button for 3 seconds to Power OFF.
The device does have a shut off automatically to prevent battery consumption. To keep it powered on simply touch the sensors and it will continue to stay on.
“The EKGraph is an exceptional little device that enables you to capture an EKG/ECG of your heart anytime, anywhere. I’m 74, and over the last few years I have developed heart arrhythmia that comes and goes. It never does it in the doctor’s office, of course, so he thinks I’m nuts. With this device, which is small and easy to take anywhere, I can capture these events as they happen. I send them to my iPad via Bluetooth, then I take the iPad with me to my doctor appointments. The app makes it easy to view each event in the form of an EKG strip, and the quality of the strip is plenty good enough for the doctor to decide if any further action is needed. In my case, he instantly saw that my events are all premature atrial contractions (PAC’s), and I’m now having tests done to see if it is anything serious. Honestly, if you have any concerns at all about your heart, you need this little device. It’s affordable, easy to use, and could very easily save your life. Combined with the great customer service you’ll get from SonoHealth, there is no reason not to own an EKGraph. I highly recommend it.”
“I am very satisfied with my EKGraph. Easy to use, see ECG while being saved to device. Then easily transfer ECG via App to smartphone. Note this model uses Bluetooth to send data to the smart phone app. It works great. Other (competitor) systems do not send data to your smartphone. Using USB cable the data can also be transferred to a computer.
Benefits:
Great interface. Works well. Connects to smartphone.
Can see ECG while recording on the device, and later on phone or PC.
Do not need to have the phone with you to record an ECG.
No subscription needed. Save ECGs on device and transfer to phone or PC.
No waiting period to see ECG !
GREAT customer support and quick reply to questions.
Rechargeable battery - lasts for many days on a charge!
Cons:
A little more expensive than similar looking devices - but those are not as easy to use and do not have great smartphone app.”
“I am glad I researched this! I almost bought the first one I saw and I am glad I did not. I read the reviews on SonoHealth EKG and it is so easy to use and does exactly what I was looking for. No subscription or extra cost. I highly recommend this product!”
