14. General information about the Heart and ECG Measurements
The heart is a muscular pump controlled by electrical impulses generated by the body. It
is divided into two sides by the septa. Each side has two chambers –an atrium and a
ventricle-linked by a one-way valve. The left atrium and ventricle control oxygenated
blood, and the right atrium and ventricle control de-oxygenated (“used”) blood.
The electrical impulse that causes the heart to beat spreads across the atria, causing
the left and right atrium to contract and pump blood into the left and right ventricles
respectively. The two ventricles then contract and pump blood out of the heart. The heart
muscle then relaxes, or re- polarizes, allowing blood to fill up the heart again.

An ECG monitor is able to measure the electrical impulse as it passes across and
through the heart, causing the heart to beat. An ECG does not measure the movement
of your heartbeat, but rather the electrical activity that causes the heart to beat. The
measurements recorded by an ECG monitor, when combined with a medical
examination, can help your doctor monitor your heart condition. The ECG
measurements recorded by the device are NOT designed or intended for medical
diagnosis. Conditions such as arrhythmia and ischemia can only be diagnosed by a
doctor through a special examination.
About the ECG Waveform
The ECG waveform shows the rhythm of your heartbeat during the 30-second
measurement and displays the electrical activity causing the heart to beat. The
waveform for each heartbeat shows the progress of the electrical impulse across and
through the heart.
The first peak indicates the spread of the impulse over the atria and the beginning of
their contraction. This is known as the P wave. The second peak indicates the spread of
impulse over the ventricles and the beginning of their contraction. This is known as the
QRS complex. The third peak indicates the activity as the heart relaxes (re-polarization),
and is known as the T wave.

What is Arrhythmia?
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due to flaws in the
bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats,
premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) heart
rate. These may be caused by such conditions as heart disease, aging, physical
predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, and fatigue. Arrhythmias can only be diagnosed by
a doctor.
What is Ischemia?
Ischemia is a condition in which insufficient oxygen is supplied to parts of the heart or
other parts of the body. This is usually due to a blockage or partial blockage of an artery.
Ischemia can only be diagnosed by a doctor.

radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength
in the location in which the Handheld ECG monitor is used exceeds the applicable
RF compliance level above, the Handheld ECG monitor should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Handheld ECG
