(ECG) HeartScan
Symptoms such as heart pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath may be signs of heart diseases such as angina or cardiac infarction. 
With the Omron Portable HCG-801 ECG Monitor, a recording of about 30 seconds can be made when symptoms occur whether at home or away. These recordings can then be shown for information to the doctor, who can examine it and use it for correct diagnosis. From analysis of the waveform some information can be obtained on the presence of arrhythmia or ST-level deviations related to ischemic heart disease.
Taking the condition of the user into consideration, the user-friendly and ergonomic design allows the user to take a reading instantly and discretely. The design of the pick-up sensor system provides a sufficiently clear signal for further evaluation in the ECG device.
Features:
• Portable and compact
• Direct review of results on clearly readable, high resolution screen with
backlight
• Cordless (no need to wear electrodes, no difficulties with cables)
• Very user-friendly
• Economically priced
• PC download through SD memory for 300, date & time stamped,
measurements
• Low power consumption (works on rechargeable batteries)
• Includes analysis software to inform the user directly on results with clear
recommendation on the results
Monitoring on a regular basis
Ischaemic heart disease or arrhythmia can be transient. ECG performed and read at a hospital clinic or doctor’s surgery is the normal investigation to establish if cardiac conditions are present. Due to the transient symptoms, abnormalities are not always detected, although disease is actually a problem in daily life. The Holter ECG is an alternative in these circumstances, but involves a minimum of 24 hours with the patient wearing the device and its attached electrodes and leads. It is also costly and time intensive for staff and still does not always record an event occurring. Sometimes the worsening of heart condition (increasingly repetitive pattern of transient abnormalities) can alert and allow taking corrective treatments before a potential heart attack or stroke. The HeartScan ECG monitor can detect the waveform and provide to the doctor relevant data on the heart condition of the patient in daily life.

This medical equipment is meant only as a reference in assisting doctors make a diagnosis. It is not a diagnosis in itself.
Self-diagnosis and treatment based on measurement results is very dangerous. Please ask your doctor to analyze the measurement results (electrocardiogram) and do not make a self-diagnosis based on displayed messages. Self-diagnosis based on measurement results can cause more serious symptoms.
Self-measurement is not the same as medical diagnosis. Please consult your doctor.
