KardiaMobile 6L EKG

The KardiaMobile 6L is a highly advanced personal device that records six leads of your heart rhythm by placing your fingers on the sensors and resting it on your leg. While a full clinical 12-lead EKG provides a more comprehensive view, the 6-lead device captures enough data to detect a wider array of arrhythmias than standard 1-lead devices.

Yes, the KardiaMobile 6L is FDA-cleared to detect atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and tachycardia directly through the accompanying smartphone app. This allows individuals with heart conditions to capture a medical-grade reading instantly when they feel symptoms.

While you can view basic determinations like "Normal" or "AFib" without a subscription, the device allows you to capture the raw data for free. To access advanced features like detailed doctor reviews or unlimited cloud storage of past EKGs, you generally need to subscribe to KardiaCare.

You do not need an active internet connection to take the actual 30-second EKG reading, as the data transfers locally via Bluetooth to your phone. However, you will need an internet connection if you want to immediately email the PDF results to your cardiologist.
