Philips' 30-Day Arrhythmia
Monitoring Service

Intermittent cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) can be a challenge to diagnose.  Sometimes you need more than 24 hours to capture asymptomatic and/or symptomatic episodes.  Using an Event or 30-day arrhythmia monitor has proven to be an effective diagnostic tool for detecting arrhythmias by providing a means to monitor patients over an extended period of time. 

Philips Remote Cardiac Services’ 30-Day Arrhythmia Service offers a variety of technologies to help secure the valuable details of a patient’s heart rhythms, enabling diagnosis and timely patient management.  

Service that Keeps You in Control

• Physician orders the service and specifies notification parameters. These can be customized for your practice
   or for any individual patient.
• A comprehensive report summary is prepared promptly so that patient treatment decisions can be made. 
   Information is triaged throughout the monitoring period to ensure timely physician notification of events warranting
   immediate attention.  
• Select from a range of monitoring devices to fit the technology to an individual patient’s needs.

     o Our ER910 autotrigger monitor is ideal for the  patient with suspected asymptomatic rhythms and
        to diagnose atrial fibrillation
     o Choose the most flexible patient-activated event monitor - the RT20 - which allows both looping and
        post event recordings with a single unit.
     o Select the Genesis looping monitor, with dual channel recording and live ECG transmitted with each test.
