The Process
Open the Kardia app on your smartphone
Once you've set up the device, the KardiaMobile 6L recording starts with a screen that shows when Kardia app is ready. It indicates that the Kardia app is ready to begin recording an ECG on your KardiaMobile device.
Make sure you have your KardiaMobile device at hand before you begin
Set your phone or tablet in front of you and place it on a table. You should hold the KardiaMobile 6L in your hands with the "A" symbol facing you and should not read as “V”.
Start by placing your right hand thumbs on the right electrode
Followed by your left hand fingers on the left electrode, to begin recording. A green contact indicator will appear when you make contact with the KardiaApp.
On your left knee or left ankle
Place the single bottom electrode in contact with the bare skin. Kardia begins recording at this point when the electrode makes contact with the body and a green indicator appears.
