Its H3+ Holter digital recorder provides two- and three-channel recordings, an integrated waveform display, pacemaker detection and up to 48 hours of recording with one AAA battery. Recording downloaded via USB cable to H-Scribe Holter analysis system, which can optionally be uploaded from a computer with internet access to a scanning center with the H-Scribe Web Upload option. The integrated LCD waveform display allows the clinician to verify ECG waveform quality during patient hook-up. 

The H12+ digital Holter recorder provides 12-lead data recorded beat-by-beat on a compact flash memory card for up to 48 hours. Its graphic display previews ECG waveform during patient hookup, and has digital patient ID entry-an alphanumeric patient ID can be entered for unique identification of each recording. No external input devices are needed to enter the patient ID. Its high-resolution pacemaker detection has a sampling frequency of 10,000 samples/sec/channel and provides for pacemaker spike detection. H12+ is designed to maximize patient comfort: it weighs 4 ounces and utilizes the patented LeadForm patient cable for maximum patient comfort.
