AFT1000+A: Advanced Holter Recorder by Holter Supplies
The AFT1000+A by Holter Supplies is an advanced Holter recorder meticulously designed for long-term cardiac monitoring, offering versatility, comfort, and high-performance features. This compact device weighs only 29 grams without the battery and measures 41 x 65 x 14.5 mm, making it discreet and easy to wear for extended periods. With the ability to record continuously for up to 10 days using a standard AAA battery, the AFT1000+A is ideal for monitoring conditions like arrhythmia, syncope, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Its reliability, ease of use, and adaptability make it an excellent choice for both clinical and home settings.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the AFT1000+A features a built-in OLED graphic display that allows users to monitor key parameters such as battery life, time, date, and ECG signal quality. This ensures that both healthcare professionals and patients can easily track the device's status and functionality at any moment. The recorder supports up to three ECG channels depending on the cable used, with a sampling rate of 250Hz in standard mode and up to 1000Hz in high-quality mode. This high sampling frequency, combined with 12-bit resolution, ensures excellent ECG reproduction, capturing even subtle cardiac events accurately.
One of the standout qualities of the AFT1000+A is its versatility. It is suitable for a wide range of medical applications, including arrhythmia detection, pediatric monitoring, sports medicine, and long-term monitoring for syncope and PAF. The device is compatible with pacemaker patients and includes a pacemaker spike detection feature on all channels, ensuring that cardiac activity is captured reliably. The use of short cables minimizes signal noise, further enhancing the accuracy of recordings.
In terms of comfort, the AFT1000+A excels with its patient-friendly design. It can be worn as a pendant or with adhesive electrodes, or even with a special belt, depending on the patient’s preference. The lightweight and ergonomic design has been well-received, with high satisfaction rates reported among patients, even during long-term use. Additionally, the device is enclosed in a durable polycarbonate plastic casing that protects it from everyday wear and tear, and a disposable pouch is available to reduce the risk of nosocomial infections.
Data integrity is a top priority for the AFT1000+A. The device features an internal flash memory that safeguards ECG recordings until they are securely transferred to a PC. This ensures that data is not lost or erased prematurely. For added reliability, the device includes an optional disconnection alarm, which notifies users if the electrodes become detached during recording, allowing for prompt corrective action. The fast data transfer feature, using USB2 technology, allows for 24 hours of ECG data to be transferred to a computer in just four seconds, improving efficiency in clinical settings.
Additionally, the AFT1000+A records environmental data such as battery voltage, temperature, and spatial position, providing further context for the ECG readings. The accelerometers (optional) track spatial orientation and patient movement, adding an extra layer of data for precise analysis. This combination of ECG and environmental data is valuable in identifying artifacts and ensuring accurate interpretation of the cardiac activity.
The AFT1000+A by Holter Supplies is an exceptional Holter recorder, combining advanced technology, user comfort, and reliability. With features like high-resolution ECG recording, pacemaker compatibility, fast data transfer, and long-term recording capabilities, it is well-suited for various cardiac monitoring applications. Its lightweight design and patient-friendly options make it a trusted tool for clinicians and a comfortable choice for patients.
