Patient data is held on the local device and in the

cloud in AliveCor's servers in the EU. This complies

with UK data protection laws.

Your account is password protected and it is advised

to also have a password enabled on the device e.g.

the smartphone that you use with the AliveCor

Device.

The AliveCor battery is expected to last for 12 months

under normal use. The battery is user replaceable.

A cardiologist or qualified ECG reader can rely on the

trace from Kardia if the AF is clearly visible. Many

patients do not need a subsequent 12 lead, but if in

doubt it is good practice to refer for one.

AliveCor may be used by a wide variety of healthcare

professionals, some of which may not feel confident

to interpret pulse directly. For this reason, AliveCor

can help address differences in competencies and

allow all staff to screen for AF.

The patient's AliveCor trace is stored on the device

used to acquire the trace and when available,

uploaded via the internet to AliveCor servers in the

EU. The trace and data may be deleted at any time

from the Kardia history section.

The AliveCor device is available on NHS Supply Chain:
