Is there anything I should be aware of when recording an EKG?

  • If an EKG recording is interrupted by a phone call or email notification, re-record it. 
  • When recording an EKG, do not run an app that excessively consumes the smartphone’s computing resources, makes sound, or uses the microphone of your phone. 
  • Make sure the microphone of your phone works when recording an EKG. 
  • Make sure that the EKG monitor works when recording an EKG.  
  • As the EKG device transfers data through ultrasound, please make sure to record an EKG sitting in a quiet place.
