Description
Kardia 12L (12-Lead) Professional ECG
The world’s first AI-powered, handheld 12-lead ECG system — designed to deliver full 12-lead heart data with portability and clinical-grade performance.
Overview
The Kardia 12L ECG System is a compact, FDA-cleared 12-lead electrocardiogram device intended for use by healthcare professionals. It combines simplified lead placement with advanced AI analysis to give robust cardiac data similar to traditional clinical ECG machines — but in a lightweight, portable form factor.
Key Features
-
True 12-lead ECG capability: Uses a reduced leadset with only five external electrodes and a single cable to acquire eight diagnostic-quality leads; the remaining four leads are computed or synthesized to produce a complete 12-lead ECG waveform.
-
Advanced AI analysis (KAI 12L): Powered by proprietary AI algorithms to detect a wide range of cardiac conditions (including arrhythmias, morphology abnormalities, and ischemic changes) with expert-level accuracy.
-
FDA-cleared determinations: Originally 35 cardiac determin- ations (arrhythmias + morphologies), with recent FDA clearance expanding this to 39 cardiac determinations including rhythm modifiers and axis abnormalities.
-
Portable & easy to use: Battery-powered, weighs ~0.3 lbs (≈135 g), and fits in a pocket — far smaller than standard 12-lead ECG machines.
-
Minimal training: Designed for rapid adoption in diverse clinical settings; requires only self-guided training for basic use.
-
Bluetooth connectivity: Connects to the KardiaStation™ app on iOS/Android so ECGs can be recorded, reviewed, and exported (e.g., PDF).
-
Secure data & workflow: Optional access to the HIPAA-compliant KardiaPro® web portal for managing and reviewing patient ECG records.
-
Long battery life: Uses two AAA batteries (included), sufficient for thousands of ECG recordings.
Clinical Utility
-
Detects serious cardiac conditions including arrhythmias, bundle branch blocks, ischemia, and myocardial infarction with performance comparable to standard clinical ECG systems.
-
AI-assisted rhythm and morphology interpretations help clinicians quickly prioritize findings.
Intended Use
-
Designed for healthcare professionals and clinical environments (primary care, urgent care, clinics, and point-of-care settings).
-
Not a consumer home monitoring device — specialised training and clinical interpretation are recommended.
