Biolog™ Handheld Electrocardiogram ECG / EKG
The Biolog is a complete 12 lead EKG capable of recording one, six or twelve channels of diagnostic EKG data.
For an instant single channel EKG, simply press the Biolog to the patient’s chest for a quick “window on the heart”. Or connect the 6 lead or 12 lead EKG cable for a complete diagnostic EKG.
The Biolog EKG is mobile, compact and s
imple to use. Ideal for emergency situations, the Biolog is just as practical for routine on-the-spot checks as it is for acquiring and analyzing 12 lead EKG data.
The Biolog EKG comes standard with everything you need to acquire and analyze 12 lead EKG data:
- Acquire 1, 6 or 12 leads of EKG data and print the report directly to a printer.
- Free CardioView™ software allows you to download the data in order to store, review and print to Windows® based printers.
- Get a complete analysis and interpretation using the advanced Louvaine algorithm (for 12 lead EKG).

About the Accuracy:
The Biolog EKG uses the Louvaine analysis program. In 1991, clinical researchers evaluated nine popular ECG algorithms compared to eight cardiologists relative to a standardized database of ECG tracings1. The Louvaine algorithm had the best total accuracy of all the algorithms (77.3%) evaluated. It was also the best in correctly diagnosing Myocardial Infarction (82.1%) and the second best in diagnosing Ventricular Hypertrophy, which were both better than the respective combined scores of the eight cardiologists.
