Arg! You’re to log “events” by pushing a button, but then there’s a TINY unlit scroll menu w 3 screens to complete. It’s on the 1" monitor screen clipped to my belt. By the time I get through the menus (and I’m pretty quick) the “event” is gone! anybody else with experience in this? I have a “skip” they want to catch and I am discouraged that this could work.
I will say it was a female doctor who ordered it, after hearing that my male PCP has been saying for at least a year that “it’s nothing” in that way doctors condescend to 56 yr old women…
Are you saying you have to choose from the menu before or after pushing the event button? Anyway, I would just mention the delay in button-pushing when you turn it in. If this is being looked at remotely via blackberry upon an event, the cardiologist should be able to look at enough preceding data, I would think. Good luck!
I have worn them as has my son for “murmur and bvc’s” we didn’t have to do a single thing!!!
Just where it and send the device in to look at the results, another was after a event you called a number and pressed a button and it transmitted a signal via fax tones. Then a operator would come on the line to say if it was a emergency or not, then another was totally wireless just press a button received/transmitted showed up.
It’s my guess that your monitor records something in a continuous loop, and that your triggering of an “event” on the equipment simply saves the preceding say, 10 minutes or so, and either transmits it to another storage location or saves it to permanent storage on the device.
Even medical professionals know that you aren’t going to react in milliseconds. They’ve thought of this problem ahead of time. Re-reading your post suggests to me that the initial “event” button press actually saves the data, and the remaining menu items simply decide where to permanently save or transmit it.
