Breakthrough ECG Monitoring Technology

Recom's first product, the Model 100 Heart Monitor, is an ambulatory patient heart monitor that uses patented signal-processing technology to record a clinical-quality ECG signal in the presence of "noise," or interference, generated by the patient's body movements and ambient environment. By reducing these interfering factors during recordings, the Recom Model 100 helps general practitioners and cardiologists more accurately detect cardiac abnormalities or changes that may occur during daily activities and allows medical experts to collect extensive, continuous cardiac data over time, which can establish a baseline against which future readings can be compared. The Model 100 provides up to 48 hours of real-time heart monitoring during patients' everyday activities. The Model 100 has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA FDA
