Accuracy of Kardia

7 Replies

Hi, has anyone experienced inaccurate readings from their Kardia. Always found mine to be ok, but over the last few days it seems to have gone slightly mad. It seems to show that I am in and out of A/F on a regular basis and I really don’t think I am. We are currently experiencing a very poor internet signal (thanks B/T) I was wondering if it was that?

Usually poor finger contact and "noise". Try dampen your fingers.

Oh ok thanks Bob. Hope your feeling better now x

Hi! From my experience with my Kardia lately it went bonkers - often giving out very high readings, can’t read, recording too short etc. Contacted my Kardia supplier and he suggested to change the battery as it has been almost a year since I had it. I did just that and all’s good now.

Thanks, I did wonder about that actually.

Hi just to let you know i have changed the battery and it now seems to be ok. Thanks for the tip

If you haven’t done so already the best thing to do might be to do lots of random checks (finger on the pulse) particularly after you have just used the Kardia.
