Clinical Validation and Safety of the AC 12L ECG System Against a Standard of Care 12-Lead ECG (AC 12L ECG)

AliveCor (www.alivecor.com) has developed an ECG device (KardiaMobile) that interfaces with iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. This ECG consists of a lightweight hardware case with two metal electrodes that can snap onto the back of the phone and a software application. By holding the right finger(s) on the right electrode and the left finger(s) on the left electrode, an electrical circuit is completed and a lead-I, 30 second rhythm strip is created. KardiaMobile and a newer device, KardiaMobile 6L, were approved by FDA for ECG rhythm recording. Recently, AliveCor developed a new device: Kardia 12L to record 12-lead ECGs. However, the data generated from the new device has not yet been validated for accuracy. The specific aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and safety of the AC 12L ECG System. The ECGs collected by the AC 12L ECG System will be compared to simultaneous standard- of-care 12-lead ECG, recorded using the GE CardioSoft 12-lead ECG System. The ECGs will be analyzed for accuracy based on statistical difference using root-mean-square error, and cross correlation between the simultaneous 10 second recordings as well as the median beats of all 12 leads.
