Kardia, the company providing AI-powered cardiology, has announced the launch of its Kardia 12L ECG system in India, following its successful introduction in the United States. This is tan AI-powered, handheld 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) system with a unique single-cable design that can detect life-threatening cardiac conditions, including heart attack, with a reduced leadset.
Kardia 12L ECG, which has received Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) approval for use in India, detects 35 cardiac determinations (14 arrhythmias and 21 morphologies) – including serious conditions like acute myocardial infarction (MI) and the most common types of cardiac ischemia – expanding critical access to accurate heart data within a broad range of healthcare settings.
“Kardia 12L enables physicians to rapidly detect diseases anytime, anywhere, making this critical medical device more accessible than ever before,” said Priya Abani, CEO, AliveCor. “More importantly, the launch of the Kardia 12L ECG system in India marks a big win for physicians and patients in the country, at a time when the healthcare system has never been more constrained, or more in need of the access and efficiency this type of solution provides.”
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a significant and growing health challenge in India, making early and accurate diagnosis more critical than ever.
Conventional 12-lead ECG machines are the standard of care for detecting and diagnosing many heart conditions, but their availability can be limited due to their size and complexity. Using advanced KAI 12L and a reduced leadset, Kardia 12L offers outstanding clinical efficiency and performance substantially equivalent to state-of-the-art ECG analysis solutions. Its speed and simplicity assists healthcare providers in rapid disease detection and enhancing patient experience.
Kardia 12L is battery-operated, weighs just 135 grams and can fit in a physician’s lab coat pocket, making it significantly smaller, more portable and more convenient than conventional 12-lead ECG machines. Its streamlined leadset also makes it less invasive for patients, who do not need to fully disrobe during a reading. The device requires minimal self-guided training and is simpler to use than standard 12-lead ECG machines.
