R.Test Evolution 4
Automatic Arrythmia Detection System
Providing extended cardiac event detection with high-fidelity signal quality, reducing the chance of missing infrequent arrhythmias, including AF.
The combination of auto-triggered and patient-initiated events increases the likelihood of capturing meaningful ECG data, without the need to store and process vast amounts of full disclosure ECG.
The ease of use and comfort promotes better patient compliance, which is essential for an accurate diagnosis.

Scientific Studies
Risk-based screening for the evaluation of atrial fibrillation in general practice (R-BEAT): a randomized cross-over trial
Summary: Among older community-dwelling adults with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of greater than two, screening with ELR for one week was associated with a 5.5% incremental detection of new atrial fibrillation over usual care.
Clinical and health economic evaluation of a post-stroke arrhythmia monitoring service
Summary: A post-stroke arrhythmia monitoring service, specifically using R-TEST devices, is clinically effective at detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) and offers probable clinical and economic benefits. The service is feasible and, by reducing secondary strokes through earlier AF detection, can lead to significant cost savings and fewer hospital bed days for the health service.
Intermittent vs continuous electrocardiogram event recording for detection of atrial fibrillation—Compliance and ease of use in an ambulatory elderly population
Summary: Continuous event recording detected three times more AF compared to intermittent ECG in an elderly ambulatory population. Compliance and user‐friendliness were rated higher for the intermittent ECG device.
Usefulness of Ambulatory 7-Day ECG Monitoring for the Detection of Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter After Acute Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack
Summary: Following acute stroke or TIA, ELR identified patients with AF, which remained undetected with standard ECG and with Holter. ELR should, therefore, be considered in every patient in whom a cardioembolic mechanism is suspected.
Noninvasive cardiac event monitoring to detect atrial fibrillation after ischemic stroke: a randomized, controlled trial
Summary: Routine noninvasive cardiac-event monitoring after acute stroke enhances detection of paroxysmal AF and early anticoagulation. Extended monitoring should be offered to all eligible patients soon after acute stroke.
