This whole process all happened within 24 hours”. The first wireless EKG heart rate monitor was invented in 1977 by Polar Electro as a training aid for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski team. Having included the receipt of payment, the expense was approved and the reimbursement was received a day later. So, I then just purchased the FX with my personal credit card, and reimbursed myself from my Optum HSA after filling out an online form explaining what and why the FX was needed. “I felt that if my medical insurance would be willing to pay for a Holter Monitor, they should be willing to pay for an FX! So rather than jump through all of the hoops and paperwork I'd have to do, for a product that is not yet medically approved/licensed, I decided to buy an FX myself and charge it to my Health Savings Account." When trying to purchase and charge the FX on my Optum debit card, the $500 was denied (possibly because Fourth Frontier is not a recognized or approved product/service).
Cardiac event monitors are used when you need long-term monitoring of symptoms that occur less than daily. This device is about the size of a pager. We regret not having the FSA authorization from the US yet, but one of our users who has used HSA to purchase our product has provided some valuable feedback: A cardiac event monitor is a device that you control to record the electrical activity of your heart (ECG). By interacting with some of our existing users, we found that the Frontier X2 product can be covered by FSA/HSA.
#Heart monitor on chest skin
By collecting the EKG from the skin just over the heart, the Frontier X2 can pick up minute electrical changes that may be lost if the EKG is picked up from points further away, like the arm, wrist or fingertips.The EKG quality on the X2 has been validated against a GE Holter Monitor and most closely resembles the V5 lead position of a 12-Lead EKG.
#Heart monitor on chest free
The chest-worn design keeps your hands free for sport and is tightly fastened to ensure good data quality during motion. With the ability to record up to 24hrs of continuous EKG data, the Frontier X2 was designed to get the best quality metrics while on the move, in any environment. Further, they typically record only 30-60 second segments of EKG and do not allow for long continuous recordings like the Frontier X2. They also suffer from poor data quality, because the EKG is being acquired from the finger or wrist, instead of the chest. Hand-held and Watch EKGs require you to sit still and hold the device with both hands, so they cannot be used during exercise. Most devices in the market that allow you to record EKG are either watches or hand-held.
