Spandan ECG Test Module
- 12 Lead ECG Test: The Spandan 12-lead ECG test is the diagnostic test for the detection of ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) or heart attack. It can detect abnormalities such as P-wave ECG abnormalities, QRS complex abnormalities, and T-wave abnormalities.
- Lead II Test (Arrhythmia Test): Spandan Lead II test takes the lead for the 10-second period and provides a detailed arrhythmia detection report of different arrhythmia classification. The interpretation of rhythm as normal, borderline, and abnormal is provided by the classification of arrhythmias.
- 7 Lead ECG Test (Hyperkalemia Test): 7-Lead is the quick test taken for the detection of the ST segment. Elevation and Inversion in the Precordial (V1 to V6) and Lead II limb Leads.
- Live ECG monitoring: Live ECG monitoring gives real-time data on heart conditions and an in-depth analysis of heart health.
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Test: Spandan HRV test records Lead II for a duration of five minutes, which is interpreted based on the time domain and frequency domain too.
The HRV Test measures the normal Heartbeat in 4 categories:
- Heart Health Analysis – It detects the pace of the heart rhythm such as heart palpitations and classifies the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous responses of other organs in the body.
- Heart Stress Coping Ability – This feature detects the level of heart stress due to lifestyle disorders and its capability to recover the stress.
- HRV Test Analysis – The heart rate variability test analysis interprets the variation in the heart rates over the duration of five minutes and classifies it under the categories of normal HRV, high normal HRV, low mid-HRV, and low HRV.
- Heart Electrical Stability Test Analysis – This test determines the electrical stability of the heart by interpreting the ST segment elevation in simple and comprehensible language. The abnormality in the ST segment of the ECG, if found, is depicted in terms of the risk of cardiac disease and high or low electrical stability.
Global Impact of Spandan ECG
Sunfox’s Spandan ECG was developed with a mission to save lives from heart attacks. Its impact has extended across the globe, earning the trust of the international medical community. With over thirty thousand doctors now integrating Spandan into their clinics, it has become an invaluable tool in the fight against heart-related issues, contributing to enhanced patient care and early intervention in heart health.
In response to the alarming rise in heart attack cases in the sacred Dham of Kedarnath, in 2022, Team Sunfox took proactive measures to address the health concerns of pilgrims. They established free ECG testing camps at Kedarnath, offering pilgrims access to crucial heart health tests. With their relentless and unwavering efforts, the team identified and referred over 300 critical cases for immediate medical attention.
Sunfox Technologies has achieved a groundbreaking transformation in the health-tech industry through its benchmark product, Spandan ECG. This innovative solution has had a profound impact on healthcare by enabling early detection, effectively preventing heart attacks, and ultimately saving lives globally.
