Single-use chest patch
A prescription 14-day ambulatory ECG patch (now part of Baxter) placed over the sternum to optimize P-wave capture — clinically excellent, with studies showing more arrhythmias detected than the Zio XT, but, like the Zio, clinician-mediated with no patient-facing data.
What it measures
Single-lead, P-wave-centric continuous ECG over up to 14 days for arrhythmia detection, worn over the sternum.
Regulatory status
FDA 510(k)-cleared; prescription/physician-ordered. P-wave-centric design for clearer atrial-signal capture.
Validation & accuracy
Company studies report 40% more arrhythmias detected than the Zio XT and 2.8× more patients with arrhythmias than Holter; published P-wave-clarity research.
Data control & export
Raw data: no — the patch is returned/uploaded and a report goes to the ordering clinician via the BDxCONNECT portal; the patient gets no app or raw data. API: none for patients.
Wearability & battery
A lightweight single-use sternal patch worn continuously up to 14 days (showers, sleep, exercise), then returned.
Cost & access
Prescription/physician-ordered; billed through insurance like other ambulatory monitors.
Who it serves
Highest clinical integration; the patient is the monitored subject, not the data owner.
Who is left out or burdened
Prescription gatekeeping; no patient data access, app, or export.
✓ Strengths
- P-wave-centric design for clearer arrhythmia diagnosis
- Detected more arrhythmias than Zio XT in company studies
- Comfortable single sternal patch; 96% patient preference vs Holter
- Option for clinics to analyze with their own technicians
✕ Weaknesses
- Patient gets no raw data, app, or export
- Prescription / physician-ordered only
- Single-use device
- Depends entirely on the clinician to relay results
88
Why this clinical score. A cleared, P-wave-optimized 14-day monitor with strong comparative data — near the top of the clinical axis alongside the Zio.
24
Why this empowerment score. Like the Zio, the patient never receives raw data, has no app, and needs a prescription — among the lowest empowerment scores here.
42
Why this everyday score. Comfortable to wear and forget for two weeks, but single-use, single-purpose, and prescription-bound.
Latest news
Reviews & coverage
Reviewers and cardiologists note the Bardy CAM patch's P-wave-centric placement for clearer arrhythmia capture. As a prescription, clinic-managed monitor, it's evaluated on diagnostic yield rather than consumer features.
