Product Summary
The Exercise Heart Rate Sensor measures electrical signals produced by the cardiac muscle during rest and exercise. The electrode belt fits around the ribcage and wirelessly transmits the cardiac signal to the sensor. This sensor should be worn against the skin for best results, but can be worn over a shirt if saline solution is applied under the electrodes.
Educational Use Only
This is not a medical device. PASCO products are designed for educational use only and should not be used in any apparatus involved with life support, medical testing, patient diagnosis, or industrial control/testing systems.
Features
