Zio Patch – Product Description
The Zio Patch is a discreet, adhesive heart monitor designed to record your heart rhythm continuously for up to 14 days. It is used to detect irregular heartbeats such as atrial fibrillation, extra beats, pauses, or other rhythm disturbances that may explain symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, blackouts, or unexplained fatigue.
Key Features
Continuous ECG recording for 7–14 days
Single-use, waterproof patch – you can shower and carry on with daily life
No wires, no bulky equipment
High diagnostic accuracy compared with traditional 24-hour Holter monitors
Easy application: a simple chest patch fitted in-clinic

How It Works
A clinician places the Zio Patch on your upper chest.
It records every heartbeat continuously while you go about normal activities.
After the monitoring period, you post it back in the pre-paid envelope.
A detailed, clinically validated report is produced and reviewed by your doctor.
What It Helps Detect
Atrial fibrillation (AF)
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
Ventricular ectopy (extra beats)
Pauses and conduction problems
Heart-rate variability and rhythm patterns
Who It’s For
The Zio Patch is suitable for adults experiencing:
Intermittent palpitations
Dizziness or near-fainting
Unexplained chest discomfort
Irregular pulse
Episodes of rapid or slow heart rate
It’s particularly helpful when symptoms occur unpredictably and may be missed by short-duration monitors.
Comfort & Practicality
The lightweight patch adheres securely, allowing you to:
Sleep normally
Work and exercise (within usual limits)
Shower (briefly, avoiding soaking)
Most patients forget they’re wearing it within a few hours.
