The Zio® Heart Monitor

Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital takes pride in being at the forefront of modern medicine in any field.

The Zio® is the world’s first single-use, continuous recording device. A simple, intuitive, comfortable and cost effective alternative that won’t get in the way of your day to day activities. Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital is proud to be the first and only hospital in the Upper Peninsula to offer this therapy.

Some of most innovative features include:

  • Brand new device for every patient.
  • Records every heartbeat to detect symptomatic and asymptomatic events.
  • Can be worn up to 14 days (memory storage up to 14 days)
  • Water-resistant with no external wires.
  • It’s small, comfortable and inconspicuous
  • No need for removal, even during daily activities, including showering and sleeping.
  • Completely 100% Recyclable.

The extended monitoring time provided by the Zio® Patch beyond the 24-48 hours of monitoring provided by traditional Holter monitors may significantly improve diagnostic yield.

This can assist your cardiologist with a more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of any conditions you might have.

Conventional Holter monitors tend to be quite bulky and cumbersome, resulting in many patients giving up on wearing them for the required amount of time. The Small size of the Zio® can increase patient compliance, as the device no longer disrupts your day and can simply be forgotten about while it does its job.

One of the most concerning trends in medicine over the past century has been the spread of nosocomial infections, or infections that are spread between patients while they are in hospital. Single-use devices such as the Zio® may limit the risk of transmitting infections between patients, and because they are 100% recyclable, they do not harm the environment either.

5 out of 5 stars

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.
