Brief summary
The Carnation Ambulatory Monitor (CAM) is an innovative diagnostic patch device that allows to differentiate the different kinds of arrhythmias more precisely than any other ECG-monitoring device. It attaches on the sternum and can be carried for a week without any breaks. This allows a continuous rhythm monitoring without any gap for 7 days. This device will be used in dialysis patients to monitor arrhythmias during changes in volume and/or electrolyte balance due to dialysis, in the phases after dialysis as well as before dialysis in the short or long intervals between dialysis sessions.
