What Does Unclassified Mean on KardiaMobile?

Unclassified on Kardia means that your EKG reading didn't fall under any of the other classifications. It could occur due to an irregular rhythm that isn't atrial fibrillation, or high noise in the EKG reading, or an EKG reading full of artifacts, or a rate that is too fast or slow for an accurate classification from KardiaMobile’s AI. Kardia Unclassified readings might also appear if you've moved too much during the recording or if the device couldn't pick up a strong enough signal.

What Do I Do When I Get an Unclassified Result?

While you shouldn't ignore an Unclassified result, it's also not necessarily a cause for panic. After getting Kardia Unclassified reading, first try retaking your EKG. This will help ensure that your Unclassified readings aren't due to controllable, external factors like device placement or movement.

First, ensure you're placing the device on a firm surface and your hands are still during the recording. Avoid talking or moving, which can interfere with the signal.

Next, try moving away from any sources of electrical interference such as outlets, chargers, and television/computer screens.
