Adinstruments Equivital has noise and movement artifact-free ECG, but only 2 Channel ECG

Last Updated on July 15, 2022 by pg@petergamma.org

According to the Adinstruments Equivital data sheet:

https://m-cdn.adinstruments.com/brochures/ADINSTRUMENTS_EQUIVITAL_BROCHURE.pdf

the Equivital has noise and movement artifact-free ECG, but only 2 Channel ECG. The Polar H10 also has 2 Channel ECG, therefore, the Adinstruments Equivital is probably not more accurate than a Polar H10.

We suppose that the Adinstruments Equivital has a lower accuracy than a 16 bit or higher 3 channel research grade ECG device. The Adinstruments Equivital is therefore not the best choice for sports sensor accuracy validation.

Choose a high quality movement artifact-free 16 bit or higher 3 channel research grade ECG device for sports sensor accuracy validation studies.
