We requested a quote for the Adinstruments Equivital:

https://www.adinstruments.com/partners/equivital#

the only noise and motion artifact-free ECG device, which is currently on the market, as far as we know:

Adinstruments Ecquivital has noise and movement artifact-free ECG

Adinstruments made us a detailed offer for the device per e-mail.

We also informed ourselves how much it currently costs to buy a new car. We found that it is possible to buy a new car for below 10 000 USD:

Adinstruments Equivital with LabChart 8 Pro software costs a bit more than 10 000 USD, with a warranty time of the sensor belt of three month.

We did not yet decide which product to buy:

90.02 Research & medical grade ECG devices which some of those were used to study the accuracy of consumer grade HRMs in different papers

But the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education bought an Equivital and published a study with it in 2021:

For those wo do not want to spend more than 10 000 USD for a noise and motion artifact-free ECG device from Adinstruments, we suggest to build one yourself:

ECG from OpenBCI with 3 & 5 electrodes with up to 4 digital channels with noise reduction
