Consent to Receive Remote ECG Services

Last Updated: November 28, 2019

QT Medical, Inc. offers a digital, wireless electrocardiogram (“ECG”) system that syncs with mobile devices (both iOS and Android) via Bluetooth technology. QT Medical, Inc. contracts with EKG360, P.C. to offer full 12-lead ECG remote monitoring and interpretation (the “Service”). The portable ECG device receives signals from the one-time use electrode strip applied to the body and then transits that data to a connected mobile device where the ECG reading is displayed. The ECG reading can be shared by the patient with third parties, including the treating clinician. The ECG readings are also stored on QT Medical’s secure cloud server for later access and analysis. Before you give your consent to request the Service, please be aware of how receiving remote ECG monitoring through the QT Medical mobile application (the “App”) differs from an in-person conventional ECG procedure. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to service@qtmedical.com or use the “Support” button in the App.

You understand that the Service ONLY collects remote ECG readings but does not provide any medical treatment or other interventions. Also, the Service does not send alerts, either to you or to any third parties. You understand that by using the Service, you will not have an in-person physical exam that might identify a potentially serious medical condition. DO NOT use the Service in a medical emergency, in a medical emergency you should dial 911 or visit an emergency room.

You understand that our ECG device has a one (1) year device warranty for repairs or replacements. The one-year warranty period begins on the date of purchase of the ECG device.

You understand that you will need to pay for the Service received through the App yourself and that any insurance you have may not pay for it. You understand that by using the Service, you are freely electing to pay out of pocket and that you may be foregoing discounts or insurance coverage that would otherwise be available to you if you sought care in-person. You understand that it is your responsibility to arrange and pay for any follow-up care.

PHI is need when assigning your ECG reading to a medical professional licensed in your state.

If you’d like to receive your ECG interpretation earlier, please contact your physician during office hours. You may also request a faster interpretation through EKG360, P.C. via the Website or App. If you select EKG360, P.C. for your interpretation, you will be provided with the name, credentials, and qualifications of the licensed clinician providing the ECG interpretation.

If you’d like to have the records relating to the Service (“Records”) sending to your primary care provider, please contact QT Medical through the App or the Website to request the transfer.
