Kinetic™ ECG Algorithm
Kinetic™
ECG Algorithm
The Kinetic™ ECG Algorithm provides signal processing and interpretation of the ECG waveform, thereby aiding health care professionals in assessing cardiac parameters. It provides highly accurate QRS detection and feature extraction, beat classification, interval measurement, and rhythm interpretation for up to sixteen leads of captured ECG data.
Kinetic™ ECG Algorithm Family

|
Kinetic™ Intervals | Interval measurements between any two fiducial points |
Kinetic™ Rhythms | Interpretation of up to 16 distinct core rhythms |
Kinetic™ AF | Detection of Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter |
Kinetic™HRV | Measurement of Heart Rate Variability |
Kinetic™ QRS | R peak identification and HRV evaluation |
Kinetic™ is so versatile, it enables real-time or historical analysis in platforms ranging from in-hospital or call center PC or Server-based devices to small, patient-worn ambulatory devices that employ microcontrollers or DSP’s. The various Kinetic algorithms are easily combined and integrated together to provide you the functionality you need. Some key features of Kinetic™ are:
- Highly accurate
- Efficient code
- minimal battery usage
- Real-time
- No warm-up period
- On-line beat-by-beat output
- Analyze up to 16 leads
- T wave morphology changes
- Beat classification
- Arrhythmia detection
- Annotation file for further offline analysis
- Smoothed output for GUI usage
Kinetic™ is based on a novel method for detection of the QRS complex. At the core of the Kinetic™ ECG Algorithm is a unique waveform filter. This filter identifies the QRS by its intrinsic properties, which remain the same regardless of the wave’s changing morphology and rhythm patterns. Kinetic is able to process ECGs in

The application and processor used will determine the optimal configuration of the Kinetic™ ECG Algorithm. Monebo will work with you to determine the best combination of features and system design based on your individual needs. An early version of the Algorithm received 510(k) clearance in 2007. The current version, which incorporates many enhanced features must be cleared in your device. The FDA considers the algorithm to be a “component”.
