V&H Compact Holter ECG Recorder is designed for extended ECG recording, with support for both 3-channel and 12-lead configurations and recording periods from 24 to 72 hours. The system combines a compact recorder with software for ECG review, analysis, editing, and reporting.
For buyers comparing Holter systems, the recorder itself is only part of the selection. Lead configuration, sampling rate, storage, data transfer, and software capabilities can all affect how the system fits into an actual monitoring workflow.
This guide explains the main specifications and functions to consider when evaluating a compact Holter ECG recorder, using the V&H system as a reference.
Vales and Hills Compact Holter ECG Recorder: An Overview
V&H Holter ECG system combines a small recording device with dedicated software for long-term ECG data processing. The recorder supports 3-channel and 12-lead EKG recording, while the software provides functions covering ECG event analysis, rhythm review, report generation, and data management.
The recorder measures 72 × 53 × 16 mm and weighs 62 g including the battery. Its compact size provides a practical form factor for extended recording without requiring a large recording unit.
The system also supports different recording configurations and durations, allowing buyers to consider the device according to the monitoring task rather than selecting a single fixed setup.
Key Specifications of the Vales and Hills Holter ECG Recorder
3-Channel and 12-Lead ECG Recording
Lead configuration is one of the first specifications to check when comparing an ECG Holter Recorder. Different monitoring requirements may call for different numbers of recorded channels or leads.
The V&H system supports both 3-channel and 12-lead ECG recording. Its Mini Holter recorders cover configurations from 3 to 12 leads, giving buyers more than one recording option within the same product system.
24–72 Hour Recording
Long-term monitoring requires enough storage capacity for the complete recording period. The V&H recorder supports 24–72 hours of recording and uses a 2 GB SD card for data storage.
The software is designed to handle multi-day recordings as well. Multiple days can be edited as one file, while reports can be produced for the complete recording period or separately for each day.
This matters when a monitoring program involves more than a standard 24-hour recording, since the way multiple days are organized can affect the subsequent review and reporting process.
Sampling Rate and Resolution
Sampling rate determines how frequently the ECG signal is sampled during recording, while resolution describes how precisely the recorded signal is represented digitally.
The recorder has a maximum sampling rate of 1024 samples per second, with software support for sampling rates from 128 to 1024 samples/channel/second. Resolution can be set from 8 to 16 bits.
The recorder also has a frequency response of 0.05 Hz to 60 Hz. These specifications provide useful reference points when buyers compare signal acquisition capabilities between different Holter systems.
Memory and Data Transfer
Recorded ECG data is stored on an SD card, with a capacity of 2 GB. Data can be downloaded through either an SD card reader or USB line.
This connection between the recorder and analysis software is important in practice. A Holter system needs to move recorded data into the review stage efficiently, particularly when recordings cover several days and generate larger datasets.
The system also supports LCD signal verification, giving the user a way to check the signal during the recording process.
Pacemaker Detection
The recorder supports pacemaker detection, while the software includes a dedicated function for Holter analysis of pacemaker recordings.
For buyers working with monitoring requirements that include paced rhythms, this is a specification worth checking alongside the system’s broader ECG analysis capabilities.
Holter Monitor Software and ECG Analysis Functions
A Holter recorder collects the ECG data, but the software determines how that data can be reviewed and processed afterward. For this reason, Holter Monitor Software should be considered as part of the complete system rather than as a separate accessory.
V&H software includes functions for rhythm analysis, event review, long-term trend analysis, editing, and report generation.
Arrhythmia Analysis
The software can analyze a range of rhythm events, including VE’s, SVE’s, Bigeminy, Trigeminy, Pairs, Runs, V-Tach, minimum heart rate, and maximum heart rate.
It also supports analysis of ST, pauses, QT/QTc, and bundle branch blocks. These functions allow different types of ECG events to be reviewed within the same analysis workflow.
For long recordings, the software also provides 24-hour ECG full-disclosure scanning with color-coded events. This makes it possible to visually check marked events against the recorded ECG rather than relying only on summarized results.
Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter Detection
The system includes Atrial Fibrillation / Flutter Detection together with an editing menu for these events.
This can be useful when reviewing extended ECG recordings where rhythm changes need to be identified and subsequently checked within the recorded data.
Rather than looking at a single measurement, the software brings event detection and ECG review into the same workflow.
ST and QT/QTc Analysis
ST and QT/QTc analysis can be particularly relevant when the monitoring workflow requires more than basic heart-rate information.
The software provides ST and QT/QTc analysis, together with pause and bundle branch block analysis. It also includes a QT/QTc Analysis Validation Program.
The system can generate 24-hour histograms for HR, ST, QT/QTc, VE, SVE, pauses, and SDNN, providing another way to review changes across the recording period.
Heart Rate Variability Analysis
The software supports both Time Domain and Spectral Heart Rate Variability analysis.
For buyers who need HRV as part of the analysis workflow, having both analysis approaches within the same software environment means that the recorded data can be examined from more than one HRV perspective.
The system also includes Late Potentials SAECG and VectorCardioGraphy functions, extending the analysis options beyond basic Holter rhythm review.
ECG Reports and Data Management
Once ECG analysis is complete, the results need to be organized into a usable report. V&H software supports customized reports, including a custom conclusion format and header logo.
Reports can be previewed, printed in color, exported as PDF, or sent by e-mail. Multi-day recordings can also be handled as a single editing file, which can simplify reporting when the monitoring period extends beyond one day.
The software supports Chinese, Turkish, English, French, Japanese, and Spanish, and is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7/8/10 or above.
Frequently Asked Questions About Holter ECG Recorders
How long can a Holter ECG recorder record?
The V&H recorder supports recording periods from 24 to 72 hours.
What is the difference between 3-channel and 12-lead Holter ECG recording?
They use different ECG recording configurations. The V&H system supports both 3-channel and 12-lead recording, allowing the configuration to be selected according to the monitoring requirements.
What ECG data can Holter Monitor Software analyze?
The software supports arrhythmia analysis, AF/flutter detection, ST and QT/QTc analysis, HRV analysis, pacemaker recording analysis, full-disclosure scanning, histograms, editing, and customized reporting.
How is data transferred from the Holter recorder?
The V&H recorder supports data download through an SD card reader or USB line.
Can a Holter system handle multi-day ECG recordings?
Yes. The software can edit multi-day recordings into one editing file and can generate either one report covering all recording days or separate reports for individual days.
Conclusion
Choosing a compact Holter ECG recorder requires looking beyond the recorder itself. Lead configuration, recording duration, signal acquisition, data storage, and software analysis all need to fit the intended monitoring workflow.
The V&H Holter ECG system combines compact recording hardware with software for ECG analysis, multi-day data editing, and customized reporting. With support for different recording configurations and a range of analysis functions, it can be evaluated according to the specific requirements of an ambulatory ECG monitoring project.
For buyers preparing an RFQ, confirming the required lead configuration, recording duration, cable setup, data transfer method, and analysis functions in advance can make it easier to define the right Holter system configuration.
