48hrs – code HM48 (£410+VAT)
7 days – code HM7d (£575+VAT)
To request a Holter monitor please complete the Holter request form at the bottom of this page.
Upon receipt of our Holter referral form, we will be in touch to acknowledge the booking. We cannot guarantee the date the Holter will arrive at the practice due to courier limitations. However, we will be in touch with a confirmation email once the Holter has been sent out.
We recommend waiting until you have received confirmation from us that the Holter has been sent to organise the fitting appointment with the owners, in order to avoid any disappointment due to potential courier disruptions.
Full fitting instructions will be included in the confirmation email, but can also be downloaded below:
Ideally the Holter should be fitted to your patient when the owners will be around to supervise at home (in case the dog decides to remove it or interfere with it). We would recommend hospitalising feline patients during the duration of their Holter monitoring to limit potential interference with the device.Following fitting of the Holter, canine patients would go home wearing the monitor and would then return to you after the recording period for you to remove the monitor in the clinic.
We ask that you confirm with us the date that you have fitted, and the date that you have removed the Holter, as we then schedule a courier to come and collect this (excluding weekends). A Holter analysis report will then be emailed over to you within 4-5 working days of us receiving the Holter back.
Along with the Holter monitor, we will provide a Holter diary for the owners to complete with significant events whilst the patient is wearing the Holter. We ask you to please ensure the owners understand how to use the diary as this is an important aspect of the analysis, please ensure the diary is brought back when removing the Holter, and packaged up with the monitor.
As part of the Holter request form, you will be asked to accept our terms and conditions for any damage which may occur. Please ensure you and/or the owners are happy with these prior to requesting a Holter.
