Please note that certain features of CardioVisions require a lot of calculations, so the faster
your computer is, the shorter time you will need to get a 24-hour ECG recording analyzed.
ABPM installation and first start
There are two very common errors that occur installing CardioVisions software.
- The default user is admin and this account is created with the installation. In order to use
the device you must create a ’user’ account. The Admin cannot access the recorder or patient
data.
- Registration does not apply to ABP monitors. This process is for other products only.
Installing CardioVisions Personal Edition
CardioVisions Personal Edition should be installed if you want to use the software on one
PC or if you need demo data only. You need to go through the following steps:
- Select your preferred language
- Read and accept the License Agreement
- Choose components to install
Here the installation of the USB driver is strongly advised.
- Choose recorder types you want to use
- Select the target folder of the installation
- Choose a Start menu folder for usual shortcuts.
After finishing the installation, CardioVisions setup creates a startup icon on your desktop.

The disk space necessary for the database depends on recorder type, number of patients and number of
examinations. Typically, it takes 75 MB to store 1000 ABPM recordings without reports. ABPM recordings are
small. The installation of demo data requires about 200 MB, too.
