Charger 4 didn’t detect my AED or EMT shocks

[JimF92606]

During an Orange Theory Fitness workout, I went into cardiac arrest, wearing both my Charger 4 Fitbit and their studios Arm band heart monitor.  The OTF monitor captured the attached screen shot, where I labeled each event.  Additionally, EMT arrived on scene and administered a 2nd shock.  I still had my Fitbit on my wrist the next morning in the Hospital, although my OTF monitor was removed prior to the EMT shock.  Upon reviewing the Fitbit App 3 weeks later, it didn’t show any of the activity from my incident.  Party due to the fact Charger 4 results seems to record in 5 minute increments.  I would like to upgrade to a Fitbit that records my HR more frequently if one is even available.  Any recommendations?

Hello @JimF92606 and welcome to the Community.  First, you are one lucky man.  You are here to share your experience.  Second, kudos to Orange Theory for their quick response.  You're right about the daily heart rate graph.  It is reported in five minute increments, so it shows you average heart rate for that interval.  Your heart rate is reported in one minute intervals when you use the Exercise app and look at those details.  You don't need to upgrade your Fitbit.

Please don't try to repeat this experience to show that it works.  😉

Thank You for the explanation, it clears up alot of my confusion.. For the
time being, my Cardiac Rehab workouts are within an outpatient Hospital
setting.
