for 24 or 48 hours while you go about your normal activities.

of a conventional pager, you may go about your normal activities without any
restrictions.
What happens after the Bravo study?
A. After the study period you will need to return the Bravo Receiver to your
physician so your study can be uploaded to a computer and analyzed by your
physician. You will be provided with the results soon after your test.
What are the benefits of the Bravo System?

sleep.
