I'm obligated to ask this question of Cardiotocograph topic in chapter Foetal Monitoring Instruments of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Benz

To elaborate: An excellent review of ambulatory cardiac event recorders is provided by Benz in 1999. The major advantage of these devices compared with a traditional Holter monitor is that they are small, allow ECG monitoring for longer time periods, and can provide nearly real time data analysis when the patient transmits a recording in proximity to the symptomatic event.
