Atrial Fibrillation Detector
The Watch BP home T can screen for atrial
fibrillation during blood pressure measurement.
The device displays the Afib icon if atrial
fibrillation is detected at the time of the blood
pressure measurement.
People with a history of atrial fibrillation may have
atrial fibrillation on occasion or they may have it all
the time. Using the device regularly can help people
keep track of how often they are in atrial fibrillation. If
the device detects atrial fibrillation in someone who is
not on a blood thinner, that person should contact
their doctor to determine if they need to be on a
blood thinner.
Sometimes the device might detect atrial fibrillation
when it is not there. This is usually caused by other
rhythm abnormalities. Occasionally, the device might
not detect atrial fibrillation even when it is there. On
a repeat reading the device should detect atrial
fibrillation.
The device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people
with pacemakers or defibrillators. It is not
recommended to use for detecting atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.
