Atrial fibrillation detection instructions
• Use this device regularly, once per week, or once per
month to screen for atrial fibrillation.
• If atrial fibrillation is detected during all readings of the
triple measurements, another measurement session
should be done approximately one hour later.
• If this last reading shows atrial fibrillation contact your
doctor.
• Take this device with you when you see the doctor.
Information for the doctor
This device is designed to detect atrial fibrillation and
false negative readings are very rare. Though it is
programmed to specifically detect atrial fibrillation,
frequent premature beats, marked sinus arrhythmia
or other rhythm abnormalities might cause false
positive readings. If atrial fibrillation is detected by the
device at home, we suggest another reading done in
the doctor’s office. If the atrial fibrillation icon is not
displayed then the previous abnormal readings may
have been due to transient atrial fibrillation. If the
atrial fibrillation icon is displayed then it is suggested
to perform an EKG to determine the exact rhythm
abnormality.
