indicator for early detection
The WatchBP Office Central is designed to screen for
asymptomatic atrial fibrillation during blood pressure
measurements in the «SCREEN» Mode. If two out of
three measurements in the «SCREEN» Mode detect
atrial fibrillation, the Afib icon is displayed. This device
is able to detect atrial fibrillation with high accuracy: a
sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 89%.
