By combining off-the-shelf ECG and unique PPG sensors, and together with proprietary algorithms, the device detects the presence of A-Fib and indicates it to the user. In addition to A-Fib detection, CS System 3 monitors the user’s heart rate. The CardiacSense unique PPG sensor compensates for the interference caused by hand, palm, and finger movement, which in most cases is the primary source of false notifications.
