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 EKG
performance is suggested for determining the exact
rhythm abnormality.
