Special Function

The atrial brillation indicator for early

detection

The WatchBP Home N is designed to detect atrial brillation

during blood pressure measurements in the «USUAL» Mode,

«DIAG.» Mode and «NOCTURNAL» Mode. When atrial

brillation is detected, the Ab icon is displayed. The device

can detect atrial brillation with high accuracy (sensitivity

of 95% and specicity of 86%)

. If the atrial brillation

icon is displayed after the measurement, it is recommended

to visit a doctor.

Atrial brillation is a major cause of stroke which can be

detected by this device. However, not all risk factors for

stroke, including atrial utter, may be detected by this

device.

This device may not detect atrial brillation in people with

pacemakers or debrillators. People with pacemakers or

debrillators should therefore not use this device to detect

atrial brillation.
