1. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for
early Detection (Active only in MAM mode)
This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AF). This symbol BK
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measure-
ment. Please refer to the next paragraph for information regarding
the consultation with your doctor.
Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.
This device may not or wrongly detect atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.
In the presence of atrial fibrillation the diastolic blood pressure
value may not be accurate.
In the presence of atrial fibrillation using MAM-mode is recom-
mended for more reliable blood pressure measurement.
What is Atrial Fibrillation (AF)?
Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat. Certain
cells in your heart produce electrical signals that cause the heart to
contract and pump blood. Atrial fibrillation occurs when rapid, disorga-
nized electrical signals are present in the heart’s two upper chambers,
called the atria; causing them to contract irregularly (this is called fibril-
lation). Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of heart arrhythmia.
It often causes no symptoms, yet it significantly increases your risk of
stroke. You’ll need a doctor to help you control the problem.
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The AFIB symbol is displayed after the measurement, if atrial fibrilla-
tion occurred during measuring. If the AFIB symbol appears after
having performed a full blood pressure measurement episode (tripli-
cate measurements), the patient is advised to perform another
measurement episode (triplicate measurements). If the AFIB symbol
appears again, we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
If the AFIB-symbol appears on the screen of the blood pressure
monitor, it indicates the possible presence of atrial fibrillation.
The atrial fibrillation diagnosis however, must be made by a
cardiologist based on ECG interpretation.
