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 BM
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measure-
ment. Please refer to the next paragraph for information regarding
the consultation with your doctor.
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
fibrillation occurred during measuring. If the AFIB symbol
appears after having performed a full blood pressure measure-
ment episode (triplicate measurements), the patient is advised to
perform another measurement episode (triplicate measure-
ments). 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.
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.
