Evaluation of Blood Pressure Monitor With AFib Screening Feature

Evaluation of Blood Pressure Monitor With AFib Screening Feature

This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Omron blood pressure (BP) monitor with AFib screening feature. The primary outcome is to validate if the Omron BP-monitor with AFib screening feature meets acceptance criteria in sensitivity and specificity. The acceptance criteria of the sensitivity and specificity should be statistically non-inferior to those of primary predicate device.

  2. Arm size within 22 cm to 42 cm in circumference
  3. Participants who have an adequate understanding about the study and have given informed written consent before participation
  4. Participants who were diagnosed with AFib and have regularly seen a cardiovascular specialist
  5. Participants who have atrial fibrillation symptoms on ECG at the time of data collection
  6. Participants who have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation
  7. Participants who do not have AFib symptoms on ECG at data collection time
