AfibAlert® allows patients who have been diagnosed with, or are susceptible to developing atrial fibrillation (AF) to take periodic readings with a computerized rhythm monitor. The system was developed for the patient that is at risk or has been previously diagnosed with AF, has a history of heart bypass, ablation, or other cardiac abnormality, or is on heart (anti-arrhythmic) medication. In these cases, detecting and determining AF early can potentially reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.The device can record a single channel of ECG data in four ways: (I) via the two thumb electrodes, (2) by placement on the chest, (3) by applying wrist electrodes or (4) applying two sticky electrodes as instructed by their physician. In each case, the patient initiates the recording. An individual recording will take ~45 seconds. Immediately following data acquisition, an internal AF algorithm is used to analyze the patient's rhythm. The appropriate LED (light emitting diode) is illuminated to indicate the presence or absence of AF.If AF is indicated, or concerning symptoms are present, the patient can either use a Bluetooth connection to a smart device or use a USB connection to a computer to transfer their ECG data to be viewed and/or shared with their physician.
