PARR (Pulse Arrhythmia) Technology

Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology specifically detects the existence of pulse arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation (AF, AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions (PC), Tachycardia (TACH), and Bradycardia (BRAD). Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and thus early diagnosis is of paramount importance. The PARR technology detects arrhythmia during regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and measurement prolongation. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis a specific pulse arrhythmia diagnosis is provided with PARR.

Note: The PARR detection of AF(AFib), PC, TACH and BRAD is provided with a clinically proven high detection probability [1]. However, the sensitivity and specificity is limited, thus most, but not all pulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed. In certain patients with uncommon clinical conditions the PARR technology may not be able to detect pulse arrhythmia. This partly comes from the fact that some arrhythmia can only be found with an ECG diagnosis, but not with a pulse diagnosis. Thus PARR is not meant to replace any medical ECG diagnosis by your doctor. PARR provides an early detection of certain pulse arrhythmia, which inevitably need to be presented to your doctor in charge.

Remark: [1] Clinical Investigation of PARR – A new Oscillometric Pulse Arrhythmia Type Discriminating Detection Technology

Atrial Fibrillation Detection (AF, AFib)

The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) do not contract, but quiver and thus blood is driven irregularly and with lower efficiency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregular heartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly instable heart rate. This condition is associated with a higher risk for the formation of cardiac blood clots. Amongst others, they may elevate the risk of brain strokes. Beside this atrial fibrillation may contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute heart failure condition and may be associated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10 %- 20 % percent of patients who suffer from an ischemic stroke also suffer from atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation most often initially occurs with temporary periods of arrhythmia and may progress to a permanent state of this disorder in the course of time. No matter, whether you intent to safeguard yourself from an undetected AF(AFib) state, or you measure during an ongoing period of active atrial fibrillation, or you measure in between periods of AF(AFib), the PARR technology can be applied at any of these conditions. This unit is able to detect Atrial fibrillation (AF, AFib). The ARR and AF(AFib) icons ( AF ) are displayed right after the measurement if Atrial Fibrillation was detected.

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the AF(AFib) icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your AF(AFib) is known to your doctor, but the incidence of AF(AFib) readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

Note: The presence of a cardiac pacemaker may impair the AF(AFib) detection by PARR.

Premature Contraction Detection (PC)

Extra abnormal heartbeats generated in irregular excitation sites of your heart, either in the atria (PAC), the ventricle (PVC) or the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra beats may disrupt your regular rhythm, they may come in early or cause a significant pauses regarding your perceivable pulse. This is called palpitations, which can be felt in your chest. They may occur as isolated, single events, as a series of irregular pulses or can be distributed all over your pulse beats. If they are not related to mental stress, or acute demanding physical load, they may be a marker for a multitude of cardiac disorders. Some of these disorders go along with an elevated risk profile for ischemic events, either in the heart (e,g, coronary heart disease) or outside the heart, e.g. an elevated risk for a stroke. Some PCs may indicate on valvular or myocardial disorders and become very important if a myocarditis (infection of the heart muscle) is suspected. This unit is able to detect premature contractions. The ARR and PC icons ( PC ) are displayed right after the measurement if premature contractions have been detected.

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the PC icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your PC is known to your doctor, but the incidence of PC readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

Tachycardia Detection (TACH)

A fast heart rate of higher than 100 beats per minute (bpm) in adults. Unless being caused by physical or mental stress, a tachycardia may be an indicator for both cardiac (e.g. Coronary heart disease, valvular disorder), or extra- cardiac disorders (e.g. hyperthyroidism, fever, hypoxemia), as well as medication and stimulant substance side effects (e.g. caffeine). The unit is able to detect Tachycardia (TACH). The ARR and TACH icons ( TACH ) are displayed right after the measurement if tachycardia has been detected.

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the TACH icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your TACH is known to your doctor, but the incidence of TACH readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

Bradycardia Detection (BRAD)

A slow heart rate of less than 55 beats per minute (bpm) in adults. Unless not genetically determined or subsequent to a high cardiac endurance training adaptation, bradycardia may be related to multitude of cardiac disorders (e.g. valvular heart disease, heart failure) or extra-cardiac disorders (e.g. hypothyroidism, electrolyte imbalance) or medications (e.g. beta-receptor blocker). This unit is able to detect Bradycardia (BRAD). The ARR and BRAD icons ( BRAD ) are displayed right after the measurement if bradycardia was detected.

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the BRAD icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your BRAD is known to your doctor, but the incidence of BRAD readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

Pulse Arrhythmia Detection (ARR)

Once the occurrence of pulse arrhythmia has been detected in the course of your blood pressure measurement, the icon ARR is displayed. In the case, that the found pulse arrhythmia can be specified by the PARR technology, the ARR icon is accompanied by the specifically detected type of arrhythmia, e.g. PC, AF(AFib), TACH or BRAD. Once the kind of found pulse arrhythmia cannot be safely determined by PARR, the device is displaying ARR without any additional pulse arrhythmia type icon.

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the ARR icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your ARR is known to your doctor, but the incidence of ARR readings changes over time. This is independent whether the ARR icon is specified by another pulse arrhythmia icon or not. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

The PARR technology is able to detect and display combined pulse arrhythmia findings.

Real Fuzzy Measuring Technology

This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air pressure. This unit will automatically determine the appropriate inflation level based on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deflation.
During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure oscillations and thereby determine your actual the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate.

Measurement Procedures

Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:

• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken.
• Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet flat on the floor during measurement.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
