Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the performances of investigational Irregular Rhythm Notification Feature (version 2.0) and Atrial Fibrillation History Feature algorithms.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Able to read, understand, and provide written informed consent
  • Willing and able to participate in the study procedures as described in the consent form
  • Be 22 years of age and older
  • Able to communicate effectively with and follow instructions from the study staff
  • Able to wear the wrist device for duration of study participation
  • For Cohort 1, have no known medical history of AF
  • For Cohort 2, have no known medical history of AF and active diagnosis of at least one of the following arrhythmias within the past 2 years:
  • Frequent PACs, defined as at least 1% of total beats of atrial ectopic beats by 24-48 hour Holter, ambulatory ECG monitor, or implantable loop recorder)
  • Frequent PVCs, defined as at least 1% of total beats of ventricular ectopic beats by 24-48 hour Holter, ambulatory ECG monitor, or implantable loop recorder
  • SVT, which will include atrial tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia, atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia by 12-lead ECG or 24-48 hour Holter, ambulatory ECG monitor, or implantable loop recorder
  • NSVT, defined as three or more consecutive ventricular beats at a rate of at least 100 beats per minute and lasting no more than 30 seconds, by 12-lead ECG or 24-48 hour Holter, ambulatory ECG monitor, or implantable loop recorder
  • For Cohorts 3 and 4, have a known diagnosis of AF at the time of screening (confirmed by electronic medical record (EMR) or self-report) and have had a recent episode of AF, or confirmed AF on ECG, in the past 12 months
  • For Cohort 4, have a known diagnosis of permanent AF at the time of screening (confirmed by EMR or self-report) and have had a recent episode of AF, or confirmed AF on ECG, in the past 12 months
  • Meet additional binning based on demographics.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Physical disability that precludes safe and adequate testing
  • Mental impairment resulting in limited ability to cooperate
  • Known uncontrolled medical conditions, such as (but not limited to) significant anemia, important electrolyte imbalance and untreated or uncontrolled thyroid disease
  • Open wound(s) on the wrist and/or forearm
  • Tattoos, large moles, or scars on the wrist at the wrist device location
  • Skin conditions on either wrist that would preclude subject from wearing a wristband on either wrist
  • Known allergy or sensitivity to medical adhesives, isopropyl alcohol, wristbands, or ECG patch
  • Medical history or physical assessment finding that makes the subject inappropriate for participation according to investigator(s)
  • Participation in a previous study that used a wrist-worn sensor device with a simultaneous ECG reference patch
  • Implantable cardiac devices such as a Pacemaker or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
  • Clinically significant hand tremors, as judged by the investigator
  • Acute illness including COVID and other respiratory illnesses
  • Subjects with known history of AF on rhythm control medications with history of complete AF rhythm control (i.e history of zero AF burden) will be excluded from Cohorts 3 and 4
