Conditions

Atrial Fibrillation

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to confirm the software's ability to create a Lead-1 electrocardiogram (ECG) that is clinically equivalent to a reference device. Also, to confirm a rhythm classification algorithm and its ability to detect and classify heart rhythms into two categories (Sinus Rhythm or Atrial Fibrillation) using a single Lead ECG.

Interventions

All participants will record three single-lead ECGs

All participants will simultaneously record three 12-lead ECGs

Inclusion criteria

* Individuals who are 22 years of age and older * Able to read, understand, and provide written informed consent * Willing and able to participate in the study procedures as described in the consent * Have a wrist circumference that fits within the band * Able to communicate effectively with and follow instructions from the study staff * For subjects enrolled into the AF population, subjects must have a known diagnosis of AF and be in AF at the time of screening

Exclusion criteria

* Physical disability that precludes safe and adequate testing * Mental impairment resulting in limited ability to cooperate * Subjects with a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) * Acute myocardial infarction (MI) within 90 days of screening or other cardiovascular disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, increases the risk to the subject or renders data uninterpretable * Acute pulmonary embolism, pulmonary infarction, or deep vein thrombosis within 90 days of screening * Stroke or transient ischemic attack within 90 days of screening * Subjects taking rhythm control drugs * Symptomatic (or active) allergic skin reactions such as eczema, rosacea, impetigo, dermatomyositis or allergic contact dermatitis on both wrists or over electrode attachment sites * Known sensitivity to medical adhesives, isopropyl alcohol, watch bands, or electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes including known allergy or sensitivity to fluoroelastomer bands primarily used in wrist worn fitness devices * A history of abnormal life-threatening rhythms as determined by the investigator * Significant tremor that prevents subject from being able to hold still * Pregnant women: Women who are pregnant at the time of study participation * For subjects enrolled into the sinus rhythm population, they must not have any diagnosis of AF

Sensitivity of rhythm classification

Time frame: 1 Day

Population: Classifiable Analysis Set: All subjects who had readable/classifiable paired Software and Reference strips were used. This analysis set was used for analyzing the primary endpoints of sensitivity and specificity.
