Atrial Fibrillation Prevalence
·
1.4 million people have AF
·
1 in 4 people with AF are undiagnosed
·
66% of AF strokes can be averted with
treatment
·
20% of all strokes linked to AF
·
62% not prescribed anticoagulant
·
People with AF x5 higher risk of
stroke
Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke
·
Relation between high blood pressure
and stroke
·
Hypertension number 1 risk factor of
stroke
·
Importance accurate blood pressure
measurement
·
Focus of the high accuracy of BP
measurement by A&D Medical, our heritage + clinical validation
·
Second risk factor of stroke is
atrial fibrillation.
·
A&D have unique AFib detection
(one measurement) to screen for detection e.g. atrial fibrillation.
The UA-767SW
Home blood pressure monitor offers the same functionality and simplicity as the
UA-767S with the added benefit of the A&D Wide Range SlimFit Cuff which can
be used on arms between 22-42cm, meaning that the owner will not need to
purchase additional cuffs if the user's arm lies outside of the normal 32-42cm
range of an Adult cuff.
The %IHB function analyses the user's heartbeat and can pick up
irregular heartbeat, which can point to conditions such as atrial fibrillation
(AF). A&D recommend that, if this indicator shows regularly,
the user contacts their doctor as soon as possible for
further tests. (NOTE: the UA-767SW home blood pressure
monitor is not a diagnostic instrument and if the user is concerned about their
health, they should visit a doctor.)
SlimFit cuffs are both latex-free and metal-free to reduce
irritation for users with sensitive skin, increasing user comfort and helping
to improve the accuracy of measurements.
As blood pressure changes throughout the day and depending on
the user's level of activity, the UA-767SW home blood pressure monitor has a
60-reading memory and takes an average of readings to provide the user with a
"standard" blood pressure measurement.
For users without training with BP monitors, A&D personal
monitors come with Cuff Fit Error and Movement Error indicators to improve the
efficacy and accuracy of the readings being taken. They also indicate where on
the WHO blood pressure classification scale the reading lies (Optimal, Normal,
High Normal, Mild, Moderate & Severe Hypertension).
As with all the A&D home blood pressure monitor range, the UA-767SW is clinically validated, with this model being validated to the highest BHS standard (A/A) which means it is accurate to 5mmHg (millimetres of mercury) on both systolic and diastolic readings.
· Latex- & Metal-Free, - SlimFit Wide Range Cuff (22-42cm) - users with larger
arms no longer need to purchase additional cuffs to obtain a reading
· %IHB Indicator - shows the frequency of Irregular Heartbeat
· Cuff Fit Error Indicator - shows when the cuff is incorrectly wrapped
· Movement Error Indicator - to help reduce the effect of the user's movement on
readings
· WHO Blood Pressure Classification
Indicator - allows the user to
compare their readings with the WHO BP Classification scale
· 60-memory + Average Reading - gives a better indication of the user's
"normal" blood pressure
· Clinically Validated to BHS highest protocol grade (A/A) - readings are
accurate to within 5mmHg
· Uses 4 x AA batteries
· 1 x UA-767SW Blood Pressure Monitor
· 1 x SlimFit Wide Cuff (22-42cm)
· 1 x Carry case
· 4 x AA Batteries
· User Manual
