A&D’s unique AFib+ technology provides a screening tool for both an Irregular Heart Beat (IHB) and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). This technology is now available on the latest range of blood pressure monitors.
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.
Simple and easy blood pressure measurement
The UA-767S is the successor of the UA-767 series and sets the standard for personal use. This monitor is easy to use and features the %IHB function with memory upgraded to 60 readings.
The frequency of IHB (Irregular Heart Beat) detection is divided into different grades and shown by icons. You can see how often IHB has been detected (indicating the level of risk). If the grade is high, you should consult a doctor immediately. This %IHB function is not to be used for diagnosis, but for monitoring purposes only.
The new SlimFit cuffs are made entirely latex-free and metal-free to reduce irritation for users. The UA-767S comes with an Adult cuff (for 22-32cm arms) as standard. Other cuff sizes are available in the Related Products section above.
To help achieve accurate blood pressure measurement, A&D monitors come with Cuff Fit and Movement Error indicators which light up when the cuff is applied too loosely or the user is moving, both of which can impact on the accuracy of the readings.
With a 60 reading memory capacity, the UA-767S provides an average of readings to try to eliminate the effect of anomalous measurements. This is useful because blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day, for example, after eating, exercise or smoking.
Features:
- Latex and metal free SlimFit Medium Cuff (22-32cm)
- %IHB Indicator – shows frequency of Irregular Heartbeat
- Cuff Fit Error Indicator – lights up to show when the cuff is fitted too loosely
- Movement Error Indicator – lights up to show when the user is moving in a way that will affect the measurement
- WHO Blood Pressure Classification Indicator – compares the user’s blood pressure against the WHO BP Classification scale
- 60-memory + Average Reading – provides an average blood pressure reading
