Question

What are the restrictions?

Answer

• DO NOT use the ECG Monitor App if you have an implanted pacemaker, implanted cardiac defibrillator, or other implanted electronic devices.
• DO NOT use the ECG Monitor App if you have known arrhythmia other than Atrial Fibrillation.
• DO NOT take ECG measurements during any physical activity.
• DO NOT use the ECG App if you are younger than 22 years old.
• DO NOT take ECG measurements during a medical procedure (for example, surgery or external defibrillation procedures)
• DO NOT take ECG measurements when the Galaxy Watch is close to strong electromagnetic fields (for example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or X-Ray equipment, electromagnetic antitheft systems, and metal detectors).
• Make sure that the finger used to record the ECG is uncovered and free of any bruises, scars, or cuts.
• Certain physiological conditions can prevent some people from having a strong enough signal for the ECG App to detect and analyze.
• The ECG apps with irregular heart rhythm notification (IHRN) feature cannot be used to check for any form of arrhythmia other than atrial fibrillation.
• The ECG app with irregular heart rhythm notification (IHRN) feature cannot be used to check for other heart-related conditions such as blood pressure, congestive heart failure, high cholesterol, blood clots, and stroke.
• Even if the irregular heart rhythm notification (IHRN) feature is turned on, not all atrial fibrillation can be detected. This means that Galaxy Watch may not detect all instances of atrial fibrillation and people with atrial fibrillation may not get a notification.
• Your Galaxy Watch must have a minimum of 10 MB of storage for the Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification feature to monitor your heart rhythm. If the watch has less than 10 MB of storage, the feature will stop monitoring and try again when enough storage is available.
• Various things can impair the watch's ability to detect atrial fibrillation. These include a dirty or damaged watch sensor, skin that's too dry or cold, a dark tattoo on the wrist, a hairy wrist, and user movement while the watch is trying to measure.
