Question

What are the restrictions?

 

Answer

  • DON'T use this Sleep apnea feature if you've already been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
  • DON'T use this Sleep apnea feature if you've been diagnosed with any of these conditions:
  1. Movement related conditions: Parkinson's, Tremor, Periodic Leg Movement During Sleep (PLMS)
  2. Cardiac conditions: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), atrial fibrillation
  3. Lung conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis.
  • DON'T use this Sleep apnea feature if you're under 22 years old.
  • You shouldn't use this Sleep apnea feature if you're pregnant or have temporary symptoms of impaired breathing from flu, allergies, asthma, or any other condition, because your results may be inaccurate.
  • DON'T change the dose or schedule of any medications based on results from this feature. Always talk to your doctor first.
  • Your Galaxy Watch can't catch every case of obstructive sleep apnea. The watch only checks for signs of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and can't detect central sleep apnea.
  • Your Galaxy Watch is not approved by a regulatory body as a pulse oximeter.
  • The sleep apnea feature is only a pre-diagnosis tool. It isn't meant to replace diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional. If you aren't feeling well, contact your doctor, even if the watch doesn't detect signs of sleep apnea.
