What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Microlife blood pressure monitor with AF detection (Microlife AFIB MLU3MQ1)Device

    Also called Microlife AFIB MLU3MQ1

    Monitoring heart rhythm daily for 30 days using the blood pressure monitor and the ECG recorder.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of the blood pressure monitor used for detecting atrial fibrillation compared to the electrocardiogram.

    Measured: After final subject data is available.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess subjects understanding of the use of the device for atrial fibrillation.

    Measured: After final subject data is available.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation, run by Microlife at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity and specificity of the blood pressure monitor used for detecting atrial fibrillation compared to the electrocardiogram. (time frame: After final subject data is available.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jan 2010.
