BodyGuardian One – Instructions for Use 21
Appendix D: Arrhythmia Detection Performance
The BodyGuardian One incorporates a real-time embedded arrhythmia detection algorithm.
The processing steps include signal bandpass and morphological filtering, estimation of the
motion artifact, analysis of the slope, width and amplitude of the signal, decision making logic
to determine location and length of the QRS complexes, atrial activity analysis and template
matching for AF detection.
Algorithm performance testing was done according to the ANSI/AAMI EC57 standard. The
MIT-BIH, AHA, and NST databases were used to verify performance of the algorithm. The
algorithm performance testing summary is provided in the tables below:
