The patentability of claims 1-10 and 12-21 is confirmed.
Claims 11 and 22 were not reexamined.
1. A method of determining possible atrial fibrillation, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) detecting irregular pulse rhythms from a succession of time intervals each corresponding to a respective interval of time between successive pulse beats of a sequence of the pulse beats;
(b) analyzing the detected irregular pulse rhythms to make a determination of possible atrial fibrillation; and
(c) indicating the possible atrial fibrillation from the determination.
