Any experiences with Watchman Implant for A-Fib?

He did not name it but indicated it goes into a small pocket in the chest and is used to determine if watchman is correct for me. I would think the previous week long Holder (?) monitor would do that. Test it again now that I am on eliquis?

The device is approximately 1/8” x 1” x 2” and sends a signal anytime I have an AFib beat. Used to verify need for watchman. He is now scheduling an ultrasound for my abdomin and is changing me at my request from $545 eliquis to $24 warfarin. I am concerned that additional tests are unnecessary since all other tests, except the Holder monitor have been normal.

Perhaps someone else in the group is familiar with this device. You might want to contact the office, either through the patient portal or by phone to get some more information.
