PM220 does not detect AFIB

Recently I spent 24 hrs in the ER. One of the things they detected was afib.  Several weeks later I had a Pacemaker (PM2210) checkup and the technician said there was no record of me ever having an afib episode. He said afib episodes are never erased. Both the technician and the cardiologist reviewed the results of the Pacemaker checkup and both agreed that there was no evidence of an afib episode. The cardiologist said he did not believe the results of the test. I am having another Pacemaker checkup in a couple of weeks. Is there anything special I need to know about detecting afib with a PM220 that I can discuss with the technician before he performs the tests?

It is just over 10 years since a dual lead device was implanted for complete heart block. It has worked perfectly and I have traveled well near two million miles internationally since then.
