I'm a bit concerned because when I'm checking my pulse with a pulse oximeter, it's showing messages like "suspected short run of fast pulse" and "suspected occasional short pulse interval." Should I be worried about these readings?

So, my dad had blood clots a couple of months ago, but after being treated in the hospital hes doing fine now. Recently, his CT pulmonary angiogram came back normal, which is great. The pulmonologist said he should take Eliquis 5 mg for life. But I noticed that Apigat 5 has the same ingredient, Apixaban 5 mg. Can he take Apigat 5 instead of Eliquis 5? I've attached details for both meds.
