8. IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol of IHD appears on the
display that means that certain abnormalities in heartbeat frequency were detected during the
measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the
measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol
appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measurements taken daily) we advise
you to tell your doctor. Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat
Detector
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also analyses pulse frequency during
measurement. The instrument is clinically tested. The symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times
per week on measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice. The
instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early
stage.
