9. SYMBOL INDICATING ARRHYTHMIA
Pro Afib pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital device that also analyses pulse
rate during blood pressure measurement. If an irregular pulse (arrhythmia) is
detected during measurement, the symbol (
) is displayed after completion of the
measurement (when the measurement results are displayed). In most cases, this
does not give cause for concern. However, if this symbol appears frequently (e.g.
several times per week on measurements performed daily), we recommend you to
inform your doctor. This device does not replace heart diseases diagnostics, but
serves as a device to detect arrhythmia at an early stage.
10. SYMBOL INDICATING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
The device detects atrial fibrillation. If atrial fibrillation is detected during the
measurement, the symbol
is displayed after completion of the measurement
(when the measurement results are displayed). If this symbol is displayed after
having performed a full measurement (two-fold measurement), we advise you to
wait one hour and retake your measurement. If the atrial fibrillation symbol is
displayed again, we recommend you to inform your doctor.
If after repeated measurement, the symbol does not appear there is no cause for
concern. In that case, it is advisable to take another measurement again the next day.
The device may not detect atrial fibrillation for patients with pacemakers and
defibrillators.
11. ERROR MESSAGES
If an error occurs during the measurement, the reading will be interrupted
and an error code
displayed.

Error code
Possible cause ERR
ERR 1
No pulse detected.
ERR 2
Measurement results affected by interference.
Cause: there was an arm movement during measurement.
ERR 3
Inflation of the cuff has taken too long. The cuff has not been wrapped properly.
ERR 5
Measurement has indicated unacceptable difference between the systolic and
diastolic pressure values. Perform another measurement carefully following the
instructions. If unusual results persist, contact your doctor.
Further information. Blood pressure varies even in healthy people, that is why it is important to
always take measurements under the same conditions (peaceful environment). If, despite
following these principles, the fluctuations will be higher than 15 mmHg and irregular pulse rate
occurs repeatedly, consult your doctor. In the event of problems, you should consult with
Diagnosis S.A.
YOU SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE DEVICE YOURSELF! ALL UNAUTHORIZED
ATTEMPTS AT OPENING THE DEVICE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!
If, during the use of the device, a problem occurs, please check the following items and undertake
the listed remedial measures.
