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.
Fuzzy Logic Measuring Technology
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the
cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent
to the air pressure. This unit will determine the appropriate inflation level based
on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deflation.
During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the
pressure oscillations and thereby determine for you the systolic blood pressure,
diastolic blood pressure, and pulse.
