3.3. Reading measurement results
When the measurement has been con-
cluded, a long beep tone sounds. The meas-
ured systolic and diastolic blood pressure val-
ues, as well as the pulse are now displayed.
The appearance of this symbol sig-
nifies that an irregular heartbeat was de-
tected. This indicator is only a caution. It is
important that you be relaxed, remain still
and do not talk during measurements.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see
this indicator frequently.
The cuff pressure can now be quickly re-
leased by pressing the quick release valve at
the pumping bulb.
Note
To prolong the batteries’ life the device
switches off automatically if no button is
pressed for minutes. Otherwise you can
switch it off by pressing the START button.
3.4. Inflating further
If the cuff is not inflated sufficiently, the
measurement is stopped after a few seconds
and a flashing arrow pointing upwards
appears in the display. It is then necessary
to inflate at least 0 mmHg higher than the
previous value. The instruction to inflate fur-
ther can appear several times if the pressure
is still not sufficient.
ATTeNTION:
If the cuff is inflated too far (over 00
mmHg), appears in the display and a
warning signal is sounded. The cuff pressure
must then be immediately released using the
quick-release valve at the pumping bulb!
3.5. Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pres-
sure measurement for any reason (e.g the
patient feels unwell), the quick-release valve
at the pumping bulb can be pressed at any
time. The device then immediately lowers
the cuff pressure automatically.
3.6. Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the sym-
bol of IHD appears on the display that means that certain ab-
normality in heart beat frequency was detected during the meas-
urement. 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 in-
strument is clinically tested.
The symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse ir-
regularities 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 ad-
