Irregular Heartbeat Detection
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol of IHD
appears on the display that means that certain abnormality in heart beat
frequency was 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.
