WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT
The UB-521 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse
rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The Irregular
Heartbeat symbol
will appear in the display window in the event
an Irregular Heartbeat has occurred during measurement. An irregular
heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average
of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement. It is
important that you relax, remain still and refrain from talking during
measurements.
NOTE:
We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
symbol frequently.
