5.8. Irregular heartbeat detector
The appearance of this symbol indicates that
certain pulse irregularities were detected during the
measurement. In this case, the result may deviate
from your normal basal 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 on frequent appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also
analyzes pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically
tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during the measurement, the irregular
heartbeat symbol is displayed with the measurement.
If the symbol appears frequently or if it suddenly appears more often than
usual, we recommend the patient seek medical advice. The instrument
does not replace a cardiac examination but serves to detect pulse irregu-
larities at an early stage.
