5.7. Irregular heartbeat detection
The appearance of this symbol
indicates that certain pulse irregulari-
ties were detected during the
measurement. In this case, the result
may deviate from your normal basal
blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. 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 measure-
ments taken daily), we advise you to
tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the follow-
ing 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 irregu-
lar 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 irregularities at an early stage.
