5.9. Irregular heartbeat detector
The appearance of the irregular heartbeat 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 irregularities at an early stage.
