Information for the doctor 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 measurement, the irregular heartbeat
symbol is displayed after the measurement. If the symbol appears more
frequently (e.g., several times per week on measurements performed
daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, 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.
5.7. Hypertension risk indicator
The bars on the left-hand edge of the LCD show you the range within
which the indicated blood pressure value lies. Depending on the height of
the bar, the readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline
(yellow) or danger (orange, red) range.
The classification is based on standards established by the National Insti-
tutes of Health JNC7, 2003. Refer to the chart in section 2.2 of this
instruction manual for details of the classifications.
