IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
The appearance of the
icon indicates
that a pulse irregularity consistent with an
irregular heartbeat was detected during
measurement. Usually this is not a cause
for concern. However, if the symbol appears
often, we recommend you seek medical
advice. Please note that the device does not
replace a cardiac examination, but serves to
detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Movement, shaking, or talking during the
measurement can result in pulse irregularities
that may cause the appearance of this icon. Therefore, it is of great
importance to not move or talk during measurement.
To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of
the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal effective
heartbeat values. It is important to note that the average is not a strict
mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats
with 25% or greater difference from the average heartbeat interval will
generate the
icon on the screen.
Important Information:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by people with
arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem. As a
safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias, such as atrial
or ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special
conditions, you should check with your physician before using your
blood pressure monitor.
