ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an
irregular heart-beat 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.
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the device is
measuring systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. During each measurement, blood
pressure monitor will keep a record of all the pulse intervals and calculate the average
value of them. If there are two or more pulse intervals , the difference between each
interval and the average is more than the average value of ±25% , or there are four or
more pulse intervals ,the difference between each interval and the average is more than
the average value of ±15%, then the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display
with the measurement result.
Please consult a physician if your measuring result falls outside the range.
Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value
has reached a dangerous point.
CAUTION
Why does my blood
pressure fluctuate
throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies
multiple times everyday. It is also affected
by the way you tie your cuff and your
measurement position, so please take the
measurement under the same conditions.
2.If the person takes medicine, the
pressure will vary more.
3.Wait at least 3 minutes for another
measurement.
