4. If audio output is on, the device will announce the results for systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,
heart rate (pulse), blood pressure classification category, and, if applicable, irregular heartbeat (see
the “Irregular Heartbeat” section below for details). While the announcement plays, you can adjust
the playback volume using the +/- Buttons.

7. Evaluating Results
Irregular Heartbeat:
This device can detect irregular heartbeat patterns during measurement and will indicate them by
displaying the Irregular Heartbeat Icon and announcing ““A possible cardiac arrhythmia was found.”
This could be an indicator for arrhythmia, a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal. These
symptoms (omitted or premature heartbeats, slow or excessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among
other things, by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress, or lack
of sleep. Only your doctor can determine if you do have arrhythmia.
Repeat the measurement if the Irregular Heartbeat Icon displays after a measurement. Rest for at
least five minutes between measurements and do not talk or move during measurement. If the icon
appears often, contact your doctor, since self-diagnosis and treatment based solely on the test results
may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor‘s instructions.
Risk indicator:
Measurements can be classified and assessed by the table below. However, these standard values
are only a general guideline, since individual blood pressure varies in different people and different age
groups, etc.
