B) Key advantages
Reduction of:
• Device scattering
• Insufficient rest prior to measurement
• Movement artefacts
• Cuff positioning influences
C) Medical benefits
• Improved accuracy
• Reliable patient self-measurement data for the doctor
• Safe hypertension diagnostic
• Reliable therapy control
D) Measurement sequence
• With the full measurement cycles, the total measurement
time remains less than 3 minutes, compared to a single measurement time of 1.5 minute.
• Single results are not displayed.
• Due to the «Data Analysis» result, a 4th measurement may be applied.
2.5. IHD - Pulse Arrhythmia Detection
Appearance of the Arrhythmia indicator
The appearance of this symbol
signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during the
measurement. The result can vary from your normal blood pressure. As a rule this is not a cause for
concern; however, 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 you inform your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Arrhythmia indicator
This DIGITENSIO POIGNET MAM device is an oscillometric blood pressure measuring device that
also analyses the pulse frequency during measurement. The accuracy of this device has been
clinically validated.
If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the arrhythmia 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 device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an
early stage.
