4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol
AK
indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected
during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your
normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this
is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular
basis (e.g. several times a week with measurements taken daily) we
advise you to tell your doctor. Please show your doctor the following
explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also analyses
pulse frequency during measurement. The device is clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse
irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears more
frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements performed
daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to
detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
