IRREGULAR HEART BEAT MESSAGE
If irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement
procedure, a message will be displayed. Repeat the measurement
after one hour. If irregular heart beat is detected several times in
a day or week, we recommend you discuss this with your doctor.
Under this condition, the wireless blood pressure monitor can
keep functioning, but the results may be inaccurate. There are
2 conditions under which the signal of irregular heart beat will
be displayed:
1. The coeffcient of variation (CV) of pulse period >25%.
2. The difference between adjacent pulse periods ≥0.14s and the
number of such pulses constitutes more than 53 percent of
the total number of pulses.
