Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia
disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates
the measurement with the flashing icon
.
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a
condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result
of defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the
heart beat. The symptoms (omitted or premature heart
beats, slow or excessively fast heart rate) may be caused,
among other things, by heart disease, age, physical pre-
disposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress or lack of
sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascertained through exam-
ination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon
is
displayed after the measurement. Please note that you
should rest for 5 minutes between measurements and not
talk or move during the measurement. If the icon
appears often, please contact your doctor. Any self-diag-
nosis and treatment based on the test results may be
dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor’s instructions.
