Irregular Heartbeat Detector
CAUTION
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring the
systolic and diastolic blood pressure. During each measurement, the monitor records all the pulse
intervals and calculate the average; if there are two or more pulse intervals, the difference
between each interval and the average is more than the average value of ±25%, or there are four
or more pulse intervals, the difference between each interval and the average is more than the
average value of ±15%, the irregular heartbeat symbol appears on the display when the
measurement results are appeared.
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular
heart-beat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However,
if the symbol appears o�en, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the
device does not replace a cardiac examina�on, but serves to detect pulse irregulari�es at an
early stage.
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of
the heart, the blood pressure reaches its
maximum value in the cycle, which is called
systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax, the
blood pressure reaches its minimum value in the
cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The chart on the right is the
standard blood pressure classifi-
cation published by American
Heart Association (AHA).
Please consult a physician if your measuring result falls outside the range.
Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value
has reached a dangerous point.
