An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the device is measuring
systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. During each measurement, blood pressure monitor will
keep a record of all the pulse intervals and calculate the average value of them. 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%, then the irregular heartbeat
symbol will appear on the display with the measurement result.
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular
heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern.
However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please
note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse
irregularities at an early stage.
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple times everyday. It is also
affected by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so
please take the measurement under the same conditions.
2.If the person takes medicine, the pressure will vary more.
3.Wait at least 3 minutes for another measurement.
Why do I get a different blood
pressure at home compared
to the hospital?
The blood pressure is different even throughout the day
due to weather, emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is the
“white coat” effect, which means blood pressure usually
increases in clinical settings.
What you need to pay attention
to when you measure your blood
pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the wrist.
If you feel anxious.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths before
beginning will be better for
measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.
Is the result the same if
measuring on the right
wrist?
It is ok for both wrists, but there will be
some different results for different
people. We suggest you measure the
same wrist every time.
