Irregular Heartbeat Symbol; Risk Category Indicator - CVS Pharmacy BM 35 Manual De Instrucciones

Note: A single measurement does not provide an accurate indica-
tion of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several
readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure
at the same time each day for consistency.

6.1 Irregular heartbeat symbol

WARNING:
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function does not replace a cardiac
examination, but may help to detect potential heart rate ir-
regularities at an early stage. Always consult your physician to
determine what will be suitable for you.
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function is not designed for diagnos-
ing or treating an arrhythmic disorder. Arrhythmia can only be
ascertained by a licensed physician.
This symbol indicates that certain heart rate irregularities were
detected during the measurement.
In general, an irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that
is more than 25% slower or 25% faster from the average rhythm
detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic
blood pressure.
In order to filter the unstable status of user and avoid affecting the
detection of heart rate from any movement, shaking or talking in the
beginning of measurement, the method of averaging heart beat inter-
vals of subject device is calculated with the three proper heart beat
pulses detected in the beginning of measurement and that is different
from a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals.
At least 3 beats with at least 25% difference from the average heart
beat interval will generate the IHB icon on the screen.
NOTE:
• Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular heart rate during the meas-
urement can result in the appearance of this symbol.
• Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed after the
measurement. Please note that you should rest at least 5 minutes
between measurements and not talk or move during the meas-
urement. If the icon continues to be displayed in subsequent
readings, we recommend you to consult your physician in order
to determine if it is cause for concern. Do not try to interpret read-
ings or attempt to treat any condition yourself. Always follow the
guidance of a health professional. If you have an emergency call
911 immediately.

6.2 Risk Category Indicator

WARNING:
• The Risk Category Indicator chart is not intended to replace a
medical diagnosis. This chart is only a reference for different
classifications of blood pressure.
This device is equipped with a Risk Category Indicator which clas-
sifies your blood pressure measurements into four stages (Normal,
Pre-hypertension, Stage 1 Hypertension to Stage 2 Hypertension)
based on the blood pressure standards established by the U.S. De-
partment of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes
of Health. Besides, for your and your loved ones' health, we further
classify the four stages into numeral ranges, which sorts out hyper-
tension symptoms more clearly. Moreover, for your convenience
and readability, we use four corresponding colors to represent your
measuring result. Refer to below comparison chart for details:
