5.6. Irregular heartbeat detection
The appearance of this symbol
indicates that cer-
tain pulse irregularities were detected during the mea-
surement. In this case, the result may deviate from your
normal basal blood pressure – repeat the measurement.
In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if
the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g., several
times a week with measurements taken daily), we
advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information on frequent appearance of the irregu-
lar heartbeat symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure moni-
tor device that also analyzes pulse frequency during
measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during the measurement, the
irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed with the mea-
surement.If the symbol appears frequently or if it sud-
denly appears more often than usual, we recommend the
patient seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination
but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early
stage.
