associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and
other heart complications.
While the final diagnosis of atrial fibrillation can only be made
by a medical examination, the Beurer AFIB technology of this
device enables it to be detected with a high level of accuracy.
During the blood pressure measurement, possible atrial fibril-
lation is detected and displayed after the measurement with

for the first time and more frequently, please promptly consult
your doctor. If you have previously been diagnosed with atrial
fibrillation, follow your doctor's instructions regarding what to
do in the event that AFIB is detected by the device.
Do not perform self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on
the measurements, but rather always follow the doctor's in-
structions.
Resting indicator (using HSD diagnostics)
One of the most common errors made when taking a blood
pressure measurement is not ensuring that the user's circu-
latory system is sufficiently at rest when taking the measure-
ment. In this case, the measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values do not represent the blood pressure at rest.
However, it is this blood pressure at rest that should be used
to assess the measured values.
This blood pressure monitor uses integrated haemodynamic
stability diagnostics (HSD) to measure the user's haemody-
namic stability when taking the blood pressure measurement.
This enables it to indicate whether the blood pressure was
taken when the user's circulatory system was sufficiently at
rest.

The user's circulatory system not being sufficiently at rest
can be the result of various factors, such as physical stress,
mental strain/distraction, speaking or experiencing cardiac
arrhythmia during the measurement.

The measured blood pressure value was ob-
tained when the user's circulatory system was
sufficiently at rest and reliably represents the
blood pressure at rest.
Indicates that the value was obtained when the
user's circulatory system was not sufficiently
at rest. The blood pressure values measured in
this case generally do not represent the blood
pressure at rest. The measurement should
therefore be repeated after a period of physical
and mental rest lasting at least 5 minutes.
During the measurement it was not possible to
determine whether the user's circulatory system
was sufficiently at rest. In this case too, the
measurement should be repeated after a period
of rest lasting at least 5 minutes.
