7. Evaluating Results

Irregular Heartbeat:
This device can detect irregular heartbeat patterns
during measurement and will indicate them by
displaying the irregular heartbeat indicator
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia, which is
a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal.
These symptoms (omitted or premature heartbeats,
slow or excessively fast heart rate) may be caused,
among other things, by heart disease, age, physical
predisposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress,
or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascertained
through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the Irregular Heartbeat
Indicator displays after a measurement. Rest for at
least five minutes between measurements and do not
talk or move during measurement. If the icon appears
often, contact your doctor, since self-diagnosis
and treatment based solely on the test results may
be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor's
instructions.
