Functions
Irregular heartbeat detector
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring the sys-
tolic and diastolic blood pressure. During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat
intervals and works out the standard deviation. If major pulse irregularities occur, the arrhythmia icon
appears on the display along with the blood pressure readings.
CAUTION
The appearance of the arrhythmia icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular
heart-beat 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.
