Irregular Heartbeat Detection
Your digital blood pressure monitor features Irregular
Heartbeat Detection. This feature allows users to
accurately monitor blood pressure even if an irregular
heartbeat should occur.
When an irregular heartbeat is detected, the IHB icon will
appear on the display, Fig. 1.
NOTE: Please consult with your physician or trained
healthcare professional for further information regarding an
irregular heartbeat and if this symbol appears frequently at
the end of a reading.
