measurement. The heartbeat rhythm that is more than or less than 25% from the average rhythm is usually
defined as an irregular heartbeat rhythm. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the meas-
urement can result in the appearance of this symbol. Usually this is not a cause for concern, however if the
symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice.
And please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregu-
larities at an early stage.
*Note!
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers. If a certain pulse irregu-
larity is detected during measurement often, we recommend you seek medical advice
• As a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats
and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you should check with your physician before using your
device.
• The IHB function is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an
arrhythmic problem. In order to filter the unstable status of user and avoid affecting the detection of heart
rate from any movement, shaking or talking in the beginning of measurement, the method of averaging
heart beat intervals of subject device is calculated with the three proper heart beat pulses detected in
the beginning of measurement and that is different from a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded
intervals.
• At least 3 beats with at least 25% difference from the average heart beat interval will generate the IHB icon
on the screen.
