5.5. Irregular Heartbeat detection
The appearance of this symbol
indicates that certain
pulse irregularities were detected during the measure-
ment. In this case, the result may deviate from your nor-
mal basal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In
most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g., several times a
week with measurements taken daily), we advise you to
tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information on frequent appearance of the irregular
heartbeat symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor
device that also analyzes pulse frequency during mea-
surement. The instrument is clinically tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during the measurement, the
irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed with the measure-
ment. If the symbol appears frequently or if it suddenly
appears more often than usual, we recommend the
patient seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination
but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
