5.6. Irregular Heartbeat Detection
This symbol
indicates that certain pulse
irregularities were detected during the measurement. In
this case, the result may deviate from your normal 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 for the doctor on frequent appearance
of the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure
monitor device that also analyzes pulse frequency during
measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the
irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed after the
measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently
(e.g. several times per week on measurements per-
formed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than
usual, we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination,
but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
