IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
The appearance of the
icon
indicates that a pulse irregularity
consistent with an irregular heartbeat
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.
Movement, shaking, or talking during the measurement can
result in pulse irregularities that may cause the appearance of
this icon. Therefore, it is of great importance to not move or talk
during measurement.
During each measurement, the blood pressure monitor will keep
a record of all the pulse intervals and calculate the average value
of them. If there are 2 or more pulse intervals with 25% or greater
difference, or if there are 4 or more pulse intervals with 15% or
greater difference from the average heartbeat interval, then the
irregular heartbeat symbol
will appear on the display with the
measurement result.
Important Information:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by people with
arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem.
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 blood pressure monitor.
