IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)
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

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.
To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the
average of the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first
