Advanced Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This device equipped an Advanced IHB detection feature. The symbol Advanced IHB appears
on screen indicates the specific heartbeat irregularity was detected during measurement.
The Advanced IHB is designed to enhance the detectability on irregular heartbeats that arise
from the internal causes of human body and tend to affect the blood pressure reading during
the measurement. The algorithm of Advanced IHB can identify the specific irregular
heartbeats that may cause deviated blood pressure reading. The principle of Advanced IHB
is to collect and analyze pulse signal frequency from the user's finger. If the specific irregular
heartbeats are detected and it may affect blood pressure reading with deviation, the device
will give the user a warning signal to indicate the measured blood pressure reading may be
inaccurate. The specific type of heart arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat that may affects the
accuracy of blood pressure measurement. The feature can inform the user that the
measured blood pressure reading may be inaccurate once the specific irregular heartbeats
are detected. The detection of Advanced IHB is determined by collecting a period of pulse
signals from the Advanced IHB detection area.
If Advanced IHB is detected during measurement, the Advanced IHB positive symbol
we recommend the patient to seek professional medical advice. And please note that the
device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect specific pulse irregularity
at an early stage.

*Note
 Sometimes the device will determine Advanced IHB positive even when it
is not there. This could happen if the hand and finger move during the
measuring or another rhythm problem is present. Keep the hand and
finger still during the measuring.
 This device may not detect Advanced IHB correctly in people with
pacemakers or defibrillators.
 We recommend you consult with your physician for proper diagnosis or
seek medical advice, if Advanced IHB positive symbol appears frequently.
