often, it can be a sign of heart
rhythm disorders. In this case,
consult your doctor. Severe heart
rhythm disorders may produce
false measurements or impair
the measuring accuracy. Please
discuss with your doctor whether
self-measurement of blood pres-

measured values may occur in
the case of self-measurement
performed by cardiac pacemaker
wearers. The blood pressure
monitor itself has no impact on
the cardiac pacemaker. Please
note that the displayed pulse

the rate of cardiac pacemakers.
Please check with your doctor
whether self-measurement of
blood pressure is advisable if you
are wearing a cardiac pacemaker.
