ment. 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. To determine
the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of the heartbeat

important to note that the average is not a strict mathematical
averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats with 25% or
greater difference from the average heartbeat interval will generate
