Irregular Heartbeat Detector - Walgreens WGNBPA-230 Manual

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.
To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of
the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal effective
heartbeat values. It is 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 the icon on the screen.
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.
