6. Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm when meas-
uring and if necessary, indicates this after the measurement with the
symbol . If the voice function is activated, the device will announce:
"A possible cardiac arrhythmia was found." This can be an indicator for
arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal
because of flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat.
The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or
too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical
make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only
be determined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol
is shown on the display after the measurement has been taken, it
should be repeated. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand
and do not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol
appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treat-
ment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your
GP's instructions.
