5.8. Irregular heartbeat detector
The appearance of this symbol indicates that
certain pulse irregularities were detected during the
measurement. In this case, the result may deviate
from your normal basal blood pressure – repeat the
measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for
concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular
basis (e.g., several times a week with measurements
taken daily), we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information on frequent appearance of the
irregular heartbeat symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure
monitor device that also analyzes pulse frequency
during measurement. The instrument is clinically
tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during the measurement,
the irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed with the
measurement.
If the symbol appears frequently or if it suddenly
appears more often than usual, we recommend the
patient seek medical advice. The instrument does
not replace a cardiac examination but serves to
detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
