Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology specifically detects the existence of pulse arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation (AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions (PC). Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and thus early diagnosis is of paramount importance. The PARR technology detects arrhythmia during regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and measurement prolongation. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis a specific pulse arrhythmia diagnosis is provided with PARR.
Note: The PARR detection of AFib and PC is provided with a clinically proven high detection probability [1]. However, the sensitivity and specificity is limited, thus most, but not all pulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed. In certain patients with uncommon clinical conditions the PARR technology may not be able to detect pulse arrhythmia. This partly comes from the fact that some arrhythmia can only be found with an ECG diagnosis, but not with a pulse diagnosis. Thus PARR is not meant to replace any medical ECG diagnosis by your doctor. PARR provides an early detection of certain pulse arrhythmia, which inevitably need to be presented to your doctor in charge.
Remark: [1] Clinical Investigation of PARR - A new Oscillometric Pulse Arrhythmia Type Discriminating Detection Technology.
The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) do not contract, but quiver and thus blood is driven irregularly and with lower efficiency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregular heartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly instable heart rate. This condition is associated with a higher risk for the formation of cardiac blood clots. Amongst others, they may elevate the risk of brain strokes. Beside this atrial fibrillation may contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute heart failure condition and may be associated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10%- 20% percent of patients who suffer from an ischemic stroke also suffer from atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation most often initially occurs with temporary periods of arrhythmia and may progress to a permanent state of this disorder in the course of time. No matter, whether you intent to safeguard yourself from an undetected AFib state, or you measure during an ongoing period of active atrial fibrillation, or you measure in between periods of AFib, the PARR technology can be applied at any of these conditions. This unit is able to detect Atrial fibrillation (AFib). The ARR and AFib icons () are displayed right after the measurement if Atrial Fibrillation was detected.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the AFib icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your AFib is known to your doctor, but the incidence of AFib readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
Note: The presence of a cardiac pacemaker may impair the AFib detection by PARR.
Extra abnormal heartbeats generated in irregular excitation sites of your heart, either in the atria (PAC), the ventricle (PVC) or the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra beats may disrupt your regular rhythm, they may come in early or cause a significant pauses regarding your perceivable pulse. This is called palpitations, which can be felt in your chest. They may occur as isolated, single events, as a series of irregular pulses or can be distributed all over your pulse beats. If they are not related to mental stress, or acute demanding physical load, they may be a marker for a multitude of cardiac disorders. Some of these disorders go along with an elevated risk profile for ischemic events, either in the heart (e, g, coronary heart disease) or outside the heart, e.g. an elevated risk for a stroke. Some PCs may indicate on valvular or myocardial disorders and become very important if a myocarditis (infection of the heart muscle) is suspected. This unit is able to detect premature contractions. The ARR and PC icons () are displayed right after the measurement if premature contractions have been detected.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the PC icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your PC is known to your doctor, but the incidence of PC readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
Once the occurrence of pulse arrhythmia has been detected in the course of your blood pressure measurement, the icon ARR is displayed. In the case, that the found pulse arrhythmia can be specified by the PARR technology, the ARR icon is accompanied by the specifically detected type of arrhythmia, e.g. PC or AFib. Once the kind of found pulse arrhythmia cannot be safely determined by PARR, the device is displaying ARR without any additional pulse arrhythmia type icon.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the ARR icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your ARR is known to your doctor, but the incidence of ARR readings changes over time. This is independent whether the ARR icon is specified by another pulse arrhythmia icon or not. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
The PARR technology is able to detect and display combined pulse arrhythmia findings.

This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air pressure. This unit will automatically determine the appropriate inflation level based on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deflation.
During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure oscillations and thereby determine your actual the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate.
This Blood Pressure Monitor complies with the European regulations and bears the CE mark "CE 0120". The quality of the device has been verified and conforms to the provisions of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive), Annex I essential requirements and applied harmonized standards.

This blood pressure monitor was designed for long service periods. In order to ensure continued accuracy, it's recommended that all digital blood pressure monitors require re-calibration. This monitor (under normal usage with approx. 3 measurements a day) does not require re-calibration for 2 years. Once the unit should be re-calibrated the device will display . The unit should also be re-calibrated if the monitor sustains damage due to blunt force (such as dropping) or exposure to fluids and / or extreme hot or cold temperature / humidity changes. When
appears, simply return your device to your nearest dealer for re-calibration service.
Refer to the definitions of the World Health Organization, the blood pressure ranges can be classified into 6 grades. (Ref. 1999 WHO-International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the management of Hypertension). This blood pressure classification are based on statistical data, and may not be directly applicable to any particular patient. It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk. For reliable monitoring and reference of your blood pressure, keeping long-term records is recommended. Please download the blood pressure log at our website www.rossmax.com.
