Irregular Heartbeat Symbol - Beurer BM 44 Instruction Manual

WARNING:
• Only a physician or a trained health care professional
who is familiar with your medical history is able to ac-
curately interpret your blood pressure measurements.
Consult your physician before starting blood pressure
monitoring.
• Please note that technically related measuring toler-
ances are possible. Please see section "10. Technical
Specifications" for details.
• If you notice abnormal or suspicious variations in blood
pressure measurements, consult your physician im-
mediately.
Note: A single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take
and record several readings over a period of time. Try to
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day
for consistency.

6.1 Irregular heartbeat symbol

WARNING:
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function does not replace a car-
diac examination, but may help to detect potential pulse
irregularities at an early stage. Always consult your phy-
sician to determine what will be suitable for you.
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function is not designed for di-
agnosing or treating an arrhythmic disorder. Arrhythmia
can only be ascertained by a licensed physician.
This symbol indicates that certain heartbeat/pulse ir-
regularities were detected during the measurement. In gen-
eral, an irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm
that is more than 25 % slower or 25 % faster from the av-
erage rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the
systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
NOTE:
• Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the
measurement can result in the appearance of this symbol.
• Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest
at least 5 minutes between measurements and not talk or
move during the measurement. If the icon continues to be
displayed in subsequent readings, we recommend you to
consult your physician in order to determine if it is cause
for concern. Do not try to interpret readings or attempt to
treat any condition yourself. Always follow the guidance of
a health professional. If you have an emergency call 911
immediately.
