Operation of the device
6. Irregular pulse waves
If the irregular pulse wave symbol flashes after a
measurement, the monitor has registered an irregu-
lar pulse during the measurement. This can be set off
by an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), disturbances
caused by movement, talking or even breathing
in deeply. Essentially, it involves the detection of
an event which can unfavourably influence the
measurement results. Measurement results accom-
panied by flashing heart symbol displays should
therefore be viewed as critical and repeated under
more favourable conditions.
Constant repetition of measurements can bring about
congestion and thus lead to incorrect results.
Between measurements take a break of at least 3-5
minutes.
