5.5. Irregular Heartbeat Detector

This symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may devi-
ate from your normal basal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. 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 for the doctor 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 measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is dis-
played after the measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times
per week on measurements performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than
usual, we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregu-
larities at an early stage.
