one single measurement.
· Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.

closely as it can change drastically during this time!
· If you suer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
„Section 4.“), measurements taken with this instrument should
only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

of heart pacemakers!
