3.Using the Unit
•
Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats
can influence the results of the measurement.
The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically
determines if the measurement is usable or
needs to be repeated. If the measurement
results are affected by irregular heartbeats but
the result is valid, the result is shown together
with the irregular heartbeat icon. If the irregular heartbeats
cause the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If
the irregular heartbeat icon ( ) is shown after you have
taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the
irregular heartbeat icon is shown frequently, please make
your doctor aware of it.
What is Irregular Heartbeat?
An irregular heartbeat is a
heartbeat rhythm that varies
by more than 25% from the
average heartbeat rhythm
detected while the unit is
measuring the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm is
detected more than twice
during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( )
appears on the symbol when the measurement results are
displayed.
