Irregular Heartbeat:
This device can detect irregular heartbeat pat-
terns during measurement and will indicate them
by displaying the irregular heartbeat indicator
.
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia, which is
a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal.
These symptoms (omitted or premature heart-
beats, slow or excessively fast heart rate) may
be caused, among other things, by heart disease,
age, physical predisposition, excessive use of
stimulants, stress, or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia
can only be ascertained through examination by
your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the Irregular Heartbeat
Indicator displays after a measurement. Rest for
at least five minutes between measurements and
do not talk or move during measurement. If the
icon appears often, contact your doctor, since
self-diagnosis and treatment based solely on the
test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow
your doctor's instructions.
