Irregular Heartbeat Symbol; World Health Organization (Who) Classification - Beurer Life BM 66/U Mode D'emploi

NOTE:
A single measurement does not provide an accurate indica-
tion of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your
blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

7.1 Irregular heartbeat symbol

WARNING:
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function does not replace a car-
diac examination, but may help to detect potential pulse
irregularities at an early stage. Always consult your phys-
ician to determine what will be suitable for you.
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function is not designed for
diagnosing or treating an arrhythmic disorder. Arrhyth-
mia can only be ascertained by a licensed physician.
This symbol indicates that certain heartbeat/pulse ir-
regularities were detected during the measurement. In gen-
eral, an irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm
that is more than 25 % slower or 25 % faster from the aver-
age rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the
systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
NOTE:
• Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the
measurement can result in the appearance of this sym-
bol.
• Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest
at least 5 minutes between measurements and not talk
or move during the measurement. If the icon continues
to be displayed in subsequent readings, we recommend
you to consult your physician in order to determine if it is
cause for concern. Do not try to interpret readings or at-
tempt to treat any condition yourself. Always follow the
guidance of a health care professional. If you have an
emergency call 911 immediately.
