Irregular Heartbeat:
This device can detect irregular heartbeat patterns during
measurement and will indicate them by displaying the
Irregular Heartbeat Icon
This could be an indicator for arrhythmia, a condition where
the heart rhythm is abnormal. These symptoms (omitted or
premature heartbeats, 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. Only your doctor can determine if you do
have arrhythmia.
Repeat the measurement if the Irregular Heartbeat Icon
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.
