Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia
disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates the
measurement with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-
tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects
in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The
symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or exces-
sively 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 as-
certained through examination by your doctor.

The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two dif-
ferent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and
diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic WHO clas-
sification on the unit indicates the higher range (high-normal in
the example described).
