Irregular Heartbeat:
This device can detect irregular heartbeat patterns dur-
ing 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 heartbeats, slow or
excessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among
other things, by heart disease, age, physical predis-
position, 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 Indi-
cator displays after a measurement. Rest for at least
five minutes between measurements and do not talk
or move during measurement. If the
often, contact your doctor, since self-diagnosis and
treatment based solely on the test results may be dan-
gerous. It is vital to follow your doctor's instructions
