recommend you seek
medical advice. Please
note that the device does
not replace a cardiac
examination, but serves to
detect pulse irregularities at
an early stage.
Movement, shaking or talking during
the measurement can result in pulse irregularities that may
cause the appearance of this icon. Therefore, it is of great
importance to not move or talk during measurement.
To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the
average of the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first
3 normal effective heartbeat values. It is important to note
that the average is not a strict mathematical averaging of
allrecordedintervals.Atleast3beatswith25%orgreater
difference from the average heartbeat interval will generate
the icon on the screen.
ImportantInformation:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by
people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an
arrhythmia problem. As a safeguard, we recommend that if
you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions
you should check with your physician before using your
blood pressure monitor.
RISK CATEGORY INDEX
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index
that automatically compares each reading to defined levels
established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH)
National Heart Lung and Blood Institute as described
earlier in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your
reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls
in the normal range as defined by NIH. Please note that
cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist
you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided
for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive
blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information.
They are not a substitute for a medical examination by
your physician. It is important for you to consult with
your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your
normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which
you may actually be considered to be at risk.
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was
detected during measurement. Usually this is not a cause
for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we
