About each indicators
To perform a correct measurement, this unit provides a movement detection
function and an irregular pulse warning function. When the indicators appear, the
correct measurement might not have been obtained. If any indicator appears, it is
recommended to repeat the measurement. Stay calm and relax for four to ve minutes,
before perfoming a new measurement.
The " * " and " " indicator will be recorded together with the measurement
value.
Irregular pulse warning function
Movement detection function
The movement detection function is to indicate, with
, extra pressure on the cu caused by movements
of the arm during the measurement. When movement is
detected and the measurement is completed, the indicator
is displayed after ashing for approx. 6 seconds.
If the pulse rate varies by more than ±25 % from the
average while a measurement is being taken,
will
be displayed when the measurement is completed. The
indicator is displayed after ashing for approx. 6 seconds.
If the
indicator is displayed an irregular pulse rate is detected, which is not
necessarily caused by arrhythmia.
Don’t try to interpret readings or attempt to treat any condition yourself. Always
follow the guidance of a health professional.
However if this indicator continues to display, consult your physician.
Advice:
In general, blood pressure measurements are lower for the second measurement
because you are less nervous and are more tranquil. For people who easily get tense,
measuring twice each time is very eective. It is recommended to store all values
when performing two measurements or more. When taking two measurements,
always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the rst measurement before taking the
second measurement.
If the movements exceed acceptable levels, no reliable
measurement can be performed and the error message "U
12" will be displayed.
