WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT
The UB-512 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate
measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The Irregular Heartbeat
symbol will appear in the display window in the event an Irregular
Heartbeat has occured during measurement. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a
heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the
blood pressure measurement. It is important that you relax, remain still and
refrain from talking during measurements.
NOTE: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
symbol frequently.
