Irregular Heart Beat
7
This monitor can detect possible irregular heart beat (cardiac arrhythmia) disorders during measurement
and if detected indicates the detection with the flashing icon . Arrhythmia is a condition where the
heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects in the bioelectrical system that controls the beating of the
heart. The symptoms (premature or omitted heart beats, slow or excessively fast heart rate) may be
caused by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep.
Arrhythmia can only be ascertained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed. Please note that you should rest for 5 minutes
between measurements and not talk or move during the measurement. If the icon appears often, please
contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based on the test results may be dangerous. It is
vital to follow your doctor‘s instructions.

Premature Ventricular Complex (or complexes), Ventricular Premature Contractions (or complex or
complexes), Ventricular Premature Beats, or Extrasystoles. It is not designed to detect Atrial
