6. Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia dis-
orders during measurement and if necessary indicates the
measurement with the flashing icon .
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a
condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result
of defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart
beat. The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats,
slow or excessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among
other things, by heart disease, age, physical predisposition,
excessive use of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhyth-
mia can only be ascertained through examination by your
doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is dis-
played after the measurement. 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.
WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World
Health Organization and the latest findings, the measure-

lowing table.
