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 all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats with
25% or greater difference from the average heartbeat
interval will generate the
icon on the screen.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
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.
