• Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats

the result is valid, the result is shown together
with the irregular heartbeat icon. If the irregular heartbeats

taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the
irregular heartbeat icon is shown frequently, please make
your doctor aware of it.
