Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disor-
ders during measurement and if necessary indicates the meas-
urement with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-
tion 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 exces-
sively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things,
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.

Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accord-
ance with the following table.
The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded. If
the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two differ-
ent ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and diastolic
pressure in the normal range) the graphic classification on the
unit indicates the higher range (high-normal in the example
described).
