Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruptions of the heart
rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this
after the measurement with the symbol .
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an
illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of
flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heart-
beat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats,
pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such
as heart disease, age, physical make-up, excess stimulants,
stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be determined
through an examination by your doctor.
If the symbol is shown on the display after the meas-
urement has been taken, repeat the measurement. Please
ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not
speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol
appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagno-
sis and treatment based on the measurements can be dan-
gerous. Always follow your GP’s instructions.
WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World
Heath Organization and the latest findings, the measure-
ments can be classified and assessed according to the fol-
lowing table.
