6. Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:

This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia

disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates the

measurement 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.

Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed

after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for

5 minutes between measurements and not talk or move dur-
