6. Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:

This unit can identify potential disruption 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 heartbeat. 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. Ar-

rhythmia can only be determined through an examination by

your doctor. If the symbol

is shown on the display after

the measurement has been taken, it should be repeated.

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-

diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can be

dangerous. Always follow your GP’s instructions.
