WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT

The UB-521 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The Irregular

Heartbeat symbol will appear in the display window in the event an Irregular Heartbeat has occurred during measurement. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement. It is important that you relax, remain still and refrain from talking during measurements.

NOTE: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this symbol frequently.
