2.4. PAD - Pulse Arrhythmia Detection
Appearance of the Arrhythmia indicator
The appearance of this symbol signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during the
measurement. The result can vary from your normal blood pressure. As a rule this is not a cause for
concern; however, if the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements
performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, we recommend you inform your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Arrhythmia indicator
The Microlife BP 3BT0-AP is an oscillometric blood pressure measuring device that also analyses
the pulse frequency during measurement. The accuracy of this device has been clinically validated.
If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the mea-
surement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements
performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an
early stage.
