Cvs blood pressure monitor irregular heartbeat symbol

The CVS Health Premium BP3MV1-3WCVS Item# 800230 is part of the Blood Pressure Monitors test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Blood Pressure Monitors models like the Premium BP3MV1-3WCVS Item# 800230 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Accuracy Accuracy is based on how the model's readings compared with those taken on a mercury sphygmomanometer used by two trained testers.

Convenience Convenience is based on pluses and minuses of the model's features (such as irregular heartbeat detection, a blood-pressure risk category indicator, and multiple user memories).

Comfort Comfort is based on opinion scores given by test subjects.

Note: A single measurement does not provide an accurate indica-

tion of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several

readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure

at the same time each day for consistency.

WARNING:

• The 'irregular heartbeat' function does not replace a cardiac

examination, but may help to detect potential heart rate ir-

regularities at an early stage. Always consult your physician to

determine what will be suitable for you.

• The 'irregular heartbeat' function is not designed for diagnos-

ing or treating an arrhythmic disorder. Arrhythmia can only be

ascertained by a licensed physician.

This symbol

indicates that certain heart rate irregularities were

detected during the measurement.

In general, an irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that

is more than 25% slower or 25% faster from the average rhythm

detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic

blood pressure.

In order to filter the unstable status of user and avoid affecting the

detection of heart rate from any movement, shaking or talking in the

beginning of measurement, the method of averaging heart beat inter-

vals of subject device is calculated with the three proper heart beat

pulses detected in the beginning of measurement and that is different

from a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals.

At least 3 beats with at least 25% difference from the average heart

beat interval will generate the IHB icon on the screen.

NOTE:

• Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular heart rate during the meas-

urement can result in the appearance of this symbol.

• Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed after the

measurement. Please note that you should rest at least 5 minutes

between measurements and not talk or move during the meas-

urement. If the icon continues to be displayed in subsequent

readings, we recommend you to consult your physician in order

to determine if it is cause for concern. Do not try to interpret read-

ings or attempt to treat any condition yourself. Always follow the

guidance of a health professional. If you have an emergency call

911 immediately.

6.2 Risk Category Indicator

WARNING:

• The Risk Category Indicator chart is not intended to replace a

medical diagnosis. This chart is only a reference for different

classifications of blood pressure.

This device is equipped with a Risk Category Indicator which clas-

sifies your blood pressure measurements into four stages (Normal,

Pre-hypertension, Stage 1 Hypertension to Stage 2 Hypertension)

based on the blood pressure standards established by the U.S. De-

partment of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes

of Health. Besides, for your and your loved ones' health, we further

classify the four stages into numeral ranges, which sorts out hyper-

tension symptoms more clearly. Moreover, for your convenience

and readability, we use four corresponding colors to represent your

measuring result. Refer to below comparison chart for details:

What is the symbol for irregular heartbeat?

Why IHB? IHB stands for "Irregular Heartbeat". This symbol lights up when an irregular heartbeat is detected during BP measurement by the UA-787 or UA-767Plus.

What does irregular heartbeat mean on a blood pressure monitor?

An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. It means your heart is out of its usual rhythm. It may feel like your heart skipped a beat, added a beat, or is "fluttering." It might feel like it's beating too fast (which doctors call tachycardia) or too slow (called bradycardia).

What does the shake icon mean on a blood pressure monitor?

Irregular Heartbeat Detector The heartbeat rhythm that is more than or less than 25% from the average rhythm is usually defined as an irregular heartbeat rhythm. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this symbol.

Can a home blood pressure monitor detect irregular heartbeat?

Conclusion. These data suggest that an automated device for home blood pressure has an excellent diagnostic accuracy for detecting an AF and could be used as a reliable screening test for early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.
