Other possible errors and their solutions
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked and, if
necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken:
Malfunction
Remedy
1. Check batteries for the correct polarity.
2. If the display is unusual, remove the
batteries and exchange them for new ones.
Check the connection of the cuff tube and
connect properly.
1.Check the positioning of the cuff.
2.Measure blood pressure again in peace
and quiet, carefully following the details
in Section 5.
The display remains blank when the instru-
ment is switched on although the batteries
are in place.
The pressure does not rise although the
pump is running.
The device frequently fails to measure blood
pressure values or the values measured are
too low or high.
Please read the following information and
points listed in Section 5.2
"Common
sources of error."
Repeat the measurement.
Please note: Blood pressure fluctuates
continually so successive measurements
will show some variability.
Record the daily development of the
measured values and consult your doctor.
Please note: Individuals visiting their
doctor frequently experience anxiety
which can result in a higher reading
than at home under resting conditions.
1. Check cuff connections.
2. Ensure the unit has not been tampered with.
Every measurement results in a different
value, although the device functions
normally and normal values are displayed.
Blood pressure values differ from those
measured by my doctor.
After the instrument has inflated the cuff
the pressure falls very slowly, or not at all.
(No reasonable measurement possible.)
