If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement is discontinued and a corresponding error code is displayed
.
Other possible malfunctions and their elimination
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked and if necessary, the corresponding measures
are to be taken:
Further Information -
The level of blood-pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people. Important thereby is,
that comparable measurements always require the same conditions (Quiet conditions)! If, in spite of observing all these factors,
the fluctuations are larger than 15mmHg, and/or you hear irregular pulse tones on several occasions, please consult your doctor.
For licensing, the device has been subjected to strict clinical tests, by which the computer program used to measure the blood-
pressure values was tested by experienced specialist doctors in Germany. The same computer program is used in every individual
device, and has thus also been clinically tested. The manufacture of the devices takes place according to the terms of the European
standard for blood-pressure measuring devices (see technical data) You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist if there
are technical problems with the blood-pressure instrument. Never attempt to repair the instrument yourself! Any unauthorised
opening of the instrument invalidates all guarantee claims!

The display remains empty when
the instrument is switched on
although the batteries are in place.
The device frequently fails to
measure the blood pressure values,
or the values measured are too low
(too high).
Every measurement produces
a different value although the
instrument functions normally and
the values displayed are normal
Blood pressure measured differs
from those values measured by
the doctor.
Error No.
Possible cause(s)
Malfunction
Solution
No pulse has been detected.
Unnatural pressure impulses influence the measurement result. Reason: The arm was moved during the
Measurement (Artefact).
The inflation of the cuff takes too long. The cuff is not correctly seated.
The measured readings indicated an unacceptable difference between systolic and diastolic pressures. Take
another reading following directions carefully. Contact you doctor if you continue to get unusual readings.
1. Check batteries for correct polarity and if necessary insert correctly.
2. If the display is unusual, re-insert batteries or exchange them.
1. Check the positioning of the cuff.
2. Measure the blood-pressure again in peace and quiet under observance of the
details made under point 5.
1. Please read the following information and the points listed under «Common sources
of error». Repeat the measurement.
Please note:
Blood pressure fluctuates
continually so successive measurements will show some variability.
1. Record the daily development of the values and consult your doctor.
Please note:
Individuals visiting their doctor frequently experience anxiety which
can result in a higher reading at the doctor than obtained at home under resting
conditions.
