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:
The instrument frequently fails
to measure the blood pressure
values, or the values measured
are too low (too high).
The blood pressure values measu-
red differ from those measured by
the doctor.
1) Fit the cuff correctly on the arm.
2) Before starting the measurement make sure that
the cuff is not fitted too tightly and that there is no
rolled-up sleeve exerting pressure on the arm above
the measuring position. Take off articles of clothing if
necessary.
3) Measure the blood pressure again in complete peace
and quiet.
1) Record the daily development of the values and con-
sult your doctor about them.
Malfunction Remedy
The display remains empty
when the instrument is switched
on although the batteries are in
place.
1) Check whether the batteries are installed with the
correct polarity and correct if necessary.
2) If the display is unusual, remove the batteries and then
them, or exchange them for new.
The pressure does not rise although
the pumping ball is pressed.
1) Check the connection of the cuff tube and connect
properly if necessary.
2) The cuff could be damaged, change it.
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.
Should the device not start working properly, address immediately to an autho-
rized technical service centre or to MEDEL CUSTOMER SERVICE.
