Other possible errors and their solutions
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked:
Malfunction
The display remains blank when the instrument 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 the
blood pressure values, or the values measured
are too low or too high.
Every measurement results in different values,
although the device functions normally and
normal values displayed.
The 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).
Remedy
• Check battery installation.
• If the display is unusual, remove the batteries
and then exchange them for new ones
• Check polarity
• Check the connection of the cuff tube and
connect properly.
1. Fit the cuff correctly on the arm. (see 5.3)
2. Before starting the measurement make sure that
the cuff is not too tight and that clothing is not
exerting pressure on the arm. Take off articles
of clothing if necessary.
3. Measure blood pressure again in complete
peace and quiet.
• Please read the following information and
the points listed under "Common sources
of error".(5.2) Repeat the measurement.
• Blood Pressure changes constantly. The observed
readings may accurately reflect your pressure.
• Record daily values and consult your doctor.
• Pressure readings in your doctor's office may be
higher due to anxiety.
• Your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the
day so record the time along with your reading.
• Check cuff connections.
Ensure the unit has not been tampered with.
