5.7 Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for early
Detection
This symbol
ted during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate
from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement.
In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol
appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measure-
ments taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
6. Error messages/malfunctions
If an error occurs during a measurement, the measure-
ment is discontinued and a corresponding error code is
displayed.
(Example Error no. 1)
Error No.
Possible cause(s)
ERR 1
The systolic pressure was determined but afterwards
the cuff pressure fell below 20 mmHg.
This situation can occur, for example, if the tube beco-
mes unplugged after the systolic blood pressure has
been measured. Further possible cause: No pulse has
been detected.
ERR 2
Unnatural pressure impulses influence the measure-
ment result. Reason: The arm was moved during the
measurement (Artefact).
ERR 3
Inflation of the cuff takes too long. The cuff is not cor-
rectly seated or the hose connection is not sealed.
ERR 5
The measured readings indicated an unacceptable dif-
ference between systolic and diastolic pressures. Take
another reading following directions carefully. Contact
you doctor if you continue to get unusual readings.
HI
The pressure in the cuff is too high (over 300 mmHg)
OR the pulse is too high (over 200 beats per minute).
Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the measurement.*
LO
The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute).
Repeat the measurement.*
* Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs
repeatedly.
