(systolic or diastolic) is outside the range indicated in the "Technical Specifications" paragraph. In this case, it is
recommended to consult the "Wrapping the cuff", "Proper reading method" and "Taking a reading" paragraphs to
check that the procedure has been properly carried out, and seek medical advice. The technical alarm limit values

standard IEC 60601-1-8. The technical alarm does not need to be reset, the signal that appears on the LCD display
will automatically disappear after approx. 8 seconds.
