Other possible errors and their solutions
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be
checked and, if necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken:
Malfunction Remedy
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 blood pressure values or
the values measured are too low or
high.
Every measurement results in a
different value, although the device
functions normally and normal
values are displayed.
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.)
1. Check batteries for the correct
polarity.
2. If the display is unusual, remove
the batteries and exchange them
for new ones.
Check the connection of the cuff
tube and connect properly.
1. Check the positioning of the cuff.
2. Measure blood pressure again in
peace and quiet, carefully follow-
ing the details in section 4.
Please read the following informa-
tion and points listed in section 4.2
"Common errors." Repeat the
measurement.
Please note: Blood pressure
fluctuates continually so succes-
sive measurements will show
some variability.
Record the daily development of the
measured values and consult your
doctor (see section 4.1)
Please note: Individuals visiting
their doctor frequently experi-
ence anxiety which can result
in a higher reading than at home
under resting conditions.
1. Check cuff connections.
2. Ensure the unit has not been
tampered with.
