Other possible errors and their solutions
If problems occur when using this device, the following points should be checked.
Malfunction
The display remains blank when the
device is switched on though the
batteries are in place.
The pressure does not rise although
the inflation bulb is being pumped.
The device frequently fails to
measure, or the values measured are
too low or high.
Every measurement results in
different values, although the device
functions normally and normal values
are displayed.
Blood pressure values differ from those
measured at the doctor’s.
Remedy
1. Check battery installation/ polarity.
2. Remove the batteries and if the display is unusual, then
exchange them for new ones.
Check the connection of the cuff tube and connect properly.
1. Fit the cuff correctly on the arm.
2. Before starting measurement make sure that clothing is not exerting
pressure on the arm. Take articles of clothing off if necessary. Measure blood
pressure again in complete peace and quiet.
Refer to Section 3. About Blood Pressure.
Refer to Section 3.7. Why Measure Blood Pressure at
Home?
NOTE: Blood pressure is subject to fluctuations even in healthy people. Please remember
that comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same time and
the same conditions! These are normally quiet conditions. If you follow the procedure
described earlier and still get fluctuations of blood pressure of greater than 15 mmHg and/or
you repeatedly hear irregular pulse tones, consult your doctor.
Attention!
Should any technical malfunctions arise with the blood pressure monitor, please contact the
dealer where you bought the device or ADC. Never attempt to repair the instrument
yourself! Any unauthorized opening of the instrument invalidates all warranty claims.
