American Diagnostic Corporation (ADC) Advantage Ultra - Manual (Page 16)

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.
11. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Do not expose the device to either extreme temperatures, humidity, dust or
direct sunlight.
Handle the cuff carefully and avoid all types of stress through twisting or
buckling in order not to damage the sensitive air-tight bubble.
Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use gas, thinners or similar
solvents. Spots on the cuff can be removed carefully with a damp cloth and
soapsuds. Do not submerge the cuff in water!
Handle the tubing carefully.
Keep the tube away from sharp edges.
Do not drop the monitor or treat it roughly in any way.
Never open the monitor!
This invalidates the manufacturer’s warranty.
Note: According to international standards, your monitor should be checked for calibration every
2 years. Contact ADC for an accuracy check.
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.
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.
