Other possible malfunctions and possible solutions:
Malfunction
The display remains blank when the instrument
is switched on although the batteries are in place.
The pressure does not rise although you
are pumping the inflation ball.
The device frequently fails to measure the blood
pressure values, or the values measured are too
low (too high).
Every measurement results in different values,
although the device functions normally and normal
values are displayed.
The blood pressure values measured differ form
those measured by the doctor
Remedy
1. Check battery polarity
and correct if necessary.
2. If the display is unusual, remove
the batteries and insert
new batteries.
• Check the connection of the cuff
tube and connect properly if
necessary.
1. Fit the cuff correctly on the arm.
2. Before starting a measurement
make sure that the cuff is not fitted
too tightly. Ensure clothing is not
exerting pressure on the arm above
the measuring position. Take off
articles of clothing if necessary.
3. Measure blood pressure again in
complete peace and quiet.
• Blood pressure changes
continually. Your readings may be
accurate. Consult your doctor.
• Record the daily development of the
values and consult your doctor
about them.
• Anxiety during a doctor visit can
result in higher readings.
