Symptom
Possible cause
The systolic pressure
value or diastolic
pressure value is high.
e The hand with the cuff was held too low and
not at heart level. (See pages 14-16.)
The cuff was not attached properly. (See
page 12.)
You moved your hand or body or you spoke
during measurement. (See pages 14-16.)
The systolic pressure
value or diastolic
pressure value is low.
The hand with the cuff was held too high and
not at heart level. (See pages 14-16.)
You moved your hand or body or you spoke
during measurement. (See pages 14-16.)
The measured values
differ significantly.
Your posture was not the same for all
measurements, or measurements were
taken without sufficient time in between.
Always wait approximately 5 minutes before
taking another reading, and above all, relax.
The measured value
differs from that
measured by the doctor.
The measured value is
different for each
measurement.
Blood pressure varies in response to
minute changes in your mental state, such
as your reaction to your doctor taking the
measurement. One way to check this is to
bring the unit to your doctor's office and
directly compare the readings taken by
your physician.
Relax for at least 5 minutes and then take
another measurement.
Varying sounds and
pressurization speeds
occur during inflation of
the cuff.
Changes in operating sounds and
pressurization speeds are normal and occur
due to the fact that measurements are
being made as the cuff is being inflated.
The CZW
mark
flashes when readings
are being taken.
e There was a significant fluctuation in pulse
when readings were being taken.
