BIOS Diagnostics 3AL1-3E - Specific Malfunction Remedies; Care and Maintenance; General Care Precautions; Cuff Handling and Cleaning

Hi
Cuff pressure is over 300 mmHg.
Ensure that the cuff is worn correctly and
measure again. Avoid movement or talking
when the cuff is being inflated.
Lo
Pulse below 40 is detected. Ensure that the cuff is worn correctly.
If problems occur when using the device the following points should be checked, and if necessary, the corresponding
measures should be taken.
Malfunction Remedy
The display remains empty when the device is switched
on. The batteries are inserted.
1. Check batteries for correct polarity.
2. If the display is unusual, re-insert the batteries or
exchange them for new ones.
The pressure does not rise even though the pump is
running.
Check the connection of the cuff tube and connect
properly if necessary.
The device frequently fails to measure the blood
pressure values, or the values measured are too low or
too high.
1. Check the positioning of the cuff.
2. Measure the blood pressure again, ensuring that you
have remained motionless for a sufficient amount of
time to ensure an accurate reading.
Every measurement produces varying results although
the instrument functions normally and the values
displayed are normal.
Note that blood pressure fluctuates continuously;
therefore measurements will show some variability.
Blood pressure values measured differ from those
measured by the doctor.
Record the daily development of the values and consult
your doctor.
Note: Individuals visiting their doctor frequently
experience anxiety which can result in a higher
blood pressure reading than at home.

5. Care and Maintenance
a) Do not expose the device to either extreme temperatures, humidity, dust or direct
sunlight.
b) The cuff contains a sensitive air-tight bubble. Handle this carefully and avoid all
types of stress through twisting or buckling.
c) 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. The cuff with bladder must not be washed in a dishwasher, clothes
washer, or submerged in water.
