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 and cuff tension. The cuff
should be snug but not tight.
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.
d) Handle the tube carefully. Do not pull on it. Do not allow the tubing to kink and
keep it away from sharp edges.
e) Do not drop the monitor or treat it roughly in any way. Avoid strong vibrations.
