Problem
Before requesting repair check the following
No text on display
Is the SkinFibroMeter turned ON?
Display remains black after
pressing the operation
button
Battery voltage too low. Change the batteries.
Induration readings do not
seem reasonable
Make sure the message READY is displayed
before the skin contact.
Make sure the measuring surface is fully and
evenly in contact with the skin.
Make sure your hand is supported during the
measurement and the base plate touches the skin
perpendicularly.
Make sure the tested person is relaxed and
there’s no muscle tension under the measured
area.
Make sure the skin is not wet.
It is difficult to perform a
successful measurement
Practice measuring to find the correct contact
force and speed when the probe is touching the
skin. This is guided on the display, if the
measurement has not been successful (see
section
Operating instructions in this manual).
