Used contact force and measurement speed levels are shown on
the display. Recommended force and speed levels are indicated
with a green bar on the display. High speed warning may also
occur if the indenter is not placed perpendicularly on the skin.
Proceed by pressing the operate button and re-measure, or wait
until the message READY is displayed
3. Five short, successful measurements on the same site need to be done
to get the induration reading. The shown reading is the mean of 5
consecutive measurements. Readings under the recent value are means
of previous measurements.
The induration reading is the force as a unit N (Newton). The measured force
increases with increasing induration.
If the measured force exceeds 1.25 N, message OUT OF RANGE is displayed.
The measured tissue is too hard to be measured with the SkinFibroMeter.
If the probe is left on the skin for too long during the measurement, the
message OFF SKIN is displayed. Remove the probe from the skin and press the
operating button to re-measure.
Avoid touching the indenter or the base plate with your hand or fingers. They
should touch the skin only during the measurement.
