Low-signal error indication
If the measured fluorescence signal from the arm is too low, the AGE Reader mu is
unable to perform a reliable measurement. It will then abort the measurement and
raise a low-signal error (figure 15).
Figure 15. Low-signal error indication
In general a low-signal error results from a patient’s arm skin that has too much
dark pigment. This in turn might be caused e.g. by birth marks, freckles or tinted
skin.
See section 6.3.1 Prepare for measurement for instructions on how to position the
patient’s arm before retrying the measurement. Press the Confirm button to return
to the Main screen from where a new measurement can be started. If the problem
persists conclude that the patient’s arm has too much pigment, a measurement with
the AGE Reader mu is not possible.
