checked and if necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken:
Malfunction
The display remains blank when the
instrument is switched on.
The device frequently fails to measure blood
pressure values, or the values
measured are too low (too high).
Every measurement produces a different
value.
Blood pressure values measured at your doc-
tors office differ from your measurements.
Remedy
1. Check batteries for correct polarity.
2. If the display is unusual, re-insert batteries or
exchange them.
1. Check the positioning of the cuff.
2. Measure blood pressure again in peace
and quiet carefully following the details in
Section 5.
1.Please read the following information listed
in Section 5.2
"Common sources of error
."
Repeat the measurement.
Please note: Blood pressure fluctuates
continually so successive measurements
will show some variability.
1.Record the daily development of the
measured values and consult your doctor.
Please note: Individuals visiting their doctor
frequently experience anxiety which can
result in a higher reading than at home
under resting conditions
.
