Further Information - The level of blood-pressure is subject to uctuations
even with healthy people. Important thereby is, that comparable measurements
always require the same conditions (Quiet conditions)! If, in spite of observing
all these factors, the uctuations are larger than 15mmHg, and/or you hear
irregular pulse tones on several occasions, please consult your doctor. For li-
censing, the device has been subjected to strict clinical tests, by which the
computer program used to measure the blood-pressure values was tested by
experienced specialist doctors in Germany.
The same computer program is used in every individual device, and has thus
also been clinically tested. The manufacture of the devices takes place ac-
cording to the terms of the European standard for blood-pressure measuring
devices (see technical data) You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist
if there are technical problems with the blood-pressure instrument. Never at-
tempt to repair the instrument yourself! Any unauthorised opening of the instru-
ment invalidates all guarantee claims!
Other possible malfunctions and their elimination
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be
checked and if necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken:
Malfunction Remedy
The display remains empty when the in-
strument is switched on although the bat-
teries are in place.
1. Check batteries for correct polari-
ty and if necessary insert correctly.
2. If the display is unusual, re-insert
batteries or exchange them.
The device frequently fails to measure the
blood pressure values, or the values mea-
sured are too low (too high).
1. Check the positioning of the cuff.
2. Measure the blood-pressure
again in peace and quiet under
observance of the details made
under point 5.
Every measurement produces a different
value although the instrument functions
normally and the values displayed are
normal
1. Please read the following
information and the points listed
under «Common sources of
error». Repeat the measurement.
Please note: Blood pressure
uctuates continually so suc-
cessive measurements will show
some variability.
