The measured readings indicated an unacceptable difference between
systolic and diastolic pressures.
Take another reading following directions carefully.
Contact you doctor if you continue to get unusual readings

If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked
and if necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken:

The results of several
consecutive measure-
ments vary signifi-
cantly
Please read and understand «The most common causes of er-
rors» section. Repeat the measurement again, making sure all
the rules for its execution are followed.
Note: The blood pressure is a dynamic value and uctuates
continually, therefore, a minor dierence in values is accept-
able between consecutive measurements
Blood pressure mea-
sured differs from
those values mea-
sured by the doctor
Keep a self-monitoring diary and show it to your doctor at the
next visit.
Note: A patient may experience «white coat syndrome» at
the doctor’s appointment, so the pressure readings are high-
er than in a familiar home environment
