The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends medical
treatment, when the blood pressure value exceeds 140/90 mmHg.
Examples:
Cleaning and maintenance
♥ Do not expose the BP monitor to extreme temperature, moisture,
dust or direct sunlight.
♥ The cuff contains a sensitive airtight bulb. Treat it with care and
avoid any stress by torsion or kinking.
♥ Clean the BP monitor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use fuel, thinner
or other solvent. Remove specks on the cuff carefully with a wet cloth
and soap water.
Do not wash the cuff.
♥ Do not drop the BP monitor or treat it with force.
♥ Do not try to open the BP monitor. This will make the factory
calibration invalid

Troubleshooting and remedies
If a fault is detected during a measurement, the BM monitor displays
„Err“ and a symbol (code for service personnel).
From many years of experience we know that most faults are the
consequence of wrong use. The most frequent causes of faults are
excessive movement during the measurement, wrong application of
the cuff, use of wrong batteries or use of a rechargeable battery.
Message Error description Correction
The pressure measured was
lower than 20mmHg.
Please measure again.
The pressure measured was
higher than 300mmHg.
Please measure again.
Pumping error.
Please check cuff and try
again.
The pressure can not be
measured due to signal noise.
Please measure again.
The pumping pressure is higher
than 300mmHg.
Please measure again.

Low batteries.
Please check and replace
the batteries if necessary.
Wait at least 5 minutes before repeating the measurement.
Periodic re-calibration
We recommend periodic checks of the pressure indication every 2
years.
