Possible Cause(S) - Microlife BP 3AS1-2 Mode D'emploi

Error No.

Possible cause(s)

ERR 1
The systolic pressure was determined but after wards the cuff pressure fell below 20 mmHg.
This situation can occur, for example, if the tube becomes unplugged after the systolic blood
pressure has been measured. Further possible cause: No pulse has been detected.
ERR 2
Unnatural pressure impulses influence the measurement result. Reason: The arm was moved
during the measurement (Artefact).
ERR 5
The measured results have indicated an unacceptable difference between the systolic and
diastolic pressure. Take another measurement, carefully following the instructions. Contact
your doctor, if you still obtain unusual results.
HI
The pressure in the cuff is too high (over 299 mmHg) OR the pulse is too high (over 200 beats
per minute). Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the measurement.*
LO
The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute). Repeat the measurement.*
* Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs repeatedly.
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
The display remains empty when the instrument
is switched on although the batteries are in
place.
The pressure does not rise although the pump
is running.
The device frequently fails to measure the blood
pressure values, or the values measured are too
low (too high).
Every measurement results in different values
although the device functions normally and the
values are displayed.
The blood pressure values measured differ from
those measured by the doctor.
Further information
☞
The level of blood pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people. Important thereby is, that
comparable measurements always require the same conditions (rest conditions)!
You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist if there are technical problems with the blood pressure
device. Never attempt to repair the device yourself!
Any unauthorised opening of the device invalidates all guarantee claims!

Remedy
1. Check whether the batteries are installed with the
correct polarity and correct if necessary.
2. If the display is unusual, re-insert batteries or
exchange them.
• Check the connection of the cuff tube and connect
properly if necessary.
1. Fit the cuff correctly on the arm.
2. Before starting the measurement make sure that
the cuff is not fitted too tightly and that there is no
rolled-up sleeve exerting pressure on the arm above
the measuring position. Take off articles of clothing if
necessary.
3. Measure the blood pressure again in complete peace
and quiet.
• Please read the following information and the points
listed under «Common sources of error». Repeat the
measurement.
• Record the daily development of the values and
consult your doctor about them.
