5.5. Inflating further

If the cuff is not inflated sufficiently, the measurement is broken off after a
few seconds and a flashing arrow pointing upwards appears in the display. It is
then necessary to inflate further to at least 20 mmHg higher than the previous
value. The instruction to inflate further can appear several times if the pressure
is still not sufficient.
Attention:
If the cuff is inflated too far (over 300 mmHg), «HI» appears in the display and a
warning signal is sounded. The cuff pressure must then be immediately released
by pressing the 0/I button. As soon as the cuff is inflated sufficiently and the
measurement is proceeding, continue as described under points c-d.

5.6. Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g.
the patient feels unwell), the O/I button can be pressed at any time. The device
immediately lowers the cuff-pressure
automatically.
5.7. Memory – displaying the last measurement
The measured results are stored in the instrument until a
new measurement is carried out or the batteries are removed. You can
call up the stored values at any time by pressing the O/I button for at least 3
seconds.

6. Error messages/malfunctions

If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement is discontinued
and a corresponding error code is displayed.
(Example Error no. 1)
Error No. Possible cause(s)
The systolic pressure was determined but afterwards the cuff pressure fell below 20 mmHg.
ERR 1
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.
ERR2 Unnatural pressure impulses influence the measurement result. Reason: The arm was moved-
during the measurement (Artefact).
ERR5 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 300 mmHg) OR the pulse is too high (over 200
beatsper minute). Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the measurement.*
LO The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute). Repeat the measurement.*
