Discontinuing A Measurement; Error Messages/Malfunctions - Procheck UAA0XB-A Mode D'emploi

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 then immediately lowers the cuff-pressure automatically.

Further information
Measurements should not occur soon after each other, since otherwise, the results will be falsified. Wait
therefore for at least 1 minute in a relaxed position, sitting or lying, before you repeat a measurement.

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)
ERR 1 The systolic pressure was determined but afterwards 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 3 Inflation of the cuff takes too long. The cuff is not correctly seated or the hose connection is
not sealed.
ERR 5 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.
HI The pressure in the cuff is too high (over 300 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 eliminations
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked and if necessary,
the corresponding measures are to be taken:
