the dial plate carefully during deflation, the point
at which repetitive, clear tapping sounds
first appear for at least two consecutive beats
gives the systolic blood pressure. The point
where the repetitive sounds finally disappear
gives the diastolic blood pressure.
7. After you get the diastolic pressure, push
or adjust the deflation valve to the bottom for rapid
deflation. Remove the cuff from arm and stethoscope from ears.
8. Record your readings and the time of the day measurement is made
immediately after you finish measuring. Repeat the measurement two
or more times. A convenient time is the first thing in the morning,
or just before evening meals. Remember that your physician
is the only person qualified to analyze your blood pressure.

Solution
1. Check the earpieces if they are plugged or cracked.
If not, make sure they do not fit poorly as worn.
2. Check the tube whether it is broken or twisted.
3. Check the bell and diaphragm of chestpiece whether
there is any crack.
1. Make sure that the valve is closed.
2. Make sure the cuff is properly connected to bulb
and manometer.
3. Check whether the cuff, tube or bulb is leaky.
Replace the defective parts if any.
Disassemble the valve from bulb to check if there is any
blockage in the airway of the valve. Clean the blockage
and try again. If it still does not work, replace it to avoid
inaccurate reading.
