Problem
– – –
While measuring
(during deflation
of the cuff),
you can hear a
clicking sound
with every
detected
heartbeat.
Readings from
repeated meas-
urements differ
considerably.
Reason
Inflation above
320 mmHg
The device works with
a special deflation
procedure (stepwise
deflation).
Blood pressure is a
fluctuating value. For
healthy adults, deviations
of 10 to 20 mmHg are
possible.
Cuff is not properly
fitted.
Readings were not
consistently taken at
heart level.
Talking, coughing,
laughing, moving etc.
when measuring will
influence the reading.
Solution
Repeat measurement.

Ensure that the monitor is fitted as
follows:
– on the palm side of your wrist
– approx. 2 cm away from the
palm line
For each measurement, hold the
monitor at heart level.
While measuring, relax, keep still,
do not move or speak.
