Avoiding erroneous measurements
The patient must keep still during the measurement.
The cuff tube must not be kinked.
A repeat measurement is automatically performed two minutes after an erroneous
measurement. If several measurements are erroneous (especially E6, E21-24 and
E25-28), it should be checked if the cuff is still positioned correctly. The marker
should be located on the brachial artery and the cuff should be positioned on the
arm so that approximately two fingers fit between the cuff and the arm. For further
causes of erroneous measurements, see Chapter
2.4.3 Error codes and their causes
.
Discomfort during the recording
If the patient experiences discomfort during a recording, e.g. caused by a too high
cuff pressure, the patient must contact his/her physician. The patient can stop the
measurements at any time by pressing the function key or by opening the cuff’s
hook and loop fastener. Pregnant women should consider their individual physical
endurance and contact their physician, if necessary.
