The pressure does not rise although
the bulb is pumping.
The deflation rate can not be set to
2 - 3 mmHg/sec. by adjusting the air
release valve.
Pointer is not at 0 +/- 3 mmHg at rest.
☞ FURTHER INFORMATION
The level of blood-pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people. Important thereby
is, that comparable measurements always require the same conditions (rest condition)!
If, in spite of observing all these factors, the fluctuations are more than 15 mmHg, and/or you
hear irregular pulses on several occasions, please consult your doctor.
You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist if there are technical problems with the blood-
pressure instrument. Never attempt to repair the instrument yourself!
Any unauthorised opening of the instrument invalidates all guarantee claims!

1. Make sure that the valve is closed.
2. Make sure the cuff is properly connected to bulb
and manometer
3. Check if the cuff, tube and 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.
1. Make sure that the valve is open for zero check.
2. If still more than 3 mmHg deviation, contact your
dealer to recalibrate the manometer.
