weak. Re-position the cuff (see 2.1)
and repeat the measurement.*

measurement, keeping your arm
still.

generated in the cuff. A leak may
have occurred. Check that the cuff
is correctly connected and is not too
loose. Repeat the measurement.
The measuring signals are invalid
and therefore no result can be
displayed.
Read through the checklist for
performing reliable measurements
and then repeat the measurement.*

high (over 299 mmHg) OR the
pulse is too high (over 200 beats
