The Measure-
ment Value and
flash alternately
Cause
• Insufficient light for
measurement..
• Strong light enters the
finger holder's sensor
directory.
• Pulse signal required
for measurement is
not being received.
• The pulse is weak and
the pulse
required for the meas-
urement are not ob-
tained. The measure-
ment value is dis-
played, however, the
accuracy of the meas-
urement values can
not be guaranteed.
Thus, the measured
value must be consid-
ered as guidance
only.
• Check that the finger holder is properly
attached to the patient.
• Clean the light-source and sensor
sections.
• Take measures to prevent direct entry
of strong light to the finger holder.
• Check that the finger holder is properly
attached to the patient. If the finger
holder is properly attached but this
message still appears, the circulation in
the area being measured may not be
good. If this occurs, warm up the
measurement location.
• Attach the finger holder to the body
signals correctly. If this message is displayed
when the unit is attached to the patient
correctly, the measurement conditions
are regarded as blood circulation or
other circulatory problems. If this
occurs, warm up the measurement
locations.
• In particular, when the pulse is weak,
this error tends to occur. For improved
measurement accuracy, if the finger
holder is exposed to strong light, wrap it
with a piece of black cloth, etc. Also
make sure that the patient rests calmly
to avoid influence of body movement.
