Troubleshooting
Problem
My blood
pressure
fluctuates
throughout
the day.
My blood
pressure
measure­
ment from
the hospital
is different
from the
measure­
ment at
home.
The result is
different
when I
perform
measure­
ments on
my right
arm.
The blood
pressure
monitor
does not
work when
I press the
'on' button
The light of

Possible cause
Your
measurement
position, the
conditions
under which
you measure or
the time of
measurement,
are different
during each
measurement.
Fluctuations of
blood pressure
during the day
are normal.
You are using
medication.
You performed
multiple
measurements
directly after
each other.
Multiple
variables may
affect your
blood pressure
such as the
weather,
emotions and
exercise.
The blood
pressure
monitor is
suitable to be
used on both
arms, but the
measurement
results on the
right arm and
left arm will
differ.
The
rechargeable
battery is
empty.
The battery is
low.
Solution
For a meaningful
comparison, try to
measure under
similar conditions.
For example, take
measurements
daily at
approximately the
same time, on the
same arm, or as
directed by a
physician.
Blood pressure
fluctuates from
minute to minute
and normally
shows a circadian
rhythm over a
24-hour period,
with highest
readings in the
afternoons and
lowest readings at
night. That is why,
for comparable
measurements,
the
measurements
should be taken
at approx. the
same time of day.
The variations in
blood pressure
can be greater if
you are using
medication.
Wait at least 3
minutes between
measurements.
This allows your
blood circulation
to recover.
Pay attention
when you
measure your
blood pressure at
home. Check for
instance:
If the cuff is
attached properly.
If the cuff is too
tight or too loose.
If the cuff is
attached on the
upper arm.
If you feel anxious
or stressed, try to
relax. Take a deep
breath 2-3 times
before you start a
measurement.
Advice: Rest for 5
minutes before
you measure your
blood pressure.
For a meaningful
comparison, try to
measure under
similar conditions
and measure on
the same arm
every time.

battery (see
'Charging').
