Symptom The systolic pressure value or diastolic pressure value is high. The systolic pressure value or diastolic pressure value is low. The measured values differ significantly. Possible cause • The hand with the cuff was held too low and not at heart level. (See page 12) • The cuff was not attached properly. (See page 12.) • You moved your hand or body or you spoke during measurement. (See page 12.) • The hand with the cuff was held too high and not at heart level. (See page 12.) • You moved your hand or body or you spoke during measurement. (See page 12.) • Your posture was not the same for all measurements, or measurements were taken without sufficient time in between. Always wait approximately 5 minutes before taking another reading, and above all, relax. The measured value differs from that measured by the doctor. The measured value is different for each measurement. Varying sounds and pressurization speeds occur during inflation of the cuff. The measured value obtained is different from that measured at the upper arm. • Blood pressure varies in response to minute changes in your mental state, such as your reaction to your doctor taking the measurement. One way to check this is to bring the unit to your doctor's office and directly compare the readings taken by your physician. • Relax for at least 5 minutes and then take another measurement. • Changes in operating sounds and pressurization speeds are normal and occur due to the fact that measurements are being made as the cuff is being inflated. • For persons with certain circulation problems, there may be substantial differences in blood pressure values measured at the upper arm versus at the wrist. 25 If the unit still appears to provide unusual or erroneous readings, consult your physician.
