Sep 13, 2022 at 15:40 comment added Will Jagy In that case, I suggest Burton W. Jones, The Arithmetic Theory of Quadratic Forms, especially chapter 8. Rationally represented is Hasse-Minkowski. Then, Jones was the first to show that every integer rationally represented by a form is integrally represented by something in its genus. .... It is also Theorem 1.3, page 129, chapter 9, of Rational Quadratic Forms by Cassels.
Sep 13, 2022 at 15:20 comment added MathqA Thank you! By searching in your page I have found other references where this result is used, e.g. the coment after the theorem [1] of this Duke article of 1997 (zakuski.math.utsa.edu/~kap/Duke_1997.pdf). But again I am not able to prove why this is true (why we only need the congruence with a single value depending on the determinant?) or a reference where stated explicitly.
