Error

Possible Cause

No pulse has been detected or pulse signals

are too weak

Ensure that the cuff is being worn

correctly, and that you have your arm

at the heart level.

Unnatural pressure impulses influence the

measurement result. Reason: The arm was

moved during the measurement.

Avoid unnecessary movement or

talking.

The inflation of the cuff takes too long. The

cuff is not correctly seated.

Ensure that the cuff is being worn

correctly.

Check that the cuff is correctly

connected to the monitor.

and diastolic pressure is too far away from

acceptable and reasonable range.

Ensure that the cuff is being worn

correctly and that you have been

inactive for a sufficient time before

making the measurement.
