11.2 Blood pressure measurement
the error message appears in the temperature field.
error messages
Inflation time too long.
causes:
no cuff is connected. the cuff is too loose on the arm. the cuff is not
tight.
solution:
Place the cuff again and start a new measurement.
Incorrect cuff.
causes:
adult cuff in neonate mode. neonate cuff in adult mode.
solution:
use the correct cuff.
arrhythmia
causes:
the device determined implausible readings during the last measurement.
solution:
take another measurement.
artefact
causes:
the device has detected too many motion artefacts.
solution:
take another measurement.
excessive pressure in the cuff or measurement time too long.
causes:
Pressure was applied on the cuff during the measurement.
solution:
Do not touch the cuff and tube during the measurement.
Leak in the cuff or in the connector cable
causes:
the device recorded an unexpected decrease in pressure during the
measurement.
solution:
use a different cuff and check the cable to the device.
