180 Troubleshooting

BPM: Oscil Wave Check

The diastolic blood pressure reading
is close to or greater than the systolic
pressure reading.
BPM: Pulse > 100 Patient's heart rate is above 100
beats per minute.

BPM: Pulse Amp Unif

The amplitude of the pressure pulses
is inconsistent with an accurate blood
pressure profile.
BPM: Pulse High The latest pulse reading is above the
Upper Pulse alarm limit.
BPM: Pulse Low The latest pulse reading is below the
Lower Pulse alarm limit.
BPM: Pump On > 30 sec The pump that inflates the cuff has
been running longer than 30 seconds.
BPM: Systolic High The systolic blood pressure reading is
above the set Upper Systolic alarm
limit.
BPM: Systolic Low The systolic blood pressure reading is
below the set Lower Systolic alarm
limit.

BPM: Weak Pulse

The pulse pressure is too weak to
register an accurate measurement.

BPM: Zero Pressure

No pressure is detected by the blood
pressure module.
