functioning normally.
The unit has stopped an NIBP measurement,
because the operator has pressed the NIBP button
and cancelled the measurement.
The patient's pulse is too weak to for NIBP
measurement, or the cuff requires adjustment.

measurement.
The unit has detected a neonate cuff when in Adult

A major air leak is preventing cuff inflation. Check
hose and cuff connections, replace a defective hose
or cuff, as necessary, and reattempt NIBP

of the unit. Check hose for kinks. Eliminate kinks or
replace hose, if necessary.

recommended annual NIBP calibration check.
