The error messages on the BIOS Diagnostics BD270 indicate different issues and suggest corresponding actions:
- EE / Measurement Error: Ensure the cuff is wrapped correctly, keep the arm steady, and check if the L-plug is securely connected to the air socket. - E1 / Air Circuit Abnormality: Ensure the L-plug is securely connected and try measuring again calmly. - E2 / Pressure Exceeding 300 mmHg: Turn off the unit and retry the measurement quietly. - E3 / Data Error: Remove the batteries, wait 60 seconds, then reload and try again. - Er / Exceeding Measurement Range: Try measuring again quietly.
If errors persist, contact the BIOS Medical Hotline.

2.4 PulseScan (Pulse Arrhythmia) Technology PulseScan (ARR) technology specifically detects the existence of pulse arrhythmia, including Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions (PC), Tachycardia (TACH), and Bradycardia (BRAD). Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and thus early diagnosis is of paramount importance.
2.6 Premature Contraction Detection (PC) Extra abnormal heartbeats generated in irregular excitation sites of your heart, either in the atria (PAC), the ventricle (PVC) or the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra beats may disrupt the regular rhythm, they may come in early or cause a significant pause regarding your perceivable pulse.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the BRAD icon occurs several times, or, if your BRAD is known to your doctor, but the incidence of BRAD readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
