8- The module is not able to measure the patient's pressure and the question mark (?) appears:
Choosing measurement mode: Is the measurement mode correctly selected? If you have used the
neonate mode for pediatric or adult, there's a chance that you will not be able to measure it.
Cuff Size: If inappropriate cuff size is used (for example a cuff larger than correct size), the
patient's pulses will be weakened and the module may not be able to measure.
Patient movement: During the pressure measurement, the patient should avoid moving, talking and
laughing. Any motion can affect the measurement accuracy and, in some cases, lead to the
measurement failure.
Patient conditions: Some diseases, such as arrhythmias, may cause inconsistency between the
patient's pulses and in some situations may lead to the measurement failure.
