Event Codes

The monitor will display an event code whenever an event prevents the unit from successfully
completing a blood pressure measurement. The two numerical digits of the event code indicate the
reason the measurement was aborted. The table below lists event codes that are displayed on the
monitor, as well as event codes that appear on the Event Code Report.
Monitor Report Condition
EC00
EC10 Excess movement artifact. Frequent EC10 messages may indicate an air
leak.
EC20 A) A very large number of movement artifacts
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
EC30 A) Movement artifact at mean arterial pressure
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
EC40 A) Movement artifact at asystole
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
EC50 A) Movement artifact at diastole
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
EC60 A) Movement artifact
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
EC70 Systole was found to be above the highest cuff pressure. However, this
result appears to be an error caused by motion artifact. Therefore, the cuff
will not be inflated to a higher pressure on the next measurement attempt.
EC80 A) Movement artifact
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
EC90 A) Movement artifact
B) Heart rate arrhythmia
EC01
EC11 Did not pump above the mean arterial level
EC21 Did not pump above systolic pressure
EC91 Systole appears higher than the selected maximum cuff pressure limit
EC02
EC12 Did not reach initial cuff pressure. The cuff may have been improperly
applied or there may be an air leak.
EC22 Overpressure
EC32 Overpressure
EC42 No cuff attached
EC52 Kinked hose
EC62 Cuff applied too loosely
