Monitor Event Codes
The 90217 ABP Monitor displays a two-digit event code whenever it is unable to successfully
complete a blood pressure measurement. This event code appears as the last digits on the
monitor display and is preceded by the letters EC (for example, in the displayed event code EC01,
01 is the event code).
The following list contains a brief description of event codes, which can appear:
EC03
EC04
EC05
EC10
EC11
EC13
EC15
EC16
EC18
EC20
EC25
EC28
EC30
EC32
EC38
EC39
EC40
EC42
EC45
Patient cancel.
Out of time for measurement. NO time to collect additional data but enough time to
evaluate data already collected. Evaluation did not produce a valid reading.
Individual result corrupted.
Hung 20 seconds at a bleed step.
Did not pump high enough. Failed to inflate cuff above systole.
Reset of Office Check mode.
Bad checksum in ROM.
Low battery detected before cuff measurement.
Too few entries in table to perform analysis.
Pulse pressure too small. Diastole is greater than historical diastole +20 and there
are large oscillometric entries at cuff pressures below diastole which indicate that
diastole might be lower.
Bad checksum in RAM containing code. Initialize monitor to download correct code.
Diastole greater than 200 mmHg.
Software could not track changes in oscillometric activity.
Software overpressure.
Pulse pressure equals 16 mmHg or less.
Oscillometric (input) queue overflow.
No non-discarded entries at lower cuff pressures but within 16 mmHg of systole.
No cuff attached.
Illegal bleed size. Not between 4 and 8 mm.
