Do you have a question about the A40 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
We have an IBP A40 wrist bp monitor, which regularly displays EE (although the wrist has not moved). I can remove and replace the monitor on my wrist and it works fine. I try another reading and it displays EE again - even though my wrist has not moved. It is very time consuming and frustrating, as it will continuously show an error, and can upto 20 minutes to take 3 reading. Can you help please? Thank you
