      Grace ReevesJul 28, 2025
      If your ADC Blood Pressure Monitor frequently fails to measure or the values measured are too low or too high, ensure the cuff is correctly fitted on your arm. Before starting the measurement, make sure that clothing is not exerting pressure on the arm. Remove any tight clothing if necessary. Measure your blood pressure again in complete peace and quiet.

    What does ERR 1 mean on ADC Advantage 6012N?

      Katherine ThomasAug 12, 2025
      If your ADC Blood Pressure Monitor displays 'ERR 1', it could be due to a few reasons: The systolic pressure was determined, but then the pressure in the cuff went down to less than 20 mmHg, or the tube may have loosened after the systolic pressure was determined. Another possible reason is that the pulse could not be detected.
