BpTRU Operator’s Manual

Pressing the Review button shows error codes in the
appropriate display (Systolic, Diastolic, or Pulse) for
each reading where an error was detected. The averages
for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and
pulse rate exclude all results for any of the readings
where an error was detected.
Indeterminate systolic
blood pressure (likely
due to inadequate
inflation threshold).
Check patient for pulse. Tighten cuff
on arm and check BpTRU for normal
inflation pressures.
Indeterminate diastolic
pressure (premature
deflation, excessive
motion artifacts, or
diastolic below 40
mmHg).
Check patient for pulse. Tighten cuff
on arm, check for leaks in tubing or
cuff, and ensure that patient is sitting
quietly with arm comfortably
elevated to level of heart to reduce
motion artifacts during
measurement.
Indeterminate pulse
rate.
Check patient for pulse. Tighten cuff
on arm, check for leaks in tubing or
cuff, and ensure that patient is sitting
quietly with arm comfortably
elevated to the level of heart to
reduce motion artifacts during
measurement.
Systolic blood pressure
under-range (<60
mmHg).
Check patient manually for blood
pressure and pulse.
Diastolic blood
pressure under-range
(<40 mmHg).
Check patient manually for blood
pressure and pulse.
Systolic blood pressure
over-range (>250
mmHg).
Check patient using auscultation for
blood pressure and pulse.
Diastolic blood
pressure over-range
(>160 mmHg).
Check patient using auscultation for
blood pressure and pulse.
