    What to do if the FINAPRES Finometer Midi Medical Equipment shows 'CHECK AIR SUPPLY'?
    • D
      David MurrayAug 13, 2025
      If the FINAPRES Medical Equipment displays 'CHECK AIR SUPPLY', it indicates the pump system isn't generating enough pressure or flow. First, ensure the finger cuff air hose is correctly inserted into the Frontend Unit and that the air hose between the Frontend Unit and the main unit is properly connected. Check both hoses for any leaks or kinks. If the error continues, it is recommended to have the device inspected by Finapres Medical Systems B.V.

    What to do if FINAPRES Medical Equipment shows 'UNACCEPTABLE P/V'?

      If the FINAPRES Medical Equipment displays 'UNACCEPTABLE P/V', it signifies a pressure or plethysmogram error. This occurs if the pressure has been below 10 mmHg or above 250 mmHg for 2.5 seconds, or if the plethysmogram wasn't sufficiently small during the measurement. Try again. Ensure the finger cuff is wrapped tightly enough around the finger. Also, check for issues related to 'CHECK AIR SUPPLY' and 'CONNECT CUFF CABL' errors.

    Why does my FINAPRES Finometer Midi Medical Equipment show 'NO PLETHYSMOGRAM'?
    • K
      Kimberly JacobsonAug 20, 2025
      The 'NO PLETHYSMOGRAM' error on the FINAPRES Medical Equipment is usually caused by contracted arteries. To resolve this, retry the measurement. You might also try using another finger or warming the hand to improve circulation.

    What should I do if FINAPRES Medical Equipment displays 'PWR SUP NOT WELL'?
    • L
      Laura MurrayAug 25, 2025
      If the FINAPRES Medical Equipment shows 'PWR SUP NOT WELL', it means a short-circuit, zero offset, or power supply unbalance has occurred. Immediately turn off the device. Briefly retry powering it on without the finger cuff attached. This error can also appear if you disconnect the Frontend Unit during a measurement. In this case, reconnect the Frontend Unit and power the unit off and on again. If the problem persists, the device should be checked by Finapres Medical Systems B.V.

    What causes 'UNSTABLE PRES' error on FINAPRES Finometer Midi, and how to fix it?
    • N
      nicholasfrancisAug 28, 2025
      The 'UNSTABLE PRES' error on the FINAPRES Medical Equipment indicates that constant pressure levels were not stable enough during the pressure staircase procedure at start-up or during a physiocal. Check if the finger cuff air hose is properly inserted into the Frontend Unit. Then, retry the procedure. If the error continues, it is recommended to have the device inspected by Finapres Medical Systems B.V.

    How to resolve 'FINGER TOO THIN' error on FINAPRES Finometer Midi?
    • K
      Keith NewtonSep 1, 2025
      The 'FINGER TOO THIN' error on the FINAPRES Medical Equipment means the infrared level transmitted through the finger is too high. First, retry the measurement. If the issue persists, try using a smaller finger cuff. If that doesn't work, wrap some thin cloth around the finger before replacing the cuff. Use darker cloth if necessary.

    What does 'INT GND FAULT' mean on my FINAPRES Finometer Midi?
    • N
      Noah LewisSep 4, 2025
      The 'INT GND FAULT' error on the FINAPRES Medical Equipment indicates that the zero offset of the pressure transducer is too large. You can try to resolve this by powering the device off and on a number of times. If the error continues, it is recommended to have the device inspected by Finapres Medical Systems B.V.

    What does 'A/D CNV NOT WELL' mean on FINAPRES Finometer Midi?
    • C
      Cindy JensenSep 8, 2025
      The 'A/D CNV NOT WELL' error on the FINAPRES Medical Equipment indicates that the signal ground voltage of the Analog/Digital converter is too high. Power the device off and then on again. If the error persists, have the device checked by Finapres Medical Systems B.V.
