Why does my Medline MDS3001U show an abnormal result?
- CCarla BarkerJul 25, 2025
An abnormal result on your Medline Blood Pressure Monitor could be due to several reasons. It may be that the cuff was not positioned correctly or wasn't properly tightened; in this case, apply the cuff correctly and try again. Your body posture might have been incorrect during the test; review the instructions regarding body posture during measurement and re-test. Movement, speaking, or emotional state (anger, excitement, or nervousness) during testing can also cause this; re-test when calm, without speaking or moving. Finally, an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) may also be the cause; note that this device is not appropriate for people with serious arrhythmia.
