Monitor Event Codes
The 90217 ABP Monitor displays a two-digit event code whenever it is unable to successfully
complete a blood pressure measurement. This event code appears as the last digits on the
monitor display and is preceded by the letters EC (for example, in the displayed event code EC01,
01 is the event code).
The following list contains a brief description of event codes, which can appear:
EC03 Patient cancel.
EC04 Out of time for measurement. NO time to collect additional data but enough time to
evaluate data already collected. Evaluation did not produce a valid reading.
EC05 Individual result corrupted.
EC10 Hung 20 seconds at a bleed step.
EC11 Did not pump high enough. Failed to inflate cuff above systole.
EC13 Reset of Office Check mode.
EC15 Bad checksum in ROM.
EC16 Low battery detected before cuff measurement.
EC18 Too few entries in table to perform analysis.
EC20 Pulse pressure too small. Diastole is greater than historical diastole +20 and there
are large oscillometric entries at cuff pressures below diastole which indicate that
diastole might be lower.
EC25 Bad checksum in RAM containing code. Initialize monitor to download correct code.
EC28 Diastole greater than 200 mmHg.
EC30 Software could not track changes in oscillometric activity.
EC32 Software overpressure.
EC38 Pulse pressure equals 16 mmHg or less.
EC39 Oscillometric (input) queue overflow.
EC40 No non-discarded entries at lower cuff pressures but within 16 mmHg of systole.
EC42 No cuff attached.
EC45 Illegal bleed size. Not between 4 and 8 mm.
