Not inflate the cuff

YOU did NOT SPECIFY your MODEL NUMBER but tonight ~ Christmas Eve ~ YOU got LUCKY! I found this and it may help you... but
THIS INFORMATION MAY NOT BE FOR YOUR DEVICE!

"LCD shows "Er 4"
Pneumatic system leak
or cuff is too loose during inflation

And this:

LCD shows "Er 0"
Pressure system is instable before measurement
Be still and measure again

LCD shows "Er 1"
Systolic pressure detect fail

LCD shows Er2 Diastolic pressure detect fail

LCD shows "Er 3"
Pneumatic system is
blocked or cuff is too
tight during inflation
Place the cuff correctly
and try again

LCD shows "Er 4"

If your blood pressure mahine is like those fro Walgreen's:

Error Codes

Err 0 No pulse is detected
Err 1 Inflation rate is too low
Err 2 Systolic reading unattainable
Err 3 Cuff pressure is too high
Err 4 Diastolic pressure is outside of operation range
Err 5 Cuff deflated too fast
Err 6 Cuff deflated too slow
Err 7 Systolic pressure is outside of operation range
Err 8 Overall pressure is outside of operation range
Err 9 Cuff is unable to inflate to the necessary pressure level

Several of the CVS brand blood pressure monitors are made by MicroLife USA. For those models, the Error 3 indicates that you may have been moving your arm while the unit was obtaining the readings. You need to repeat the measurement while staying still.

The other possible cause of the error are that the cuff didn't inflate in a reasonable length of time. Check that the cuff is properly placed on your arm. Also make sure that the inflation hose is tightly connected to the cuff socket on the unit.

I hope this helps.

On other blood pressure monitors from Life Source, the error 3 means that the blood pressure cuff isn't inflating properly. The cuff could be incorrectly fastened or the air connector is backwards or not connected to the cuff or the monitor. Check this on your monitor.

I hope this helps.

Hi library336

The Omron HEM-780 generally has 5 Error Messages:


1]
ERROR MESSAGE: A single (E) Error message indicates movement during the measurement process, resulting in an inconclusive reading or the absence of a Blood Pressure or Pulse reading caused by a weak Arterial Pulse.

SOLUTION: Remove the cuff. Wait 10-15 minutes. Repeat measurement using approximately 40mmHg more pressure than in the previous measurement.

2]
ERROR MESSAGE: A Double (EE) Error message indicates an under-inflated cuff. Remove the cuff. Wait 2-3 minutes.

SOLUTION: Repeat measurement using approximately 40mmHg more pressure than in the previous, under-inflated measurement.

3]
ERROR MESSAGE: An E directly below another E Error message indicates an over-inflated cuff (in excess of 300 mmHg). Remove the cuff.

SOLUTION: Wait 2-3 minutes. Repeat measurement using approximately less pressure than in the previous, over-inflated measurement.


4]
ERROR: A Blank Screen indicates low or depleted batteries.

SOLUTION: Remove and replace all 4 AA Batteries. Do not mix used and new batteries.

5]
ERROR MESSAGE: An (Er) Error Message indicates an abnormal memory function caused by a faulty internal component.

SOLUTION: Call Omron Customer Service, Toll Free, on (in the USA) 1-800-634-4850 (or on the equivalent Toll Free or Freefone Number in your country).

I hope this helps.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Possible explanations and work-arounds based on various blood pressure monitors..net is if it has worked religiously like mine had and this error comes up, and the simple fixes below do not work, there is something internally wrong with the unit..there does not seem to be any customer reset or obvious fixes..contact the manufacturer for service..

Error Description Potential cause and remedy

«Err 3» No pressure in the cuff
An adequate pressure cannot be generated in the cuff. A leak
may have occurred. Replace the batteries if necessary. Repeat the
measurement.

Error Codes

Err 0 No pulse is detected
Err 1 Inflation rate is too low
Err 2 Systolic reading unattainable
Err 3 Cuff pressure is too high
Err 4 Diastolic pressure is outside of operation range
Err 5 Cuff deflated too fast
Err 6 Cuff deflated too slow
Err 7 Systolic pressure is outside of operation range
Err 8 Overall pressure is outside of operation range
Err 9 Cuff is unable to inflate to the necessary pressure level
--------------------------------------
Error No. Possible cause(s)
Err 1 No pulse has been detected. Cuff may be positioned incorrectly.
Err 2 The arm was moved during the measurement.
Err 3 Inflation of the cuff took too long. The cuff is not positioned correctly.

Hi. One of the most common error symbol that appears on this display panel is a EE with a down arrow and two numerals. The reason for the EE Error Indicator is usually caused because the cuff has been wrapped too loose. The cuff was under-inflated during the measurement. This error will also display if the cuff is worn and needs to be replaced. The EE symbol with a down arrow indicates the cuff is over-inflated. In most instances the cuff has been wrapped too tight or you are using the incorrect cuff size. Turn the monitor off. Read the instructions to correctly apply the cuff. Wait five to ten minutes then take another measurement. This should correct the issue.

E might represents insufficient inflation for your mom. For automatic inflation monitors usually there is a mechanism to keep inflating the cuff to higher pressures for people with higher BP. Check how is done. In some auto monitors,while cuff is inflated you keep pressing on START button until pressure reaches to some 15 to 20 mmHg higher than the pressure that auto usually stops and displays E.
