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.

    SOURCE: blood pressure cure keep reading

    Make sure that the cuf is over your artery, there will be a little plastic point in the cuff to show you where it goes, which is right in the fold of the upper arm from the elbow..... Take care.... Guy

    SOURCE: I have model 3MD1-CVS (A100/344532)

    Hi,

    You can download the instruction manual in PDF format by clicking this link.

    Adobe PDF Reader is required to view this manual. Download Adobe Reader

    According to information provided in the manual:

    Clear all values

    If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored values, hold down the "M"

    button (the instrument must have been switched off beforehand) until "CL" appears and

    then release the button. If you do not want to clear the values, press the On/off button. To

    permanently clear the memory, press the "M" button while "CL" is flashing.
    Individual values cannot be cleared.


    Hope this helps. Kindly let me know if you have any difficulty in downloading the manual.


    Thanks for using FixYa.

    SOURCE: Walgreens digiital blood pressure monitor model

    Since that BP Monitor has a 5 year warranty. Your best bet is to contact HoMedics (the manufacturer) Customer Support @ 800-456-3342. That's assuming you replaced the old batteries with new one's out of a in date package and all are placed properly.

    Testimonial: "Thank You I think we might need a new one, over 5 years old."

    Blood pressure monitor, model a50-CVS. What does error 4 mean?

    https://www.microlife.com/consumer-products/blood-pressure/upper-arm-semi-automatic/bp-a50


    BP A50 Semi Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor


    See page 1 of the manual above with phone numbers to call for whatever country you live in and ask you question. There was not an error 4 in this manual. You might want to call your Doctor's office, and inquire. Perhaps batteries are going bad.

    What does error 3 on my microlife blood pressure monitor

    Repeat measurement keeping arm still. If inflation of the cuff takes too long, the cuff is not correctly seated or the hose connection's not tight. Check connections and repeat

    Error 3 is showing on my monitor ... What does it mean ?

    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.
