Key tips
- ·When no category-specific guidance fits, default to the manufacturer's own service manual and the general troubleshooting method in the Engineer's Guide.
- ·Run an incoming and annual electrical safety test regardless of how niche the device is.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Gauge out of calibration / CAL reminder
MediumSymptoms: Reads high or low vs a reference, or a "CAL" recalibration reminder appears after ~10,000-15,000 cycles.
Root cause: Semiconductor pressure sensor drift - the e-sphyg is not user-adjustable; return to ADC for recalibration.
"Err" heartbeat-detection error
LowSymptoms: "Err" shown, no systolic-assist prompts.
Root cause: Cuff deflated too rapidly - keep the deflation rate about 2-3 mmHg per second.
"E3" data error
LowSymptoms: "E3" on the display.
Root cause: Internal data fault - remove and reinsert the batteries; return the device if it recurs.
Cuff / bladder or valve leak
MediumSymptoms: Pressure will not hold, over-pressure or residual-pressure warning.
Root cause: Perforated bladder, cracked tubing, or a worn ADFLOW air-release valve.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Follow the manufacturer's PM schedule
- ·Perform incoming and annual electrical safety testing per facility biomedical program
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Gauge suspected inaccurate
- Check the needle rests at zero (aneroid) or the display check matches the reference image (digital).
- Connect to a calibrated pressure standard with ADC's Y-test kit (part 991 / 991).
- Pressurise to ~299 mmHg and check at 299, 250, 150, 100 and 50 mmHg - should be within +/-3 mmHg.
- If out of tolerance or a CAL reminder is shown, return the gauge to ADC's Service Department.
- Record the calibration date.
Symptom: Cuff will not hold pressure
- Inflate the cuff to ~200 mmHg with the valve closed and watch the gauge.
- A steady fall means a leak - check the bladder, tubing, bulb valves and connectors.
- Replace the leaking part.
- Confirm the air-release valve opens and closes cleanly.
- Re-test the pressure hold.
