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.
Cuff will not inflate
HighSymptoms: Cuff does not pressurise on command.
Root cause: Membrane panel / control not seated, pump not plugged in, a stuck-open deflate valve, or a valve-driver / harness fault.
Cuff will not hold pressure / leak detected
MediumSymptoms: System repeatedly tops up the cuff, leak alarm, set pressure not held.
Root cause: Cuff bladder or hose leak, or a loose connector.
Pressure inaccurate
HighSymptoms: Displayed pressure disagrees with a reference.
Root cause: Pressure transducer drift or a control-board calibration fault.
Cuff will not deflate
HighSymptoms: Cuff stays pressurised when deflation is commanded.
Root cause: Deflate valve stuck shut, or a valve-driver fault.
Runs on battery / short backup time
MediumSymptoms: Battery indicator lit during normal use, unit dies on transport.
Root cause: Aged backup battery or a charger fault.

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: Cuff will not inflate
- Confirm the membrane panel / control is seated and the pump is plugged in with an intact harness.
- Check the internal tubing is not pinched and connectors are mated.
- Check the deflate valve is not stuck open.
- Run the functional and calibration checks.
- Replace the pump or valve as isolated.
Symptom: Pressure reading suspect
- Power-cycle and let any self-check run.
- Tee a calibrated reference manometer to the cuff port.
- Compare at several set pressures.
- Recalibrate per the service manual or replace the transducer.
- Re-verify and record the date.
