Does blood pressure cuff hold memory for multiple readings?
SOURCE: We don't the manual for our model #BPA-440WGN and
We're having consistently high readings with ours, too. We've compared it with as many as two other units at various test sessions.
From the manual:
------------------------
All digital blood pressure monitors require recalibration in order to ensure continued accuracy.
This monitor does not require recalibration for 2 years under normal usage conditions (approx 3x/day), at which time your monitor will display "CA." The unit should also be recalibrated if the monitor sustains damage due to blunt force (such as dropping) or exposure to fluids or extreme hot or cold temperature changes.
To send monitor for recalibration, please ship to the address below with check or money order in the amount of $10 payable to HoMedics, Inc., for recalibration service, shipping and handling:
HoMedics Recalibration Service Center
Post Office Box 7050
Walled Lake, MI 48390
Allow up to 3 weeks for return of product. For additional information, contact HoMedics Consumer Relations at 1-800-466-3342.

So, do we spend $10 plus postage and wait 3 weeks or more...or do we use the $10 toward a new one immediately at a Walgreen's a half-mile away? It's a nice unit and works well otherwise, so it's a quandry. I hate to toss it. Good luck.

Wherever you attach it - there must be a pulsating artery; Some people have atypic artery locations, old embolism with collateralisation (arterys everywhere except the place you think they are). Try another arm/leg/finger. Try it on your husband/nice/neighbour. Look if the marterial has a defect - then the error occurs in anybody, or if it measures accurately in the postman and not in you _ then you must look for a,other place to measure. If you have cardiacabnsolute arrhythmia or a lot of backfires (extra systoles): forget electronic measuring devices. Buy an old one with a stethoscope

Contact the HoMedic's Consumer Relations Dept @ 800-466-3342 Mon - Fri, 8:30am - 5:00pm ET, they can help you.
Keep in mind, that improper placement of the wrist cuff can cause higher or lower readings, than what they truly are. Also, not keeping your arm at heart level can cause an inaccurate reading.

CA means CALIBRATION required and you must send it in.
SOURCE: When the blood pressure monitor reads E- error.
It depends on which E-error you're getting.
EE - indicates several things:
E1 - Air circuit abnormality. Measure again.
E2 - Inflation pressure exceeding 300 mmHg. Switch the unit OFF.Wait 1 minute, then measure again.
E3 - Error determining measurement data. Measure again.
Hope this helped you to determine which Error you're receiving. Please let me know.
