I have set the CuffLink to perform 120/80 simulation but my monitor reads only 116/78. Why is the monitor not showing 120/80?
Non invasive blood pressure monitor manufactures use what is called algorithms to display someone's blood pressure on the monitor screen. Manufacturers use different algorithms in their monitors. The CuffLink uses only one algorithm so the other manufacture's monitors are using an algorithm different from the one that they expect to see. Therefore the readings can sometimes be off by a few mmHg.
