Troubleshooting
Why are the Systolic and/or Diastolic Pressure Not Appearing?
Perhaps the size of the cuff is incorrect. You may have a cuff that is too small or 
too large. 
The pressure in the cuff may be falling too quickly, or not fast enough. The pres-
sure release rate should be between 2 and 5 mmHg per second, and never less 
than 2 mmHg per second.
Adjusting the Pressure Release Rate for the Blood Pressure Cuff
The default pressure release rate is 3 mmHg per second. To adjust the rate up or 
down, use a small screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw in the center of the top of 
the push-button valve. Turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise to slow down the 
release rate and turn the screwdriver clockwise to speed up the release rate. The pres-
sure release rate is normally slower if the person’s arm is larger.
Storage
Disconnect the blood pressure cuff from the sensor for storage.

Mean Arterial Pressure 
(MAP)
Ideal MAP is defined as 
93 mmHg, which corre-
sponds to 120/80.
SP = Systolic Pressure
DP = Diastolic Pressure
Three formulas are used to 
compute MAP. All three pro-
duce similar results,
Method #1: MAP = 
DP + (1/3 (SP - DP))
Method #2: MAP = 
(2/3 DP) + (1/3 SP)
Method #3: MAP = 
((2*DP) + SP)/3
Important
The PASCO Blood 
Pressure Sensor is 
designed for educa-
tional use only. It 
cannot be used for 
diagnosis.
