Accuracy
Accuracy	Maker manual specifies display accuracy of ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% of the displayed pulse value; this specification is distinct from clinical validation	January 2024 guide gives 0–300 mmHg range, 2 mmHg scale divisions, static accuracy within ±3 mmHg and air leakage under ±4 mmHg/min. Guide has conflicting maintenance wording, at least six-monthly recalibration versus two-year accuracy testing; follow the exact applicable service advice rather than treating these as one interval
