Blood pressure monitoring

2025-02-24 04:55:18
We are trying to check her BP through a Omron BP reading machine at home. As soon as it reaches 150, it switches off. The machine is working fine on others at home. She is not diabetic and healthy for her age 86.  She moves around on her own. What could be the reason for the BP machine switching off as soon as it reaches 150 ?
