Philips VS4 MAP

Hello everyone,

Recently encountered a question about MAP on the Philips VS4s. Doing the formula vs what the vital signs shows you gives different readings.
For example:

Vital Signs readings: 100/47 (57)
Using the formula MAP = (SBP + 2DBP)/3: 100/47 (65)

Why is it that the VS gives different readings?
Any info is much appreciated.
