Calibration
Warning: The calibration of the NIBP measurement is necessary for every two
years (of as frequently as dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy). The
performance should be checked according to the following details.
Procedure of the Pressure Transducer Calibration:
1) Replace the cuff of the device with a rigid metal vessel with a capacity of 500 ml
±
5%.
2) Connect a calibrated reference manometer with an error less than 0.8 mmHg and a
ball pump by means of a T-piece connector and hoses to the pneumatic system.
3) Access the NIBP menu.
4) Turn the trim knob to the
〈
Manometer
〉
option
and press. Then the NIBP module
has started performing calibration.
5) Inflate the pneumatic system to 0, 50 and 200 mmHg by ball pump separately. The
difference between the indicated pressure of the reference manometer and the
indicated pressure of the monitor will not exceed 3 mmHg. Otherwise, please
contact our customer service.
6) Press the
〈
NIBP/STAT
〉
button on front panel can stop the calibration.
