CALIBRATION
A) TSD120
The TSD120’s built-in pressure transducer will require an initial calibration prior to use. To calibrate the
transducer, wrap the cuff into a roll and begin to inflate the cuff slowly with the pump bulb. The pressure change
will be noticeable on the mechanical indicator. Set the cuff pressure to one lower pressure (typically 20 mmHg)
and then one higher pressure (typically 100 mmHg). In this manner the pressure transducer can be calibrated
using the standard procedure in the SCALING dialog (in Acq
Knowledge
). To use the cuff at a future date, simply
save the calibration settings in a stored file.

B) SS19L
The built-in pressure transducer of the SS19L/LA requires an initial calibration prior to use. To calibrate the
transducer, wrap the cuff into a roll and begin to inflate the cuff slowly with the pump bulb. Notice the pressure
change on the mechanical indicator. Set the cuff pressure to one lower pressure (typically 20 mmHg) and then one
higher pressure (typically 100 mmHg). In this manner the pressure transducer can be calibrated using the standard
procedure in the Scaling dialog box of the BSL
PRO
software. To use the cuff at a future date, simply save the
calibration settings as a New Channel Preset or in a graph template or data file.
C) SS19LA
SS19LA
uses an on-screen gauge display only and does not include a gauge.
Gauge color can be set under Lesson Preferences.
NOTE
:
The SS19LA is not
compatible with MP45 Systems
(USB chip conflict). Use SS19L
with MP45 Systems.
