B. Calibration
1.
Calibration is not normally required. In the event the Instructor concludes that
calibration is necessary, proceed as follows;
2.
Assemble the system and turn the Tutor ON. The screen in the upper right hand of the
Tutor will display “000”.
3.
Press “Calibrate, Start” and the display will show “CAL 000”.
4.
Press “Calibrate, Start” again and the display will show “CAL 128”.
5.
Inflate the blood pressure cuff to read 128 on the dial of the sphygmomanometer.
6.
Press “Calibrate, Start” and the display will show “CAL 256”.
7.
Now inflate the blood pressure cuff to read 256 and press “Calibrate, Start” again.
8.
At this time, the BP Tutor will display the reading on the sphygmomanometer. Lower
the cuff pressure to zero and watch the display track the sphygmomanometer.
It is not necessary to re-calibrate the Tutor when it is restarted.

1. This BP arm features an auscultation gap. This gap is slightly below the systolic
pressure in some patients. No audible Korotkoff sounds are heard even though the
radial pulse is present
2. If you wish to disable this feature, RESET the upper and lower auscultation gap
limits to ZERO.
3. Korotkoff sounds will then be heard between the selected systolic and diastolic
pressures.
