b. Check that the SpO2 reading in the parameter window is between 90-100 and the
plethysmographic waveform appears on the screen.
NOTE: You can verify the functionality of a pulse oximeter probe and monitor with a functional
SpO2 tester, but you cannot evaluate their accuracy with such a device. However, if a
particular calibration curve is accurate for the combination of a pulse oximeter monitor and
probe, a functional tester can measure the contribution of a monitor to the total error of a
monitor/probe system. The functional tester can then measure how accurately a particular
pulse oximeter monitor is reproducing that calibration curve.
c. Mark this task as complete on the checkout form.
3.4.7 NIBP tests
15. NIBP Leak Test
a. Check the NIBP tubing system for leakages.
b. Select Monitor Setup > Service Calibrations .
c. Enter the User Name and the Password and press Enter to get into the Calibrations
menu.
d. Select NIBP .
e. Select Start to start the "Calibration Check". This will close the safety and pulse
valves.
.
f. Pump a 250 mmHg (100-300 mmHg) static pressure with the pressure pump when
a message 'Apply 250 mmHg pressure and check the value' is shown. The pressure
measured by the module is updated in real-time to the calibration menu. Wait for a
while until the pressure stabilizes. Check that the pressure does not drop more than
6 mmHg per one minute.
