3. Reconnect the deflated cuff and manometer to the PDM as shown in “Calibration check
procedure” on page 16-26.
4. Next to Gain Calibration , select Start .
The acquisition device starts pumping up the pressure cuff and pressures displayed on
both the patient monitor and the manometer show an increase.
The pump shuts off at about 250 mmHg, and the pressure drops slowly to about 240
mmHg before stabilizing.
NOTE: If the pressure continues to drop at a rate of 1 mmHg or more for every five seconds,
there is a leak in the NIBP plumbing. If there is a leak in the NIBP plumbing, correct the problem
and restart this calibration procedure.
NOTE: To abort the calibration process with no changes, press
Stop Calibration .
5. Under Adjust the measured pressure next to Pressure mmHg , use the up or down arrow
to select a pressure value that is 1 mmHg lower than the current manometer reading.
6. When the manometer falls to exactly the value that you selected in the popup window,
select
Confirm to enter the value. The module then releases pressure in the cuff.
7. Next to Calibration Check , select Start .
8. Make sure that the pressure readings (shown as CUFF in the NIBP parameter box) on the
patient monitor and manometer are equal (± 1 mmHg) for at least one full minute.
9. Next to Calibration Check , select Stop .
10. Remove the cuff and manometer from the PDM.
11. Mark this task as complete on the checkout form.
