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 the set target pressure, and the pressure drops slowly 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 perform the “Calibration procedure” on page 16-27.
10. Verify that the pressure readings on the patient monitor (shown as
CUFF in the NIBP
parameter box) and the manometer are equal (± 1 mmHg) for at least one full minute.

If the readings are equal, the device is properly calibrated.

If the readings are not equal, the device requires calibration. Complete this section,
then continue with “Calibration procedure” on page 16-27.
