15. Measurement function check
and service addresses
15.1 Explanation of measure-
ment function check
Each Tensoval duo control device
has been carefully tested by HART-
MANN for measuring precision, and
been developed for a long useable
service life.
We recommend a check of the
measurement function at intervals
of two years in the case of profes-
sional users, such as pharmacies,
medical practices or hospitals. You
should also observe the national
regulations, such as, in Germany,
the “Medizinprodukte-Betreiberver-
ordnung” (Medical Device
Operating Regulation).
Measurement function checks can
be carried out either by the indica-
ted Service address, by competent
authorities or authorised maintenan-
ce providers against compensation.
Instructions for the measure-
ment function check:
A device function check can be car-
ried out on people or using a suita-
ble simulator. Measurement func-
tion check involves testing for leak
tightness of the pressure system
and possible deviations of the pres-
sure reading.
Remove at least one battery in
order to switch to calibration mode.
Hold down on the START/STOP but-
ton and then insert the battery.
Release the button and, after a few
moments, two zeros will appear
one above each other on the dis-
play.
Instructions on the measurement
function check will be supplied on
request to competent authorities or
authorised maintenance providers
by HARTMANN.
