NOTE:
During the calibration process, pressing the Deflate button
will abort the calibration. However, if the calibration has
already been accepted, it cannot be aborted.
5.4.3
IBP Calibration
The purpose of this test is to verify the pressure transducer sensitivity for optimal accuracy.
1.
Connect the patient simulator to the pressure connector on the module.
2.
Set the pressure on the simulator to 0.
3.
Press the Zero Key on the module to start a zero calibration.
4.
Select Calibrate Pressure to set the calibration reference pressure. The default pressure is
200 mmHg.
NOTE:
The Calibrate Pressure is adjustable from 80 mmHg to 300
mmHg at 2 mmHg intervals.
5.
Adjust the simulator to match the calibration reference pressure.
6.
If the value in the Calibrate IBP Menu does not match the calibration reference pressure,
select Calibrate to calibrate the pressure module.

CO
2
Calibration
It is recommended that, in order to provide accuracy verification of the CO
2
, calibration is
performed once a year or whenever CO
2
readings appear suspicious. The date of the last
successful calibration appears on the Calibration CO
2
Menu.
The CO
2
module must be warmed up before calibration.
