16.5 NIBP Test
16.5.1 NIBP Leakage Test
The NIBP leakage test checks the integrity of the system and of the valve. It is required at
least once a year or when you doubt the measured NIBP. If the test failed, corresponding
prompt messages will be given. If no message is displayed, it means no leakage is
detected.
Tools required:

An adult cuff

An air tubing

A correct sized cylinder
Follow this procedure to perform the leakage test:
1. In the [ Patient Demographics ] menu, set [ Patient Category ] to [ Adult ].
2. Connect the cuff to the NIBP cuff connector on the monitor.
3. Wrap the cuff around the cylinder as shown below.
4. Select [ Main ]

[ NIBP Leakage Test ]. The message
[ Leakage Testing… ] is displayed in the NIBP parameter area.
After about 20 seconds, the monitor will automatically deflate. This means the test is
completed. If the message [
NIBP Pneumatic Leak ] is displayed, it indicates that the NIBP
airway may have leakages. Check the tubing and connections for leakages. If you ensure
that the tubing and connections are all correct, perform a leakage test again. If the
problem persists, contact your service personnel.
NOTE

The leakage test is intended for use to simply determine whether there are
leakages in the NIBP airway.
