Exhalation
and adjust the steps until the analyzer pressure
reads 100 ± 5 cmH

O (95 to 105 cmH
2
O).
8. Check that the Inhalation Pressure and Exhalation Pressure displays
on the hardware screen read within ± 10% of the analyzer display.
EXAMPLE: If the analyzer’s display reads 98.7 cmH
2
O, 10% of the
display is 9.87 cmH
2
O, and ± 10% of the analyzer display would be
88.83 to 108.57 cmH
2
O (-10% = 98.7 - 9.87 = 88.83 cmH
2
O, and
+ 10% = 98.7 + 9.87 = 108.57 cmH
2
O).
9. The pressure accuracy test is complete.
