NIBP Pressure Test 

 

The real-time value of the system pneumatic pressure is displayed in mmHg. 

For more information, refer to 

Performance Verification

 section. 

With ‘NIBP Pressure Test’ selected, 
1. Place the adult cuff with a rigid PVC vessel (9cm diameter). Connect the cuff and the 

adult hose to NIBP simulator. Then connect the adult hose to the monitor. 

2. Set NIBP simulator to a test mode required. 
3. Adjust a desired target pressure using Up/Down (+/-) selection buttons. 
4. Press NIBP start/stop button.

Sound Calibration 

 

‘Sound Calibration’ is used to set a level of sound volume at factory. 

With ‘Sound Calibration’ selected, 
1. Press Up (+) selection button. 
2. Verify that the level 1 of the volume sounds continuously.
