If your values are not acceptable, confirm that all tubing connections are tight and re-perform
the calibration making sure the cannula is tightly blocked during the closed calibration. If you
continue to get values that are not within acceptable range, please contact SCIREQ Technical
Support.
The importance of proper calibration cannot be overstated. Any errors or inaccuracies
introduced during calibration become part of the data until the next calibration is performed.
