QUICK CALIBRATION CHECK AND

RECALIBRATION REFERENCE CHARTS

Doing a Calibration Check

Attach syringe to PneurnoCheck

and

TEST.MODE

Doing a Recalibration

Attach syringe to PneumoCheck

Flush syringe through PneumoCheck

several times

Follow messages to PULL.BACK and

DO CAL twice more

CF=XXXX followed by GOOD CAL

yields a good calibration

If RETRY CAL message appears,

process must be repeated
