Create a leak in the cuff by partially detaching the hose (either port) from the unit while a cuff is infl ated.
•
Make the leak large enough that the pressure drops more than 15 mmHg below set-point. Observe:

A short delay is instituted to reduce nuisance alarms.
■
An audible tone will sound and a red alarm indicator will fl ash announcing the alarm condition.
■
A yellow Warning tile drops over the PRESSURE display and indicates “LOW PRESSURE” as well as the
monitored pressure:
■
If a substantial leak has been present for more than an extended time, the “LOW PRESSURE” text will
change to “CUFF LEAK.”
■
Stop the leak and observe that monitored pressure returns to regulated state, the audible tone stops, the
red alarm indicator turns off, and the alarm message is no longer displayed.
