MAINTENANCE
CUFF AND RESERVOIR CALIBRATION
Below is a step-by-step procedure for calibrating both cuff transducers as well as the reservoir transducer. The
calibration procedure will not be complete until both cuff transducers and the reservoir transducer are calibrated in the
exact sequence below:
•
Access the
Service
menu as described in the
Service Menu Access
section above.
•
Touch the
Calibrate
button to access the Calibration function interface.
■
The system will enter the
Calibrate
function and immediately start looking for
the specifi ed pressure input. The fi rst input is the zero (-0-) point (atmospheric
pressure) for the cuff transducers. This will calibrate both cuffs at the same time.
■
When calibrating the zero (-0-) point, do not have any hoses connected to the
system.
CAUTION:
When the system is looking for pressure input, the pinwheel icon will be spinning by the desired
numeric input value. When the system has accepted a valid pressure input, a checkmark will appear by the
numeric input value. If an incorrect input is applied and an attempt is made to calibrate the system with an
incorrect input, the numeric value will turn red. The system will not accept the incorrect value. The pinwheel
will continue spinning by the value. If the correct pressure input is applied and another attempt is made, the
system will accept the value and place a checkmark by the numeric value to indicate the new input pressure
was accepted.
•
Touch the -0- button to calibrate the 0 mmHg pressure point. A correct input will
cause the system to play the confi rmation tone and place a checkmark beside the
numeric input value. Touch the Next button
to continue to the next calibration
point.
•
The system will be looking for 50 mmHg to be applied to the cuff pressure
transducers. Using the supplied calibration hose, connect the hoses to the cuff
transducer sense ports. The cuff transducer ports are the right side port for each of the cuffs.
CAUTION:
During the calibration of the cuff transducers, the pressure values will appear in the cuff displays.
This is the current pressure calibration being sensed. The new calibration will overwrite the value being
displayed as each point is calibrated. Always use the external calibrated pressure meter’s display for the
proper calibration value
.
•
Using a calibrated meter and external pressure source, apply 50 mmHg of pressure to the cuff transducer sense
ports. The pinwheel will be rotating at the 50 numerical value waiting for the pressure to be applied. Once the
pressure has been applied and is stable, touch the -50- button to calibrate the cuff transducers at the 50 mmHg
point. A correct input will cause the system to play the confi rmation tone and place a checkmark beside the
numeric input value. Touch the Next button
to continue to the next calibration point.
