Operating the DPM1B
Occasionally a blood pressure transducer under test may not have the
sensitivity specified by the manufacturer of the monitor the transducer under
test is connected to. By matching gain adjustments on the monitor, deviations
in sensitivity can usually be compensated for. A transducer that is not
performing as specified, however, could have other problems, and sensitivity
measurements can be an early indication of performance deterioration.
Setup
1.
Connect the Tester transducer, monitor, and 2 stopcocks as
shown in Figure
2
.
Note
The stopcock connecting the Tester to the transducer is used to vent
the system to the atmosphere. The other stopcock is used to fill the
transducer dome with liquid.
2.
Ensure that the testing medium is homogeneous before beginning
any test. The transducer testing can be accomplished using either
an air or liquid-fill system.
Note
Do not mix air and liquid in any part of the system; inaccurate
readings could result.
W
Caution
To avoid damage to the Tester, do not allow any liquid into
the pressure port of the transducer. Use the filter provided
between the liquid and the Tester.
W
Caution
Do not connect the Tester to a sterile environment unless a
new sterile filter is used.
