Gain (with Ergo-calibration gas)
Remark:
Not applicable for PwC-Ergo with option Cardiac output
Activate the switches for the suction pump Ergo and the Cal. valve and check the
indicated value in COM98IO.
Attention:
The Gain depends from the used calibration gas and the CO
2
-cell. The
Gain is not adjustable!
9. System calibration
Perform a complete calibration of the device and note down the calibration factors in
the protocol. Add to the check documentation hardcopies of all successfully performed
calibrations.
Volume calibration
Calibrate the
pneumotach “Blendenspirozeptor” with a suitable calibration syringe.
Check the pneumotach for reliance on different flows. When calibrating the
pneumotach with different speed (standard, double and half) drift is allowed only in the
one / in the same direction.
Gas calibration
Perform the gas calibration like described in the operating instruction manual.
10. Self test
Perform all possible measurements by yourself.
Print out the measurement results and add it to the check documentation.
