XI. Apply 157 mmHg (210mBar) pressure using the bulb pump or syringe, and hold the
pressure.
XII. Approximately 12 seconds after the “Pop Off” option was selected, the monitor will bleep
3 times and then start calibration. Retaining the pressure at this point is crucial.
Calibration may take up to a minute.
XIII. When calibration is complete, the monitor will enter its Failsafe alarm mode.
XIV. Turn off the DINAMAP*

, and remove LK1.
XV. Check calibration by repeating test 3.3.3.
XVI. Carryout Manual Release Test Procedure as per Section 4 prior to release of unit
for clinical use.
Note:
If overpressure occurs when applying pressure in point (XII) above, turn off the DINAMAP*
Compact
and re-start the sequence.
3.3.5 Predictive Temperature Calibration Check
The predictive temperature calibration of the DINAMAP*
Compact
monitor should be checked every 12
months or when there is doubt about the validity of the temperature readings. The temperature
calibration plug (part number 320-635) may be used to check the calibration of the temperature
detection circuits within the monitor.
-- CAUTION --
DO NOT
twist the calibration plug when inserting
or removing it since this may damage the precision
resistors contained within the plug.
To check the temperature calibration:
I. Insert the plug into the temperature probe connector on the front of the monitor and
switch the monitor on.
II. Switch on the DINAMAP*
Compact
and wait for the main menu to be displayed on the
LCD.
III. IF UUT
°
C LED is lit, select MODE followed by SERVICE from the sub menu. Enter
service code 2 2 1 3.
IV. Select TEMP followed by ‘C OR F’ from the sub menu.
V. When LCD displays message ‘Trend data will be lost’, select YES and confirm
°
F LED is
lit.
VI. Switch unit off then on.
VII. Select the TEMP button from the main menu.
VIII. After determination (approximately 60 seconds), the Temperature display should show
98.6
±
0.1
°
F.
IX. If the display is off by more than
±
0.1 degree, the monitor is out of calibration and should
be calibrated.
Note:
The calibration plug contains an internal resistor that must be verified every time the monitor is
calibrated. Using a calibrated multimeter, the resistance between pins 1 and 2 of the calibration
plug should be 6090
±
7
Ω
. If the plug is not within this range, replace it.
