Calibration Mode
(e.g., to check the pneumatic system for leaks)
Connect a rubber bulb between pressure tubing
and cuff, using a T-adapter.
Roll up cuff tight.
Turn device off and on again after a few seconds,
then wait for time to be displayed.
Push four times: the display indicates "H 4".
Push : the display indicates an internal value
that must be between 25 and 100. If the displayed
value is outside this range, PHYSIO-PORT UP
must be returned for repair.
Push again: the display indicates "0" (the
display now indicates the pressure in mmHg).
Generate a test pressure of 200 mmHg and
measure the pressure decrease after waiting at least
30 seconds. (Pressure decreases between 3 mmHg
and 5 mmHg are typical; a pressure decrease > 6
mmHg indicates a leak and the system needs to be
repaired.)
Push to exit the calibration mode.
Viewing the Firmware Version
Turn on the device and wait for the time to be
displayed.
Push five times: the display indicates "H 5".
Push : the firmware version is indicated, e.g.,
