SunTech suggests this check be performed every 2 years or if there is suspicion that the monitor may be out of
calibration.
Equipment Needed
Calibrated Manometer
Pneumatic "T" Adapters
Volume (500mL bottle or #6 or #7 cuff wrapped tightly around a solid object)
Hand Bulb
Connection Tubing
Procedure
Connect a manometer, volume and the hand bulb to the end of the monitor hose using "T" adapters and connection
tubing.
Touch the Start button which closes the valves and shows the pneumatic pressure.
Apply various pressures (between 0 mmHg and 250 mmHg) to the monitor with the hand bulb. INFLATE SLOWLY
when adding pressure over 200 mmHg to avoid an overpressure. Verify that the module pressure is equal to the
manometer pressure (±3 mmHg or 2% of the target value).
If the pressure is within limits, then touch the Stop button and the calibration check is complete.
If the pressure does not agree with the manometer, then the transducer needs to be re-calibrated. Send monitor back
to SunTech Medical following the procedure in the Limited Warranty section of the manual.
Air Leak Check
International standards for human NIBP devices require that air leakage within the pneumatic system must not
exceed 6 mmHg/min. During manufacturing at SunTech Medical, acceptable air leakage is less than 3 mmHg/min.
Both of these pass criteria will not affect the performance or accuracy of the NIBP module so the SunTech Vet30E
uses the 6 mmHg/min pass criteria. If you do not have access to this equipment or prefer to have someone else
perform the air leak check, the monitor can be sent to SunTech following the procedure described in the Limited
Warranty section of this manual. There may be a charge associated with performing an air leak check.
SunTech suggests this check be performed if there is suspicion of an air leak.
