Dry sensors and clips thoroughly before re-use.
Never immerse sensors and clips in fluids. Do not pour or spray any liquids
on them either. Caustic or abrasive cleaners will cause permanent damage.
Prying the finger clip sensor to an angle greater than 90° can permanently
damage its casing.
Checking the Calibration of Your Device
It is recommended that you check the BP calibration of your
SunTech 247
every two years.
To check calibration:
1.
Start with the device powered off. While holding down the automatic button
on the front of the BP module, toggle on the power button on the right side of the
main enclosure. The ―CAL‖ message is displayed in the pulse rate display to indicate
that the system is in the calibration mode. During this mode, the system pressure
displays in the systolic BP display area.
2.
Using a T-connector, connect a calibrated pressure reference and control, such as a
manometer and inflation bulb, to the pressure hose connector of the
SunTech 247
.
Contact SunTech Medical customer support for details on ordering the calibration kit
which includes a T-connector.
3.
Compare the pressure reference to the
SunTech 247
throughout the pressure range, 0
to 270mmHg. If the difference between the pressure reference and the
SunTech 247
is no larger than 2mmHg, the
SunTech 247
is calibrated correctly for operation. If
the
SunTech 247
needs calibrating, contact an authorized service center on page 46.
4.
Exit the calibration check by pressing the automatic button
again. Once the
display shows dashes as the systolic BP, you are now ready to take a measurement.
It is recommended that you check the temperature calibration of your
SunTech 247
temperature module annually. A FASTEMP™ Calibration Plug (see page 61 for details) is
available to check accuracy of the FILAC™ FASTEMP™ technology. It replaces the regular
probe and verifies the accuracy of the temperature electronics. Replace the temperature
module if error is greater than +/-0.1 C. To check the calibration:
