NIBP Monitoring
Warning A
You shall calibrate NIBP measurement once every two years (or as required in your
hospital's maintenance regulation). You shall check the performance according to
following information.
Procedures to calibrate Pressure Transducer:
Replace the cuff of the device with a rigid metal vessel with a capacity of 500 ml t 5%.
Connect a calibrated reference manometer with an error less than 0.8 mmHg and a ball pump
by means of a T-piece connector and hoses to the pneumatic system. Set the monitor in
CALIBRATE mode. Inflate the pneumatic system to 0, 50 and 200 mmHg by ball pump
separately. The difference between the indicated pressure of the reference manometer and
the indicated pressure of the monitor will not exceed 3 mmHg. Otherwise, please contact our
customer service.

start NIBP inflating process so as to find if the NIBP airway is closed and in good
condition. If the test is successful, the system will not give any prompt. If the test is failed,
the system will display corresponding error message in the NIBP information area.
