6. Setting System Parameters and Systems Calibration
6-76
At each startup the system automatically checks if the temperature probe, pressure
sensor and the power module have lost calibration information. If any one of the
hardware parameters has been corrupted, the system goes directly into the
Calibration/Set-Up screen upon boot up. The TEMP CAL, PRESS CAL and/or POWER
CAL key(s) will light up to indicate that calibration is needed. The system will not exit the
Calibration/Set-Up mode until it is calibrated. In addition, the current time and date, bolus
setup volume and the presence of AC or DC power are displayed.
Calibration of the system is done at the factory. A password is required to calibrate the
system to insure that this mode is not accessed accidentally.
Calibration must be done in the following order:
1. Pressure sensor
2. Temperature probes
3. Power module and pump
Materials needed for calibration:
• New disposable set
• Manometer or gauge (up to 300 mmHg , 2 mmHg resolution)
• Pressure source
• Thermometer with readout resolution to 0.1ºC
• Graduated cylinder (ASTM Class B accuracy)
• Timer
HARDWARE CALIBRATIONS
CAUTION
The instrument does not need regular calibration. Calibrate the
instrument only after verifying that it is operating outside accepted
parameters or when the calibration information has been corrupted.
WARNING!
Do not access hardware calibration while the instrument is patient
