5.2.2.1 NIBP Leakage Test
You should perform the NIBP leakage test before any other NIBP concerned test and calibration.
Tools required:
NIBP cuff for adult patient
Air tubing
Cylinder
Follow this procedure to perform the test:
1. Set
Patient Category to Adult.
2. Connect the NIBP cuff to the NIBP connector on the monitor.
3. Wrap the cuff around the cylinder as shown below.
4. Select Main Menu→System→Maintenance >>→Module→NIBP→NIBP Leakage Test. The message
"
Leakage Testing…" is displayed in the NIBP parameter area.
After about 20s, the cuff automatically deflates, which indicates that the NIBP leakage test is completed. If no message is
displayed in the NIBP parameter area, it indicates that the system has no leakage. If the message "
NIBP Pneumatic
Leak
" is displayed, it indicates that the system may have a leakage. In this case, check that all connections are in good
condition and the cuff and air tubing have no leakage. Then perform the test again.
You can also perform a manual leakage test:
1. Perform steps 1-4 in section 5.2.2.2
NIBP Accuracy Test.
2. Raise the pressure in the rigid vessel to 250 mmHg using the balloon pump. Then wait for 5 seconds so that the
measured values become stable.
3. Record the current pressure value, and use a timer to count time. Then record the pressure value after 60 seconds.
4. Compare the two pressure values and make sure that the difference is not greater than 6 mmHg.
