6.1.2 NIBP Verification
Tools required:
T-shape connector
Appropriate tubing
Balloon pump
Metal Vessel with volume 500 ± 25 ml
Reference manometer (calibrated with accuracy equal to or greater than 1 mmHg)
Follow this procedure to perform a NIBP calibration:
1. Connect the equipment as shown below.
2. Before inflation, the reading of the manometer should be 0. If not, open the balloon pump to let the
whole airway open to the atmosphere. Close the balloon pump after the reading is 0.
3. Check the manometer values and the monitor values. Both should be 0mmHg.
4. Set [NIBP Pressure] to 150 mmHg in the [NIBP Measurement Circuit]. Raise the pump pressure to
150 mmHg. After the pressure value is stabilized, select the[Calibrate] button to start a calibration.
5. Set patient type to [Adult/Pediatric] in the [Overpressure Protection Circuit], and raise the pressure to
350 mmHg. After the pressure value is stabilized, select [Calibrate] to start a calibration.
6. Set the patient type to [Neonate] in the [Overpressure Protection Circuit], and raise the pressure to
165 mmHg. After the pressure value is stabilized, select [Calibrate] to start a calibration.
All calibration results are displayed in the [Calibrate NIBP] menu. If the calibration fails, check the test
system for leakage and perform another calibration.
