NIBP cuff for adult patient
Appropriate tubing
Cylinder
Follow this procedure to perform the test:
1. Set [Patient type] to [Adult].
2. Connect the NIBP cuff with the NIBP socket on the monitor.
3. Apply the cuff to the cylinder as shown below.
4. Select [Main menu]→ [MAINTAIN]→Password “5188” →[Leakage Test]. The message[Leakage
Testing…] is displayed in the NIBP parameter area.
5. The cuff automatically deflates after 20s, which means 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 if all connections are good and the cuff and tubing have no leakage. Perform the test again
after making sure all connections are good and the cuff and tubing have no leakage.
You can either perform a manual leakage test:
1. Raise the pressure in the rigid vessel to 250 mmHg with the balloon pump. Then, wait for 5 seconds to
let the measured values becoming stable.
2. Record the current pressure value and meanwhile use a time counter to count time. Then, record the
pressure value after counting to 60s.
3. Compare the two values and make sure the difference should not be greater than 5 mmHg.
6.2.2 NIBP Calibration
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)
