WARNING
This pneumatic test other than being specified in the ISO 81060-1 standard is to be used
by the user to simply determine whether there are air leaks in the NIBP airway. If at the
end of the test the system gives the prompt that the NIBP airway has air leaks, please
contact the manufacturer for repair.
Procedure of the Air Leakage Test:
1) Connect the cuff securely with the socket for NIBP air hole.
2) Wrap the cuff around the cylinder of an appropriate size.
3) Access the NIBP SETUP menu.
4) Select LEAK TEST by pressing UP/DOWN. It indicates Leak testing… in the
information area.
5) The system will automatically inflate the pneumatic system to about 180 mmHg. After
20 seconds to 40 seconds, if system leakage has detected, the system will automatically
open the deflating valve to stop the leak test and indicates NIBP Leak. If no system
leakage is detected when the pneumatic system is inflated to 180 mmHg, the system will
perform a deflation to an approximate value of 40 mmHg and subsequently perform the
second phase leak test. After 20 seconds to 40 seconds, the system will automatically
open the deflating valve and provide corresponding indication based on the test result.
6) If the alarm information of AIR LEAK appears, it indicates that the airway may have air
leaks. In this case, the user should check for loose connection. After confirming secure
connections, the user should re-perform the pneumatic test. If the failure prompt still
appears, please contact the manufacturer for repair.

NIBP MEMORY
You can set this item to ON or OFF. If the item is ON, the monitor will automatically
memorize the initial measurements of the patient when measuring his or her blood pressure.
Then the monitor will inflate the cuff according to the previous memorized measurements.
This function accelerates the measuring of the patient’s blood pressure.
