• Press the Enter key.
7. Press OVERPRESSURE TEST
.
8. To begin the overpressure test, press the Test button, then increase the pressure to the overpressure point:
• Increase pressure to approximately 280mmHg using the hand bulb.
• Very slowly increase the pressure as you approach the overpressure point.
• When the overpressure point is reached, the valves will open (a faint click can be heard when this occurs) and the pressure will rapidly reduce to 0 (zero)
mmHg. Be sure to observe the pressure measurement on the manometer when the valves open.
9. Determine if the NIBP module passed the overpressure test:
• If the valves opened WITHIN the overpressure pass criteria, then the NIBP module PASSED the overpressure test for adults and pediatrics. Go to step 10.
• If the valves opened BEYOND the overpressure point pass criteria, then press the Test button again to confirm the overpressure point. If the valves open
repetitively beyond the pass criteria, contact Masimo Technical Services. See Contacting Masimo on page 65.
10. To stop testing, press Stop.
11. Disconnect the manometer, 500mL bottle or cuff wrapped around solid object, and hand bulb from the NIBP module.
12. Power OFF the manometer.
Test Method for Neonates
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 from Test Method for Adults and Pediatrics above.

2. On the Rad-97 Main Screen, touch the Profiles option in the Status Bar. See About the Status Bar.
3. Select Neonates in the Profiles screen, then touch OK.
4. Start the NIBP measurement then immediately abort:
