Monitoring NIBP
9-8
îš„ An air tubing
îš„ A correct sized cylinder
Follow this procedure to perform the leakage test:
1. Set the patient category to [Adult].
2. Connect the cuff to the NIBP connector on the monitor.
3. Wrap the cuff around the cylinder as shown below.
4. Select [Main Menu]→[Maintenance >>]→[NIBP Leakage Test]. The NIBP display
shows [Leakage Testing…].
5. After about 20 seconds, the monitor will automatically deflate. This means the test is
completed.
6. If the message [NIBP Pneumatic Leak] is displayed, it indicates that the NIBP airway
may have leakages. Check the tubing and connections for leakages. If you ensure that
the tubing and connections are all correct, perform a leakage test again.
If the problem persists, contact your service personnel.
NOTE
z The leakage test is intended for use to simply determine whether there are leakages
in the NIBP airway. It is not the same as that specified in the EN 1060-1 standard.
