IBP Pressure Calibration
Method 1
Tools required:
Medsim300B patient simulator, MPS450, or other equivalent device
IBP adapter cable for test (P/N 009-002199-00 for Medsim 300B, P/N 009-002198-00 for
MPS450)
Follow this procedure to perform the test:
1. Connect the patient simulator to the pressure connector on the module.
2. Set the patient simulator to 0 for the desired IBP channel.
3. Press the Zero Key on the module to make a zero calibration.
4. Configure the patient simulator as P (static) = 200 mmHg.
5. Select [Main Menu]→ [Maintenance >>]→[User Maintenance >>]→[Cal. IBP
Press. >>]. In the [Cal. IBP Press.] menu, set the calibration value to 200 mmHg.
6. Select the [Calibrate] button next to the desired IBP channel to start a calibration.
7. If the calibration is completed successfully, the message [Calibration Completed!] will
be displayed. Otherwise, a corresponding message will be displayed.
Method 2
Tools required:
Standard sphygmomanometer
Balloon pump
Tubing
T-shape connector
To perform a calibration:
1. Connect the 3-way stopcock, the sphygmomanometer and the balloon pump through a
T-shape connector, as shown below.
2. Vent the transducer to the atmospheric pressure by turning on the 3-way stopcock to the
air. Zero the transducer, and then open the stopcock to the sphygmomanometer.
3. Select [Main Menu]→[Maintenance >>]→[User Maintenance >>]→enter the
required password → [Cal. IBP Press. >>] In the [Cal. IBP Press.] menu, set the
calibration value to 200 mmHg.
4. Inflate using the balloon pump until the reading of sphygmomanometer approximates
the preset calibration value.
