Follow this procedure to perform the leakage test:
1. Set the patient category to [Adu].
2. Connect the cuff to the NIBP connector on the monitor.
3. Wrap the cuff around the cylinder as shown below.
4. In the main menu, select [Maintenance >>]→[User Maintenance >>]→enter the
required password and then select [Maintain NIBP]→[NIBP Leakage Test]. Then,
[Leakage Testing…] is displayed in the NIBP parameter area.
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 1060-3 standard.
