3.4.5 NIBP Tests
NIBP Accuracy Test
Tools required:
T-shape connector
Appropriate tubing
Balloon pump
Metal Vessel (volume 500±25 ml)
Reference manometer (calibrated with accuracy higher than 1 mmHg)
Follow this procedure to perform the accuracy test:
1. Connect the equipment as shown above.
2. Before inflation, the reading of the manometer should be 0.If not, disconnect the
airway and reconnect it until the readings is 0.
3. In the main menu, select [Maintenance >>]→[User Maintenance >>]→enter the
required password and then select [Maintain NIBP]→[NIBP Accuracy Test].
4. Compare the manometer values with the displayed values. The difference between the
manometer and displayed values should not be greater than 3 mmHg.
5. Raise the pressure in the metal vessel to 50 mmHg with the balloon pump. Repeat step
3 and 4.
6. Raise the pressure in the metal vessel to 200 mmHg with the balloon pump. Repeat
step 3 and 4.
NOTE
z You can use an NIBP simulator to replace the balloon pump and the reference
manometer to perform the test.
