IBP Test
Pneumatic Leakage Test
To check the pneumatic system and valve:
IBP Test
This test checks the performance of the invasive blood pressure measurement.
To perform this test, you need a patient simulator such as the Foss Systems BP28.
To perform the IBP test:
Step
1
In the NBP Test menu, select the Start Static Pressure Test button.
2
Squeeze the manometer pump to apply a pressure of 280 mmHg.
3
Wait 10 seconds for the pressure to stabilize. Note the pressure value in
the NBP Test menu.
Note — Philips employees record this value as P1.
4
Wait 60 seconds for the pressure to stabilize. Note the pressure value in
the NBP Test menu.
Note — Philips employees record this value as P2.
5
Calculate and document the leakage test value. The leakage test value
should be less than or equal to 6 mmHg.
Note — Philips employees record this value as X3 (where X3 = P1 - P2).
6
Select the Stop Static Pressure Test to stop the process.
7
If the leakage test value exceeds 6 mmHg, check the test setup cuff and
tubing, and then test again. If the test still fails, check the pneumatic
tubing inside the monitor (see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting.”)
8
If you cannot eliminate the leak, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting.”
Step
1
Connect the patient simulator to the IBP connector.
2
Open the Blood Pressure menu and make sure that the Display IBP check
box is selected
Make sure that the IBP Label option selected is the same as the IBP
measurement type selected on the patient simulator.
3
Ensure that the IBP waveform displays in one of the sectors on the
monitor. ? appears in the numeric IBP pane.
4
Set the patient simulator to atmosphere (atm).
The monitor displays IBP Zero Required in the status pane.
