placed into a test mode so that the software will not release the cuff pressure prior to the over
pressure activating. The trigger point on the over pressure feature of many patient monitors can
depend on the inflation rate, so care should be taken to create an inflation rate which is similar to
that produced by the monitor’s pump with a typical cuff.
• NIBP Manometer
SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, and SC-4: Static Manometer readout displays pressures from 0 to +400mmHg
in 0.1mmHg steps. NIBP simulation is OFF.
SC-5: Static Manometer readout displays pressures from –400 to +400mmHg in 0.1mmHg steps.
NIBP simulation is OFF.
This mode can be used for performing static calibration of NIBP monitors. In many cases the
monitor must be placed in a special test mode so that it will not release the cuff pressure.
• NIBP Leak Test (SC-5 only)
This mode is used for measuring leak rates in NIBP monitors, their cuffs and their hoses. Until it
detects that cuff inflation is complete, leak test mode will simply display the cuff pressure. Once
cuff inflation completion is detected (less then 8mmHg change in a 5 seconds window), leak test
mode will start its elapsed timer. When the elapsed timer reaches 15 seconds (to allow for initial
pressure settling), the display will begin to cycle every 5 seconds showing static pressure,
indicated by P (in mmHg); leak rate, indicated by L (in mmHg per minute); and elapsed time (in
Min:Sec). In many cases the monitor must be placed in a special test mode so that it will not
release the cuff pressure.
