c Pump up the system pressure to approximately 170 mmHg.
d Wait 10 seconds for the pressure to stabilize.
e Press the START (F1) key on the CuffLink simulator and wait one minute while the leak
rate is measured.
f At the end of the minute, the leak rate will appear on the CuffLink display.

repeat the test. If the system continues to fail, isolate each length of tubing to locate and
repair the source of the leak.
