22. Maintenance and Storage
The following table shows the recommended maintenance procedures for the
Nightingale PPM3 monitor and its accessories. The Nightingale PPM3 monitor
does not require periodic recalibration – with the exception of the Oridion
Microstream® CO
2
module (see the PPM3 Calibration Procedures after the
Functional Tests). However, it is a good idea to check that the monitor is in good
working order, as described in the following table. These functional tests should
be done every 12 months, and they can be performed by clinicians or qualified
service personnel. The following equipment is needed to perform these
procedures:
• ECG/Respiration Simulator (e.g., Fluke Biomedical MPS-450)
• SpO
2
Simulator (e.g., Fluke Biomedical Index-2)
• Blood Pressure Simulator (e.g., Fluke Biomedical BP-Pump2)
• Safety Analyzer (e.g., Fluke Biomedical 505 Series)
• Oridion Microstream® calibration kit from Air Liquide (Scott
Medical); Part Number T4653ORFCD – including a canister of 5%
CO
2
, 21% O
2
, with the balance N
2
along with a T-piece connection
and a calibration Filterline.
