7. Adjust the stopcock to connect the syringe to the
8. Turn the stopcock to connect the manometer to the
9. The water column in the manometer will start to fall.
Test Results
The resultant closing pressure may be compared to the
table below.
Note: Variations in the manometer closing pressure test
result are possible based upon the test conditions and
the test method utilized.

Confirm that there are no bubbles attached to the end
of the distal catheter and that the water bath does not
obstruct the end of the catheter.
manometer (Figure A-6 above) and refill the manometer
to a height equal to the operating pressure of the next
highest setting above the valve setting being tested, or
to 60 cmH O if one is testing Setting 8. Refer to Table 1

for operating pressure specifications.
valve (Figure A-7 above).
Allow the water column to drop for 2 minutes and
then read the resultant pressure.
Note: For valves with distal catheter and/or
SIPHONGUARD Device, an extended test time
is recommended in order to compensate for the
possibility of a decreased flow rate due to the
additional catheter resistance and/or SIPHONGUARD
Device activation. Allow the water column to drop for
4 minutes and then read the resultant pressure.
