Calibration checks - Testing instructions
(for trained specialist staff only)

latest – must be performed by the follow-
ing institutions or persons:
– Manufacturer
– Trade measurements authorities
– Persons who fulfil the requirements of
the legislation governing the operation
of medical devices.
A) Function testing
Function testing of the monitor can
only be carried out on a person or with
a suitable simulator.
B) Testing of pressure circuit integrity
and deviation of pressure display
Note:
a) When the pressure in measurement
mode increases above 320 mmHg, the
quick release valve is triggered and the
pressure circuit opens. When the press-
ure in test mode increases above 320
mmHg, the measured value display
flashes.
b) Remove the plug from the cuff tube for
testing.
Then attach the short connecting piece
of the plug – previously inserted into
the socket on the monitor – to the cuff
tube and insert the long connecting
piece of the plug into the monitor.
A pump ball must also be introduced
into the pressure circuit.
