4.2.4 NIBP Test
Leakage Test
NOTE
 Perform NIBP leakage test before any other NIBP test and calibration.
T
ools required:
 Adult NIBP Cuff
 NIBP Hose
 Cylinder
Follow this procedure to perform the
leakage test:
1. In the [Patient Demographics] menu, set [Patient Category] to [Adult].
2. Connect the NIBP cuff to the NIBP connector on the monitor.
3. Apply the cuff to the cylinder as shown below.
4. Select [Main]→[Maintenance >>]→[User Settings>>]→Enter required
password→→[
Module Maintenance >>]→[NIBP Leakage Test]. The message
[
Leakage Testing…] is displayed in the NIBP parameter area.
After about 20 seconds, the monitor will automatically deflate. This means the test is
complete. If no message is displayed in the NIBP parameter area, it indicates that the system
has no leakage. If the message [
NIBP Pneumatic Leak] is displayed, it indicates that the
system may have a leak. Check the tubing and connections for leakages. Ensure that the
tubing and connections are all correct, perform a leakage test again. If the problem persists,
contact our Technical Support Department.
You may also perform a manual leakage test:
1. Perform steps 1 to 4 in the NIBP Accuracy Test section.
2. Raise the pressure in the rigid vessel to 250 mmHg with the manometer bulb.
Then, wait for 5 seconds to allow the pressure to stabilize.
3. Record the current pressure value, wait 60 seconds and record the pressure again.
4. Compare the two pressure values and verify the difference is 6mmHg or less.
