Check that ZEROED is displayed.

6.

Press RESCALE.

7.

Check for a noise level

≥ 3 mm on the IBP waveform.

8.

After allowing a few seconds for settling, check that the mean pressure reading is 0
mm Hg ± 1 mm Hg.

9.

Set the pressure simulator to 200 mm Hg.

10. After allowing a few seconds for settling, check that the mean pressure reading is 200

mm Hg ± 2 mm Hg.

11. Remove the cable from the P1 input jack and verify that the message: P1 FAULT -

1.

Connect the cuff, digital pressure meter, bulb, and the Encore together with the cuff
calibration kit. Using T-connectors from the kit, connect the cuff, pressure meter, and
bulb.

2.

Connect this NIBP test setup to the pressure transducer at PT1 on the Analog board.

3.

Wrap the adult cuff around the black tube volume or a cylindrical object about the size
of an adult’s arm.

4.

Press SETUP > MORE > MORE > SERVICE > YES > NIBP TEST > NIBP CAL.

5.

Close the valve on the bulb and inflate the cuff to 250 mm Hg as shown on the
pressure meter.

6.

Check that the readings (PR1 and PR2) on the monitor's display are 250 ±3 mm Hg
(PR1) and 250 ±15 mm Hg (PR2), as shown below.

Note

If an alarm tone sounds, press SILENCE/RESET

(software version 3.6x and

greater) or ALARM SUSPEND/RESUME (all other software versions).

Note

The NIBP CAL mode holds pressure for 10 minutes. If performing steps 4 through
