To do a pressure relief test:
1. Touch the More softkey in the Home screen.
2. Touch the Pressure Relief Test control to show the screen in Figure 9 in the
display.

3. Manually increase the pressure in the NIBP pneumatic system.
When the Product senses a sharp drop in pressure, the test stops. The Product
shows “Relief Valve = Tripped” in the display and the measured pressure when
the valve opened. It is recommended you do three pressure relief tests in case
the relief valve is intermittent. To do the pressure relief test again, touch the
Clear softkey and do step 3 above.
Touch the Home softkey to go back to the Home screen.
How to Do a Leak Test
The leak test measures leaks in a non-invasive blood pressure monitor, the
hoses connected to the monitor, and the pressure cuff.
Note
Before you do a pressure leak test on a monitor, do the pressure
leak test without the monitor. This measures the leak rate of the
hoses and pressure cuff. Use this leak rate to offset the rate of the
full system with the monitor connected.
Note
Put the NIBP monitor in “calibrate” or “service” mode to close the
vent valve, so the user can inflate the pneumatic system. Refer to
the service manual for the NIBP monitor.
Note
If the NIBP device has an internal system leak test or one that vents
the cuff inflation pneumatic circuit to the atmosphere when idle, refer
to the NIBP monitor operators manual for the recommended test
protocol.
Connect the Product to the monitor and cuff as shown in Figure 6.
