Pressure Testing
The analyzer enables the user to test for pressure leaks in the test system, measure general
pressure, and evaluate the monitor’s pressure release valve. All three of these functions
are accessed from the Press submenu:

Leak Testing
The Leak Test option allows testing of NIBP equipment, including cuff and tubing, for
air leaks.
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, do not use
the Leak Test option. Rather, use the Manometer option to check for
internal system leaks. Refer to the NIBP monitor operators manual for the
recommended test protocol.
To test for pressure leaks in the NIBP test system:
1. From the
Press submenu, highlight Leak Test and press the Ent key. The Leak
Test screen displays:
