to pump air into the system. The pump stops inflating when the

actual pressure is equal to the Target value set in the Utility options. This value

should be that suggested in the NIBP monitor operators manual.

5. Press

to begin testing for leakage. The Analyzer measures any

pressure drop in the system for the duration of one minute. An audible tone sounds at

the end of the test period, and measurement stops. Table 2-5 describes the measured

parameters.

Table 2-5. Measured Leak Test Parameters

Parameter Description

Pressure actual (mmHg)

The actual pressure of the BP cuff

Pressure drop (mmHg)

The measured drop in cuff pressure as the test progresses

Elapsed time (min:sec)

How much time the leak test has taken

Leak rate (mmHg/min)

The rate of air leakage at the end of the one-minute test

Target (mmHg)

The pressure to which the Analyzer inflates and begins leak testing

6. When finished, press
