Noninvasive Blood Pressure Performance Tests

This section describes noninvasive blood pressure test procedures. The monitor must be in Service
Mode. The Test and Inspection Matrix gives the expected test results for each of the tests.

Accuracy Test

This test checks the performance of the noninvasive blood pressure measurement. Connect the
equipment as shown:
Tools required:
• Reference manometer (includes hand pump and valve), accuracy 0.2% of reading
• Expansion chamber (volume 250 ml +/- 10%)
• Appropriate tubing
In Service Mode, the systolic and diastolic readings indicate the noise of noninvasive blood pressure
channels 1 and 2 respectively. When static pressure is applied, the reading in noninvasive blood
pressure channel 1 should be below 50. The value in parentheses indicates the actual pressure applied
to the system.
Connect the manometer and the pump with tubing to the noninvasive blood pressure connector
1
on the monitor and to the expansion chamber.
