3.3.1 Checking of NIBP Calibration
The following section describes how to verify the NIBP calibration on a DINAMAP
Monitor. Refer also to the next section for details on re-calibration of a DINAMAP
Checking of NIBP calibration is possible without disassembling the DINAMAP
I.
Set up the DINAMAP
II.
Switch on the DINAMAP
III.
Verify that the calibration pressure measurement system reads 0 mmHg (0 mBar)
IV. If the DINAMAP
Reboot the DINAMAP
V.
Select the " Mode" button from the main menu. The Mode menu will be displayed
VI. Select the " Service" button from the mode menu
VII. Enter the Service Mode PIN code, 2 2 1 3. The Service menu will be displayed.
VIII. Select " NIBP" from the service menu. The NIBP Service menu will be displayed.
IX. Select " Check" from the NIBP service menu.
X.

XI. Check calibration of the DINAMAP
200mmHg (267mBar) applied pressure using a reference pressure measurement system.
