standard system is less than 5 mmHg.
8. From the NIBP Test control panel, use the navigation keys to select Close Valve.

Note: Note: The pump will automatically turn off if pressure exceeds 310 mmHg during this
test.
Acceptable Results
The unit passes the test if the time to increase pressure to 210 mmHg is less than 7 seconds.
Corrective Action
If the unit fails the test, the most likely cause is a faulty pump or a kinked internal hose. The
device needs to be disassembled to replace the pump or reposition the appropriate segment of
NIBP tubing.
