Prying the finger clip sensor to an angle greater than 90° can permanently damage its
casing.
Checking the Calibration of Your Device
It is recommended that you check the BP calibration of your ADview once a year. To check calibration:
1. Start with the device powered off. While holding down the automatic button on the front of
the BP module, toggle on the power button on the right side of the main enclosure. The “CAL”
message is displayed in the pulse rate display to indicate that the system is in the calibration
mode. During this mode, the system pressure displays in the systolic BP display area.
2. Using a T-connector, connect a calibrated pressure reference and control, such as a manometer
and inflation bulb, to the pressure hose connector of the ADview. Contact ADC customer support
for details on ordering the calibration kit which includes a T-connector.
3. Compare the pressure reference to the ADview throughout the pressure range, 0 to 270mmHg. If
the difference between the pressure reference and the ADview is no larger than 2mmHg, the
ADview is calibrated correctly for operation. If the ADview needs calibrating, contact an
authorized service center on page 44.
4. Exit the calibration check by pressing the automatic button again. Once the display shows
dashes as the systolic BP, you are now ready to take a measurement.
It is recommended that you check the temperature calibration of your ADview temperature module
annually. A Calibration Plug (see page 58 for details) is available to check accuracy of the technology. It
replaces the regular probe and verifies the accuracy of the temperature electronics. Replace the
temperature module if error is greater than +/-0.1 C. To check the calibration:
1. Remove the Temperature Well from the Temperature Module.
2. Replace the Temperature Probe with the Calibration Plug.
3. Replace the Temperature Well.
4. Initiate a measurement by inserting and removing the Temperature probe from the well.
5. Verify the accuracy of the measurement.
Probe accuracy can be checked by using the thermometer as you would on a patient in any mode with a
cover, but place it in a calibrated water bath. Direct mode is accurate to +/- 0.1 C of the calibrated water
bath temperature. Predictive mode accuracy is accurate to +/- 0.2 C of the calibrated water bath
temperature.
Replacing the Rechargeable Battery
Replace the battery:
• According to your regular maintenance schedule.
• When the battery no longer charges.
• After heavy use, if necessary.
