If there is no drop in pressure and the pressure climbs to the target pressure, the pump
stops and Not Tripped shows in the display.
Note
Some NIPB monitors do not let you access a “Service” mode. If you can
not close the vent valve, the system can not be pressurized by an external
pump. It is possible to start a blood pressure measurement with the monitor
(this closes the valve), then start the Pressure Relief tests, so that two
pumps inflate the system. The results can change, but the monitor usually
opens a relief valve at some high pressure.

How to Do a Pressure Source Test
The pressure source test is used to pressurize a pneumatic system while it measures the
pressure. This can be used for static calibration of non-invasive blood pressure
measurement systems, sphygmomanometer checks, and other devices that measure
pressure.
To do a pressure source test:
1. Connect the pressure port to pressure system as shown in Figure 42.
