Leak Testing
The
Leak Test
option allows testing of NIBP equipment, including cuff and tubing, for
air leaks.
Note
If the NIBP device has an internal system leak test or one that vents the
cuff inflation pneumatic circuit to the atmosphere when idle, do not use
the Leak Test option. Rather, use the Manometer option to check for
internal system leaks. Refer to the NIBP monitor operators manual for the
recommended test protocol.
To test for pressure leaks in the NIBP test system:
1. From the
Press
submenu, highlight
Leak Test
and press the
Ent
key. The
Leak
