-- Note --
From this point, the timing is critical.
It is recommended to read through
the following steps before proceeding.
IX. Select “Cal” from the NIBP service menu.
X. The DINAMAP*
Compact
requests that the pressure be set to 0 mmHg. No action should
be necessary other than to verify that the calibration pressure measurement system still
displays 0 mmHg (0 mBar).
XI. Approximately 6 seconds later, the DINAMAP*
Compact
bleeps and prompts for the
pressure to be set to 200 mmHg. Apply the pressure (200 mmHg or 267 mBar) and HOLD
the pressure.
XII. Approximately 12 seconds after prompting for 200 mmHg, the DINAMAP*
Compact
will
bleep 3 times, then it will vent the system to atmosphere. Immediately before it vents, it
takes a pressure reading. This reading and the zero reading are the only points used for
calibration, so it is important to ensure that the correct pressures are applied at these two
points.
XIII. After venting to atmosphere, the DINAMAP*
Compact
will display either “Calibration
Complete” or “Calibration Failed”.
XIV. If the calibration failed, turn off the DINAMAP*
Compact
, check the equipment set up and
repeat the process. Refer to service if calibration is still unsuccessful.
If the calibration was successful, the DINAMAP*
Compact
will enter its “Failsafe Alarm” mode. The
DINAMAP*
Compact
has now been calibrated and can be switched off.
Check calibration of unit by repeating section 3.3.1.
3.3.3 NIBP Pop Off Checking
The following section describes how to verify the pressure at which the DINAMAP*
Compact
“Overpressure” detection system prevents further cuff inflation and generates an alarm.
Neonate Mode
I. Switch on the DINAMAP*
Compact
and wait for the main menu to be displayed on the
LCD.
II. Select the “Mode” button from the main menu. The Mode menu will be displayed.
III. Select the “Service” button from the mode menu. The service entry panel will be
displayed.
IV. Enter the Super Service Mode PIN code, 8 3 7 8. This will display the super service
main menu.
V. Select NIBP from the super service main menu.
VI. Select VSEN from sub menu followed by VAL2.
VII. Connect calibration kit to the DINAMAP*
Compact
as shown on page 35.
VIII. Inflate system and observe the calibration pressure measurement system - the pressure
will be seen to rise and, at the “Pop Off Pressure”, will immediately deflate.
IX. Verify that the maximum pressure, as shown on the calibration pressure measurement
system , was in the range 150-165 mmHg (200-220mBar) and that the system pressure
falls to less than 20mmHg (26.6mBar) within 4 seconds.
X. Switch off unit.
