compensation range, or a change in circuit configuration, we recommend you check
the calibration and adjust as required.
Note: Some countries require all medical equipment to have a periodic service and
calibration. Please check the regulations in your country.

To check the calibration of the flow generator:
1. In the Clinical Menu, set the CPAP pressure setting to 12 cm H
2. Measure the pressure at the mask using an accurate manometer. If the delivered
pressure is less than 11.5 cm H
recalibrate the flow generator.
