GENERAL OVERVIEW SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The heart of the Blood Pressure Calibration Kit is a Digimano 1000 series Pressure Meter. The Digimano 1000 is a portable digital instrument designed to measure the pressure and vacuum of non-corrosive fluids and gases. The versatile instrument presents its measurement results in one of two engineering units on a large 3 _ digit LCD display.

Sphygmomanometer Syringe Pressure Applicator Figure 2 TYPICAL CALIBRATION SET UP Place the cuff in a rigid enclosure such as a tin can. Using the inflation bulb pump unit to 200 mmHG and hold. Pressure should remain steady. If it does not stay steady go to Section 3 and use the same technique to determine where the system is leaking.
By turning the fine adjustment knob apply three values such as 50, 150 300 plus zero. Ensure that both the sphygmomanometer and digital pressure meter read within 3 mmHG of each other.

Do not readjust zero using the zero adjust on the digital meter, zero can only be adjusted when the unit is open to atmosphere. Maintaining A Steady Pressure Reading If the sphygmomanometer and the digital pressure meter will not stay steady your calibration set up is leaking.
