Accuracy Procedure

To check the accuracy of the monitor:
1. Disconnect the cuff hose from the monitor. Connect the T-tube splitter to the monitor pneu-
matic connector and the sphygmomanometer.
2. Wrap the pressure cuff around the rigid cylinder, and then fasten the cuff. Connect the cuff
hose to the remaining connection on the T-tube splitter. The test setup should appear as
shown in the following fi gures.
3. Press START/STOP on the monitor; the monitor should read approximately 165 mmHg.
Compare the readings on the monitor and the manometer as the pressure bleeds down.
The monitor reading should be within three millimeters or 2% of the manometer reading,
whichever is greater (± the accuracy of the manometer).
Note:
If the monitor pressure values fall outside the allowed tolerance, call your local Service
Representative or Spacelabs Medical for servicing.
At the end of the procedure, the monitor displays an event code indicating that no dynamic
blood pressure measurements were obtained.
4. Disconnect the T-tube splitter from the monitor. Disconnect the air hose and sphygmoma-
nometer.
