Figure 15-6 IBP Calibration Menu
Calibrate the transducer:
Turn the knob to select the item CH1 CAL VALUE, press and turn the knob to select the pressure value to be
calibrated for channel 1. Then turn the knob to select the item CALIBRATE to start calibrating channel 1.
Turn the knob to select the item CH2 CAL VALUE, press and turn the knob to select the pressure value to be
calibrated for channel 2. Then turn the knob to select the item CALIBRATE to start calibrating channel 2.

Figure 15-7 IBP Calibration
Caution
• Mercury calibration should be performed by the biomedical engineering department either whenever a new
transducer is used, or as frequently as dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy.
• The purpose of the calibration is to ensure that the system gives you accurate measurements.
• Before starting a mercury calibration, a zero procedure must be performed.
• If you need to perform this procedure yourself you will need the following pieces of equipment:
1. Standard sphygmomanometer
2. 3-way stopcock
3. Tubing approximately 25 cm long
• The Calibration Procedure: (SEE Figure Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata.-10)
Warning
• You must never perform this procedure while patient is being monitored.
1. Close the stopcock that was open to atmospheric pressure for the zero calibration.
2. Attach the tubing to the sphygmomanometer.
3. Ensure that connection that would lead to patient is off.
4. Connect the 3-way connector to the 3-way stopcock that is not connected to the patient catheter.
5. Open the port of the 3-way stopcock to the sphygmomanometer.
