4-19
Over-Pressure
Test
This test verifies the functionality of the over-pressure relief system of the monitor.
Step Action
1 Turn the simulator on.
2 Perform the following sequence:
a. Press the Home button.
b. Press the Pressure Tests button.
c. Press the Pressure Relief button.
d. Press the Setup button.
e. Press 3, 3, 5, then Enter.
3 Confirm that the simulator is active and displays "Relief Valve Test".
4Press the Volume button to ensure that both valves are closed.
5 Perform an offset adjustment so that the simulator and monitor both display a
pressure of 0 mmHg or kPa by doing the following:
a. Press the Contrast button on the monitor’s front panel.
b. If needed, zero the simulator (see “To Zero the Simulator” on page 4-16).
6Press the Start button on the simulator. The peak value (X4) shown on the
simulator should be between 270 mmHg and 330 mmHg (35.9 kPa and 43.9
kPa). The pressure should return to 0 automatically on the monitor and
simulator). Both conditions should be true for the monitor to pass this test.
7 If no further NBP tests are to be conducted, turn the monitor Off. Normal
monitoring operation returns the next time the monitor is turned On.
