NIBP Calibration
Equipment Required:
# CAT #1320 kit, which includes: NIBP Service Program (pn 97082A003, Rev. 2)
# PC computer configured for use with CSI Service Software
# 8100 serial download cable, CAT #1320 (pn 90840A004)
# 700cc dummy cuff
# ESD protected workbench
# Digital reference manometer
# Dynatech Nevada NIBP Analyzer
Installing the PC Service Program
The NIBP Service Program is provided on a self-installing CD ROM disk (pn 97082A003, Rev. 2). If the CD ROM does not run automatically you may need to click on the CD ROM icon. Run the auto-installation disk. The program NIBPSvc.exe will be loaded into the Program Files directory. The new folders CSI\Tools will be created. A launch icon will also be placed on the desktop of the computer.
Configuring the Ports
The Service Program is designed to operate using a serial COM1, COM3 or COM4 port. If your computer uses USB ports instead of a serial port an adapter will be required. The following adapters are recommended:
# IOmega USB to Serial/PDA Converter Cable (GUC232A)
# Keyspan USB Serial Adapter (USA-19HS)
If COM1, COM3 or COM 4 is not available as a free port, the ports will need to be reconfigured in the computer’s device manager. Go to Control Panel\System\Hardware and select Device Manager. Select Ports and reassign the alternate port or the USB to Serial Adapter to COM1, COM3 or COM 4. For laptops using a USB adapter, select COM4 or an alternate COM port as necessary.
Calibration
1. Connect a serial download cable (P/N 90840A004) from the PC serial port to “COM2” (J10 on the Main Board).
2. Open the service tool on the computer. Select Start > Programs > CSI NIBP Service > NIBPSvc. Close the disclaimer dialogue box.
3. Select COM1 for the port and select 8100 Integrated NIBP for the model. Click on OK.
4. Click on Connection and select Open in Service Mode.
5. Press the nGenuity 8100E monitor ON/OFF key to start the monitor.
6. Connect a 700cc dummy cuff and manometer to the NIBP fitting on the unit.
7. Click on the Calibrate button to calibrate the NIBP module.
8. A box prompting you to attach the digital manometer and dummy cuff will appear. Verify that the pressure at the cuff is “0mmHg” ±2mmHg. Click Next.
9. Verify that the pressure at the cuff is “0mmHg” ±2mmHg. If the pressure is not ±2mmHg of zero, the main board must be replaced. Click Next.
10.Check the cuff pressure as indicated on the service screen of the computer with the pressure indicated on the digital manometer. The cuff pressure should be within ±0.5 mmHg of each other. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the gain unit until the pressures match each other. Click Finish.
11.A window will appear on the screen indicating that data is being stored.
12.A Positive Confirmation message will appear. Click Done.
Temperature Input Check
1. Connect the temperature simulator (TP400) to the TEMP connector.
2. Verify the Temperature on the display is within ±0.1 C for temperature simulator settings of 20, 25, 30, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 45C.
3. Disconnect the Temperature simulator from the TEMP CONNECTOR and verify that the Temperature on the display is "---. -". Verify TEMP INVALID appears on the display.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for temperature simulator (TP700).
5. Switch off the power. Disconnect all cables
Main Board Testing
Test the following conditions without batteries in the monitor.
1. Connect a 15.3VDC 3A power supply to connector PS2 on the Main Board.
2. Insert an ammeter inline at PS1 on the Main Board.
3. Verify the quiescent current (the power is applied, but the power control is in the OFF state) is less than 1ma. This quiescent current decreases to less than 1ma in a very short period of time. This must be done at the Battery connector. Remove the ammeter.
4. Connect a speaker to J20 on the Main Board.
5. Connect a membrane switch to J7 on the Main Board.
6. Attach a menu knob to the main board at J8 on the Main Board.
7. Verify that the monitor turns on after pressing the ON/OFF key, and that the following voltages are present:
