- Y Connector Test Kit
- For Use With: Baumanometer Instrument, Pressure Measurement
- Applications: Y Connector
- Your goal is to test instrument accuracy, not the process of blood pressure measurement. You will need a Baumanometer® instrument (mercury-gravity standard) and a “Y” connector with an inflation bulb and valve attached (see below for Test Kit ordering information). Connect one leg to the Baumanometer® instrument and the other to the blood pressure instrument to be tested
- Note
- Cuffs and Bags are not used when conducting this test Test Procedure: Check each instrument to be sure that it is at zero. Slowly inflate the instruments to 250 mmHg and compare the readings. They should be the same, however a deviation of +/- 3 mmHg is acceptable. Repeat this procedure at 200 mmHg, 150 mmHg, 100 mmHg, 50 mmHg and 0 mmHg. If the deviation is greater than +/- 3 mmHg at any of these points, the instrument being tested is inaccurate and needs adjustment or repair.
