Calibration Check of Aneroid Sphygmomanometer
Quick Check of Calibration:
At zero pressure, make certain the pointer is within the zero range on the dial. Although an
unpressurized reading of zero does not guarantee accuracy at all scale points, failure of the pointer to
indicate zero (± 3 mmHg) is an obvious sign of error.
Full Check of Calibration:
A full check of calibration is recommended at least every two years or according to local law:
1. Connect the instrument under test to a high quality, known pressure standard and a 150 to 500 cc
test volume using a T-connector.
