METROlOGICAl INSpECTION
The accuracy ±2 cmH
required measuring equipment is not available, the metrological control can be carried out by
the manufacturer. In this case the Cuff Pressure Gauge has to be sent to the manufacturer.
If there is an indication that the Cuff Pressure Gauge cannot keep the accuracy of measure-
ment within the 24 months, or the metrological characteristics of the Cuff Pressure Gauge
have been affected, a metrological control has to be carried out immediately. This has to
be carried out only by a person who meets the requirements for metrological controls. The
results of the control, as well as the measured values and measurement procedures has to
be documented.
After successful control, the Cuff Pressure Gauge has to be marked with a sign which indicates
(clearly and traceable) the year of the next inspection and the person who carried out the
metrological control.
In order to check the values, the Luer nozzle of the Cuff Pressure Gauge has to be connected
to a calibrated pressure gauge (measurement inaccuracy max. ±0.6 cmH
Afterwards inflate via the inflation bulb to 30, 60 and 90 cmH
values must be within the indicated tolerance. If this is not the case, the device must be
returned to the service of the manufacturer. If the values are within the tolerance, the device
can still be used.
