9.2.3 Pressure Measuring Test

The test setup is depicted in Fig. Set up of pressure measuring test.
The pressure test checks the pressure chamber, the pressure sensor, and the accur-
acy of the pressure measurement, to ensure that all elements function correctly.
For this test, an inflow tube set and a water-filled container is required. The height
of the water column (hydrostatic pressure) is used to test the pressure transducer.
1. Hang the inflow end of the tube with the tap spikes for the fluid bags into a
container filled with water.
2. Fill the tube end completely with water by running the pump with the Prime
button. Let the pump run until the calibration is complete. Press the Pause/ Re-
sume button to stop the roller wheel. The intrauterine actual pressure display
depicts 0 mmHg.
3. Seal the end of the hysteroscope tube (with finger on the tip of the luer con-
nector).
4. Hold the water level at the end of the hysteroscope tube (h) 30 cm above the
pressure chamber. The water column exerts a hydrostatic pressure on the
pressure transducer.
5. Remove your finger from the end of the hysteroscope tube.
6. The intrauterine actual pressure display should depict 20 mmHg (±5 mmHg).
7. Change the water column height by changing the height of the water filled
end of the tube set. The value depicted on the intrauterine actual pressure dis-
play should change accordingly.
Enter the results into the test log in section Test log [} 56]. The test is successfully
completed when the results are within the permissible tolerance limit.
