When the X device is connected to a bedside monitor, perform a zero adjustment of the X device before zeroing the bedside monitor.
If the zero adjustment is not performed, the blood pressure values may be wrong. Zero adjustment of the pressure transducer is mandatory.
Before initial calibration you need to ensure that a zero adjustment for the arterial pressure is performed and that the pressure transfer works correctly.
