Pressure testing: cuff leak never raises an alarm

Execution guide to IEC 80601-2-30 and 60601-2-34. Leak distorts the oscillation curve and drives wrong readings with no warning, and it almost always lives in the cuff, not the monitor.

  • Leak: at least 30 s, rate below 15 mmHg/min
  • Depressurization on power-off: 30 s to ≤ 1.5 mmHg (≤ 5 mmHg neonatal)
  • Execution sheet with points by mode, adult and neonatal

The technical basis connects leak: at least 30 s, rate below 15 mmhg/min with depressurization on power-off: 30 s to ≤ 1.5 mmhg (≤ 5 mmhg neonatal), so the material supports an auditable decision instead of a generic checklist.
