Calibrating SphygmoCor XCEL
Warning: The SphygmoCor XCEL System requires annual calibration. Failure to do so may result in the
device being out of specification. This may result in inaccurate measurements.
When calibration is due, the following message will appear in the SphygmoCor XCEL application:
Note: The SphygmoCor XCEL device will continue to take measurements even though the calibration
period has expired.
2 options are available for completing calibration:
1- Contact your distributor or AtCor Medical to arrange for your SphygmoCor XCEL to be returned
for calibration.
2- Purchase a Calibration Kit. Contact your distributor or AtCor Medical for further information.
SphygmoCor XCEL Calibration Kit Operating Instructions
Intended Use
The SphygmoCor XCEL Calibration Kit calibrates the SphygmoCor XCEL Device by providing a rigid 1/2L

indication in mmHg and resolution of 1mmHg shall be used with the SphygmoCor XCEL Calibration Kit.
The SphygmoCor XCEL Calibration Kit is intended to be used by medical professionals and biomedical
service personnel.
Warning: The aneroid Sphygmomanometer or manometer that will be used to calibrate the
SphygmoCor XCEL, must be calibrated prior to calibrating the SphygmoCor XCEL device.
