Abstract

A system for calibrating a blood pressure transducer and monitor combination. The transducer assembly has a calibration resistor. The monitor cable has a housing which contains a switch and a shunt resistor. Electrical connections are provided to place the calibration resistor and shunt resistor in series with each other and in shunt across one leg of a transducer bridge to produce a reading of 100 mmHg on the monitor.
