Hello
when you do check with the syringe should be borne in mind the following:
The measures taken have to be converted to BTPS conditions (Body Temperature and Pressure Saturated). This means that you can measure at least the room temperature and atmospheric pressure to calculate the BTPS factor.
Ever happened to me make calibrations without this conversion and then had the patient's values ​​wrong.
You have here a link to calculate the BTPS factor
