Turn the respiratory pressure meter on to the SNIP position.
Very slowly fill the syringe until a negative pressure of between 200
and 300cm is obtained on the manometer.
Check that the reading on the respiratory pressure meter is within 3%
of the manometer reading.
If adjustment is required then the following procedure must be
followed.
