Although it's recommended that you have your Gaeltec Pressure Catheters fully calibrated by Gaeltec every 1-2 years, we also recommend that end users themselves calibrate their Gaeltec Pressure Catheter as often as possible to guarantee they get the best results from their catheters, the CA-1 Calibration Tube makes this quick and easy.
Tightening the collet on this device will seal around the Gaeltec pressure catheter and using the male luer fitting a connection can be made to a reference pressure, such as a mercury manometer. The output of the transducer and amplifier system can be reliably and quickly confirmed.
