What Are the Steps Involved in Calibrating Pediatric Instruments?
The calibration process typically involves the following steps:
Inspection: Examine the instrument for any visible signs of damage or wear and tear. Baseline Measurement: Take a baseline measurement using a reference standard to compare against the instrument's readings. Adjustment: Adjust the instrument to match the reference standard if discrepancies are found. Documentation: Record the calibration results, including any adjustments made and the date of calibration. Verification: Verify the accuracy of the instrument by taking additional measurements and comparing them to the reference standard.
