The pressure bag is usually set at 300mmHg to ensure a continuous forward infusion flow into the artery at 3-4ml/hr. This prevents clotting, air emboli or blockage, thus dampening our arterial tracing. Higher pressures calibration may for below sea level? Not certain.

what is the purpose of the higher pressure callibration ?
