AMI 9700 Calibration Quick Reference
The entire calibration process may take up to 15 minutes. You may calibrate your instrument as often as you like; you do not have to wait for the next scheduled calibration date. However, at a minimum, you must calibrate the instrument every 12 months. Note: The ScanPointTM application with QuickPrint feature is required to calibrate your instrument online. Online calibration is not supported by ScanPointTM LC.
Prepare for Calibration Set up the calibration tank in a location that is within 10 feet of the Battery Charger/Wireless Hub. Place the calibration tank on a flat, nonreflective surface and remove the lid. Pour clean, room temperature water into the container, filling to the indicator mark. Make sure the water contains a minimal amount of bubbles. Place the spiralshaped target in the container, using the notches to position target correctly. Replace the lid on the calibration container.
Place the probe Place the Probe in the cutout in the top of the calibration tank. Make sure the black tip of the Probe is submerged in the water.
Open the QuickPrint feature From your desktop, open the ScanPointTM application by double-clicking the ScanPointTM/QuickPrint icon.

A Critical Measure of Patient Health
Calibrate instrument From the Tools menu, select Calibrate Instrument. When the Calibration screen opens, click the CALIBRATE button. The ScanPointTM application then automatically scans and analyzes the calibration target.
Calibrate
IMPORTANT! Do not remove the Probe from the calibration chamber until four arrows appear on the Probe’s LCD screen. Do not disconnect the Charger and Wireless Hub from the computer or otherwise break the connection between the AMI 9700 instrument and the ScanPoint® host computer until all processing is complete.
Successful calibration If the ScanPointTM application was able to locate the calibration target, the instrument analyzes the scan data to ensure that it meets the calibration parameters. If necessary, the instrument automatically rescans the phantom. When calibration is complete, a ‘Calibration Successful’ message is displayed on your computer. To print a record of the calibration, click: Click Here for Printable Certificate of Calibration.
Failed calibration If the ScanPointTM application was unable to locate the calibration target, it displays an error message and instructs you to ensure that the calibration chamber has enough water and that the Probe is seated properly in the calibration system. You may choose to calibrate again or to quit the calibration process. NOTE: If you are unable to calibrate, contact your local Verathon Medical representative or Verathon Medical Customer Care at 1.800.331.2313.
End calibration To terminate the calibration procedure and end communication with the ScanPointTM application, press the CANCEL (X) button on the AMI 9700 instrument. Remove the Probe from the calibration chamber lid and dry it with a clean, soft cloth. To order additional rolls of paper (0800-0319) or batteries (0400-0066), contact Customer Care at 800.331.2313.
