Each transducer is calibrated at the factory and does not require any on-site calibration by the user - it's simply to Plug'n'Play!
The Samba Preclin transducer is available in four different pressure measurements ranges; one low pressure and three high pressure versions (see below).
The Samba Preclin transducers are not approved for human use.
