ABSTRACT:
A blood flow calibration system500including a computer400operable to determine and store calibration data for a flow meter124, a test system530operable to simulate blood flow for the flow meter124, thereby allowing the computer400to determine the calibration data, and a programmer300operable to transfer the calibration data from the computer400to the flow meter124. The flow meter124preferably includes a power management circuit348a,b operable to detect whether the flow meter124is powered. In the event that the flow meter124is unpowered, the power management circuit348a,b is preferably able to supply power to a portion of the flow meter124in order to transfer the calibration data thereto.
