  How should one read the pressure setting of the Sophy® valve on X-Ray film? Back  
 
  The main pressure settings of the Sophy® adjustable pressure valve can be easily determined both visually and radiographically by means of a standard identification code. From the inlet connector, on the right side of the valve there is a sequence of one, two and three dots corresponding to the 3 main pressure settings.

One dot = Low pressure setting
Two dots = Medium pressure setting
Three dots = High pressure setting

The intermediary pressure settings can be determined by the position of the right micro-magnet in relation to the dots as shown in the pictures aside.
