Never performing cals is asking for trouble no matter what system is being used. You need to do cals on all DC/digital devices every once in a while just so you know everything is working correctly. Out of Sight, Out of Mind is never a good thing. Salespeople are there to sell the product, not to detect and solve a problem down the road. How would you know three years from now if the electronic components on the circuit board have finally fell "out of tolerance" and the SaO2 gets slightly skewed? You may never know it without performing cals.
