Table 1-3. Number Key Functions
Number Name Function
1
PRESSURE
LEAK
Pressurizes a pneumatic system to an
operator-defined target pressure up to
400 mmHg (53.3 kPa) and then
measures the loss of pressure over
time.
2
PRESSURE
RELIEF
Increases the pressure in the
pneumatic system until the relief valve
on the NIBP monitor opens or until the
Setpoint is reached, whichever occurs
first.
3
STATIC
PRESSURE
Accessed via the Pressure Gauge
Test, which enables the Tester to
measure static pressure generated by
an external source in the range of 50
to 400 mmHg 6.7 to 53.3 kPa).
4 STANDARD BP
Provides seven variations of NIBP
simulations for both arm and wrist
cuffs.
5
PATIENT
CONDITIONS
Includes simulations for healthy,
geriatric, and obese patients, a well as
various levels of exercise.
6 ARRHYTHMIAS
Measures erratic heart rhythms,
including atrial fibrillation and
premature ventricular contraction.
7
RESPIRATORY
ARTIFACT
Exhibits a beat-to-beat variation in the
blood pressure caused by intrathoracic
pressure.
8 NEONATE
Tests the ability of the NIBP monitors
to detect blood pressure on neonatal
patients.
9 WRIST Tests wrist cuff NIBP monitors.
0 USER DEFINED
Allows the operator to define blood
pressure simulations.
