 SYSTOLIC AND DIASTOLIC SHIFT – The NIBP-1000 Series is equipped with the option

to shift test results to compensate for different methods of measuring Oscillometric NIBP by

various manufacturers and models of devices under test.

CAUTION

These adjustments must be used with caution as they will

allow the user to adjust the output results to invalid values.

These adjustments should only be used to aid in the

simplification of testing and with documented controls.

There are no absolute standards for Oscillometric NIBP readings; therefore, for a number

of reasons (including patents, technology, etc.), each manufacturer has established a

different method for evaluating the oscillometric pulses. Due to these varying methods,

precisely the same waveforms will give different results on different manufacturer’s units.

The normal technique used is to run the monitor against a fixed source like the NIBP-1000,

with the understanding that each manufacturer has a predictable error from this norm.

While this is generally the most direct method, users have asked for a method to correct

for this difference, making the monitors read the same as the test unit. The Systolic and

Diastolic Shift settings allow for just such correction.

These adjustments are indicated in a line added to the main display to inform the user of

any shift that has been programmed into the system. This is done so there is no

misunderstanding of the meaning of the results.

 OPERATIONS

CONNECTING PRESSURE

The NIBP-1010, NIBP-1020 and NIBP-1030 Blood Pressure Simulators are connected

between the blood pressure cuff and the monitor (Device Under Test, DUT).

The blood pressure cuff should be disconnected from the DUT and a ‘T’ adapter inserted

between the cuff and the DUT. The NIBP simulator is then connected to the open side.

 CONNECTING PATIENT LEADS

For the models with ECG output, test snaps are provided along the sides and are identified

by the markings on the overlay.

IBP CONNECTOR
(NIBP-1030 ONLY)

For the models with IBP output, connect a standard BP test cable (mini-din to monitor

connector) between the NIBP-1030 and the DUT (Device Under Test). The pin-out shown

below for the mini-din is the industry standard configuration that is used on most modern

simulators. As such, there are many existing cables that may be used or you may obtain

the proper cable from BC Group.

17

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 TEMPERATURE CONNECTOR
(NIBP-1030 ONLY)

For the models with Temperature output, connect a standard Temperature test cable (mini-
din to monitor connector) between the NIBP-1030 and the DUT (Device Under Test). The
pin-out is shown below.

AUX CONNECTOR

The Aux connector is used for both serial communications and SpO2. The serial

connection is made using the BC20-41337 cable. The MSP-2100 module plugs directly

into the Aux port and provides the SpO2 function.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 THEORY OF OPERATIONS

NIBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) Function

A digital stepping motor and piston assembly is used to generate the output waveforms. A

differential pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure of the cuff. The pressure

sensor is read by a 16-bit differential Analog to Digital converter.

The cuff pressure is monitored and the motor/piston assembly reacts to provide the correct

response based on the selected mode.

IBP (Invasive Blood Pressure) Function

A 12-bit Digital to Analog converter is used to generate the IBP waveforms. The output

circuit is fully isolated and capable of switching between the two standard sensitivities (5

µV/V/mmHg and 40 µV/V/mmHg).

Temperature

There is an 8-pin mini-DIN plug connector on the right side of the unit for connection of

a Temperature cable. Temperatures are simulated for both YSI 400 and YSI 700 probe

types. There are seven different temperatures selectable for each.

19

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 ECG Function

The ECG output is performed by a 12-bit Digital to Analog converter. All waveforms for the

standard ECG and Arrhythmias are generated via data stored in the program.

Respiration Function

A 12-bit Digital to Analog converter is used to generate the respiration waveform. The

respiration output is present on the LA ECG lead only. Refer to Monitor manual to

determine which lead the Monitor uses for respiration. It may be necessary to reverse the

LA and LL leads for respiration to be detected.

 RUNNING A TEST

Depending on the model, there are up to 9 Basic Test Modes and 3 Sub-Test Modes. This

section will walk through each of the tests and their basic operation.

The Main Tests are accessible with a single key. The key will scroll through the

following tests in a continuous loop:

Adult 120/80
Adult 120/80 w/Pace
Adult High 190/120
Adult Low 80/40
Neonatal 70/40
Alarm Test
Arrhythmia Seq
Leak Test
Manometer

BASIC TEST MODES

NIBP:

The first 5 test modes deal with various NIBP setups. To run an NIBP simulation, the cuff

and monitor are connected to the pressure input. Then the measurement is initiated by the

monitor and the NIBP-1000 unit will output the proper waveform based on the cuff pressure

provided by the monitor and the selected simulation.

The NIBP output mode can be changed by pressing the key. Once the desired

operating mode is selected, the output will automatically begin when the correct pressure is

detected.
