22.0 NIBP Monitor Test
The NIBP monitor test verifies the repeatability of the systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure measurements, as
well as the patient pulse rate calculation.
Tools Needed: Fluke NIBP simulator (the values and procedure that we provide are specific to the BP Pump 2).
Note: The primary propose of an NIBP simulator is to reproduce a pressure profile similar to a live patient to be
used for testing t h e repeatability and functionality of the system. There are many different NIBP simulators on
the market, each manufacturer uses a different method to develop their algorithm. Consequently, readings from
different simulators may vary. To test for repeatability, you should first establish the offset
1 of your simulator. The
offset value should then be used to determine the expected values. NIBP simulators cannot be used as a source for
testing the accuracy of the non-invasive blood pressure measurements of devices such as the ZOLL M Series
monitor/defibrillator.
Test Setup: Connect the Analyzer’s simulator hose to the NIBP connector on the M Series unit.
Set the following parameters on the NIBP Analyzer: 2
Make sure the ECG cable is not connected to the M Series unit.
If the SpO2 option is installed, make sure that the Masimo cable is NOT connected to the M Series unit.
1 NIBP Simulators may produce a reading on the NIBP monitor that is shifted from the simulator's setting. The offset value must be
established based on a statistical sample of monitors and readings. Please contact ZOLL Technical Support if you require assis-
tance establishing the offset of the simulator and test set-up that you are utilizing.
2 If you are using the Fluke® BiomedicalCuftlink, you must change the shift value of the Blood Pressure Envelope to +3 on the Pres-
sure Curve Adjust Menu.
3 Not all simulators have a setting of 93mmHg. Check the simulators user's manual for recommendations.
