23.0 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 E Series monitor/defibrillator.
Test Setup:
1. Connect the Analyzer’s simulator hose to the NIBP connector on the E Series unit.
2. Set the following parameters on the NIBP Analyzer: 2
Parameter Value
3. Make sure the ECG cable is not connected to the E Series unit.
4. If the SpO2 option is installed, make sure that the Masimo cable is NOT connected to the E 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 statis-
tical sample of monitors and readings. Please contact ZOLL Technical Support if you require assistance 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 Pressure Curve Adjust Menu.

Not all simulators have a setting of 93mmHg. Check the simulators user's manual for recommendations.
Systolic pressure 120 mmHg
Diastolic pressure 80 mmHg
Mean pressure 93 mmHg 3
Heart pressure 80 bpm
