Chapter 17
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure
(NIBP) Module
In this chapter you learn about using the
medTester 5000C to control non-invasive blood pressure
(NIBP) autosequence tests with a Fluke Biomedical
NIBP analyzer, what these tests are, and how to use them.
NIBP Autosequences
By installing the NIBP module in your medTester 5000C, you have the
capability of using a set of 10 autosequences for testing NIBP monitors using
the Fluke Biomedical CuffLink NIBP analyzer to collect test data. The Fluke
Biomedical CuffLink connects to the COM2 or designated wedge port on
your medTester which then lets you test the NIBP monitors that are on the
market today and store test measurements in the medTester 5000C for
printout or upload to your equipment management system.
To install the NIBP module, you must first have installed the required
prerequisite modules: RS-232/Printer, 100 Records, Expanded Memory, and
Data Transfer.
When you connect the CuffLink to your medTester and run NIBP
autosequences, the medTester displays prompts for your NIBP setup and
testing and then executes the prescribed tests. The CuffLink returns
measurement readings to the medTester, which displays them for you. If you
have the medTester 5000C RS-232/Printer module and the Memory module,
you can store and print test records.
Having the NIBP module also offers you the ability to incorporate these
autosequences into checklists if your medTester 5000C has the medCheck
module installed.
