Introduction
The CuffLink Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Analyzer, hereafter referred to as the
Analyzer, provides accurate and repeatable dynamic blood pressure (BP) waveforms for
evaluation of both semi and fully automated oscillometric non-invasive blood pressure
(NIBP) devices. The Analyzer is shown in Figure 1-1.

To test a device, wrap the BP cuff around the supplied mandrel and insert the cuff adapter
in the pressurized line. All tests are conducted with the BP cuff connected to the system.
The Analyzer can generate BP waveforms for seven adult (oscillometric), five neonate
(oscillometric), and 5 arrhythmias. The different systolic/diastolic pressure gradients
simulate a physiological range of normal, hypotensive, and hypertensive adult or neonate
patients. Actual patient data was used to design the preprogrammed peripheral pulse
waveforms and envelopes.
The Analyzer can produce qualitative measurements of BP cuff pressure and inflate /
deflate timing, as shown in Figure 1-2.
