The Analyzer also offers automated leak testing of NIBP monitors. An internal pump
pressurizes the NIBP system under test. Press a key to initiate a 60 second leak test once
the desired pressure is reached. Use the Analyzer’s digital manometer instead of a
mercury column for doing pressure measurements. The Analyzer facilitates overpressure
testing of NIBP monitors by automatically detecting and displaying the overpressure
point.
Standard Features
The Analyzer has the following standard features:
• Dynamic oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure simulation
• Automated static pressure measurements, leakage testing, and relief-valve testing
• Five automated NIBP testing autosequences
• Five arrhythmia selections
• Adult and neonatal NIBP selections
• Direct interface with medTester 5000C
• Adjustable heart rate values
• Calendar clock with battery backup
• Internal PCB expansion slot
New Features (Firmware Revision 3.0 and Later)
Firmware revision 3.0 included the following additions and updates, including a set of
adult arrhythmias, an internal pump, and additions to pressure testing.
Arrhythmias
The Analyzer features five new arrhythmias to test NIBP monitors in the presence of
typical patient arrhythmias. These clinically derived simulations are representations of
the peripheral pulse, as seen by an oscillometric NIBP monitor.
Each arrhythmia is generated on a random basis throughout the entire pressure curve
cycle. The variations in pulse timing and amplitude are relatively small.
