Operation Introduction Introduction The Tester contains a microprocessor that reads and controls the front panel keyboard, the display, serial port, printer port, a diaphragm pump, two solenoid valves, a step motor, a position sensor, and a pressure transducer (Figure 3-1). Filter Check Valve N.C.
BP Pump 2 Operators Manual shape of the pulses are controlled by the microprocessor driving the step motor. The home position of the piston is detected by an optical interrupter. If the optional high-accuracy pressure sensor is installed, it also measures the pressure in the main manifold and is also controlled by the microprocessor.

BP Pump 2 Operators Manual Respiratory Artifacts The Respiratory Artifact exhibits a beat-to-beat variation in the blood pressure caused by intra-thoracic pressure. Changes in the intra-thoracic pressure affect filling of the ventricles during diastole. This in turn affects the stroke volume of the heart.

Appendix B Questions and Answers Introduction The following are questions submitted by customers and answered by members of our technical staff. Blood Pressure Issues Q: Monitor's BP determinations vary. “I connected the Tester to my Critikon DINAMAP monitor and used the preset blood pressure of 120/80 (93) with a pulse rate of 80 beats per minute.
Page 72
BP Pump 2 Operators Manual “The mean difference of the paired measurements of the test system and the comparison system shall be ± 5 mmHg or less with a standard deviation of 8 mmHg or less.” This means that variations in individual readings of 5, 6, or even 10 mmHg are quite normal and do not indicate that either the DINAMAP or the Tester are malfunctioning.

Appendices Questions and Answers mean pressures. Further, its compliance is constant over time and is independent of cuff wrapping technique. The compliance of a standard cuff depends on the amount of air it contains. This, in turn, is dependent on what the cuff is wrapped around, and how tightly it is wrapped.
