Page 23
SYSTOLIC AND DIASTOLIC SHIFT – The NIBP-1000 Series is equipped with the option to shift test results to compensate for different methods of measuring Oscillometric NIBP by various manufacturers and models of devices under test. CAUTION These adjustments must be used with caution as they will allow the user to adjust the output results to invalid values.
OPERATIONS CONNECTING PRESSURE The NIBP-1010, NIBP-1020 and NIBP-1030 Blood Pressure Simulators are connected between the blood pressure cuff and the monitor (Device Under Test, DUT). The blood pressure cuff should be disconnected from the DUT and a ‘T’ adapter inserted between the cuff and the DUT.
CONNECTING PATIENT LEADS For the models with ECG output, test snaps are provided along the sides and are identified by the markings on the overlay. IBP CONNECTOR (NIBP-1030 ONLY) For the models with IBP output, connect a standard BP test cable (mini-din to monitor connector) between the NIBP-1030 and the DUT (Device Under Test).
TEMPERATURE CONNECTOR (NIBP-1030 ONLY) For the models with Temperature output, connect a standard Temperature test cable (mini- din to monitor connector) between the NIBP-1030 and the DUT (Device Under Test). The pin-out is shown below. AUX CONNECTOR The Aux connector is used for both serial communications and SpO The serial connection is made using the BC20-41337 cable.
THEORY OF OPERATIONS NIBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) Function A digital stepping motor and piston assembly is used to generate the output waveforms. A differential pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure of the cuff. The pressure sensor is read by a 16-bit differential Analog to Digital converter. The cuff pressure is monitored and the motor/piston assembly reacts to provide the correct response based on the selected mode.
Page 28
ECG Function The ECG output is performed by a 12-bit Digital to Analog converter. All waveforms for the standard ECG and Arrhythmias are generated via data stored in the program. Respiration Function A 12-bit Digital to Analog converter is used to generate the respiration waveform. The respiration output is present on the LA ECG lead only.
RUNNING A TEST Depending on the model, there are up to 9 Basic Test Modes and 3 Sub-Test Modes. This section will walk through each of the tests and their basic operation. The Main Tests are accessible with a single key. The key will scroll through the following tests in a continuous loop: Adult 120/80...
Page 30
There are 5 selectable NIBP Basic Test Modes; Adult, Adult w/pace, Adult High, Adult Low and Neonatal. The displays will resemble the following examples: NOTE: The screens for the first test will have the individual components labeled. The component labels for subsequent tests are the same. Adult 120/80 (Typical Screens) PEAK PRESSURE...

ALARM TEST: Use the key to cycle through the Test Modes until Alarm Test appears. The purpose of this function is to help test the alarms of the monitor under test. The ECG output will alternate from a 47 BPM NSR with apnea respiration (0 brpm) to 160 BPM NSR with 80 brpm respiration.
Page 34
ARRHYTHMIA SEQUENCE: (NIBP-1030 Only) Use the key to cycle through the Test Modes until Arrhythmia Sequence appears. The purpose of this function is to provide a timed sequence of some of the more common Arrhythmias. The test will continually cycle through the 6 arrhythmias in the sequence listed below.
Page 35
LEAK TEST: (NIBP-1030 Only) Use the key to cycle through the Test Modes until Leak Test appears. The purpose of this function is to provide a standard pressure leak test. The pressure input is connected to the system that is to be monitored. Pressure is then applied to the system. The Leak Test is initiated by pressing the key.
Page 36
MANOMETER: Use the key to cycle through the Test Modes until Manometer appears. The purpose of this function is to allow the unit to be used strictly as a Manometer with a full scale range of +/- 500 mmHg. NOTE: The Graphic Screens are also available in this mode for maximum flexibility The displays will resemble the following examples: (Typical Screens) PEAK PRESSURE PRESSURE...
Page 37
SUB TEST MODES PEAK: (Optional) The optional Peak test feature is available whenever the display is in a pressure mode. It will continuously monitor the pressure input and display and hold the maximum value. This value may be reset at any time by pressing the key.
Page 38
ECG PERFORMANCE TEST: (NIBP-1020 & NIBP-1030) The ECG output is selected by pressing until the ECG Waveforms menu is displayed. The key is used to choose the desired ECG output. There are 16 fixed waveforms available. NOTE: While in this mode, the NIBP simulation is disabled, but the IBP simulation is active (NIBP-1030 only).
Page 39
DYNAMIC IBP: (NIBP-1030 Only) The IBP output matches the NIBP setting in the NIBP mode or the ECG setting in the ECG Waveform mode. NOTE: The IBP sensitivity (5 µV/V/mmHg or 40 µV/V/mmHg) must be correctly selected in the SETUP Mode before using IBP. (See Setup section for more information.) STATIC IBP: (NIBP-1030 Only) A static Blood Pressure output may be selected in the SETUP mode.
Page 40
TEMPERATURE SIMULATION: (NIBP-1030 Only) The temperature setting can be selected in the SETUP mode. This fixed value will remain on the Temperature output until changed. The output will simulate both YSI 400 and YSI 700 Temperature probes. NOTE: Both outputs are available at the output connector simultaneously.
