CuffLink nibp simulator

The CuffLink Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) Analyzer offers a quick, reliable, and consistent way to evaluate the operation and performance of oscil-lometric NIBP signals. With user-programmable selections, the CuffLink will simulate the full range or normal, hypertensive, and hypotensive dynamic NIBP waveforms repre-senting typical adult, infant, and neonatal patients. The analyzer can also generate normal, brady-cardia, and tachycardia rhythm selections with a wide range of weak, normal, and strong peripheral pulses. A variety of parameters allow creation and storage of five custom autosequences within the unit. In addition to the programmable blood-pres-sure target values, these autosequences can include static pressure, leak, and over-pressure relief valve â€Üpop-offâ€Ý tests. CuffLink features an internal compressor, auto-mating the static pressure measurements, leak testing, and relief-valve testing. Setting and adjusting cuff pressure levels is easy and provides consistent cuff-inflation levels for the tests.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change just the systolic or just the diastolic blood pressure reading by using the SHIFT function?

No, when you use the SHIFT function in the CuffLink you are moving the entire pressure envelope waveform thereby changing both the systolic and diastolic pressures at the same time. You can not change just one of the pressures.

Can the CuffLink simulate blood pressure using a wrist cuff?

No, the CuffLink can simulate neonate and adult blood pressures but not wrist cuff pressures.

I have set the CuffLink to perform 120/80 simulation but my monitor reads only 116/78. Why is the monitor not showing 120/80?

Non invasive blood pressure monitor manufactures use what is called algorithms to display someone's blood pressure on the monitor screen. Manufacturers use different algorithms in their monitors. The CuffLink uses only one algorithm so the other manufacture's monitors are using an algorithm different from the one that they expect to see. Therefore the readings can sometimes be off by a few mmHg.

Is the CuffLink auscultatory option for testing monitors using Karotoff sounds available?

No, the auscultatory option is no longer available. The CuffLink will now perform only oscillometric non invasive blood pressure simulations.

The screen on my CuffLink is blank. What is wrong?

Before sending your CuffLink in for service if the screen is blank try adjusting the Display View switch on the right side of the front of the CuffLink. Someone may have bumped the switch too far to the right or left. Turn the switch to the middle of the travel on the switch and the display should be ok. If not, you should call the service department at (888)993-5853 option 1for a RMA to send the CuffLink back for repair.

What is the part number for the cuff adapter kit for the CuffLink?

The part number for the entire set of 8 cuff/hose adapters is 2245300.

What is the part number for the cuff mandrel (the blocks that you wrap the cuff around)?

The part number for the neonatal cuff mandrel is 2392328. The part numbers for the pieces of the adult mandrel are 2392381 for each center spacer block (3 are required) and 2392370 for each end block (2 are required).

When I look at the blood pressure readings on my monitor what should I be looking for from the CuffLink simulations, accuracy or repeatability?

There are both static and dynamic simulations that can be sent from the CuffLink. Accuracy specifications refer to static blood pressure measurements such as the "Manometer" test. The static pressure tests are normally very accurate. Since the usual test function of the CuffLink is to provide a dynamic blood pressure simulation such as 120/80, and due to the probable difference between the algorithm used by the CuffLink and the algorithm expected by the monitor, perfect accuracy can not be expected. The simulation that you select on the CuffLink may vary from the reading displayed by the monitor. Repeatability is much more important. Every time that you use the CuffLink to simulate a given pressure with each type of monitor, the readings should be very close to being the same as the last test on that type of monitor.

When using the remote commands for computer control or the module for the medtester why don't I get a response from the CuffLink showing the results of the simulation?

For example, when I simulate 120/80 why don't I get the monitor blood pressure reading back from the CuffLink to the medtester?

Since the only physical connection to the monitor is the cuff tubing adapter, there is no way for the CuffLink to know what reading is being displayed by the monitor. Therefore, during both medtester and computer control you will need to manually insert the test result for most simulations.
