The CuffLink Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) Analyzer offers a quick, reliable, and consistent way to evaluate the operation and performance of oscillometric NIBP signals.
With user-programmable selections, the CuffLink will simulate the full range or normal, hypertensive, and hypotensive dynamic NIBP waveforms representing typical adult, infant, and neonatal patients. The analyzer can also generate normal, bradycardia, 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-pressure target values, these autosequences can include static pressure, leak, and over-pressure relief valve “pop-off” tests. CuffLink features an internal compressor, automating 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.
