3. Press the Ent key to view the Makearm graph. If the cuff pressure is not set to zero,
repeat the above procedure.
Simulating Other ADAMS Family Target Values
Simulation of any of the ADAMS Family target values follows the same procedure as
that of the 120/80 simulation:
1. From the 120/80
Makearm display, press the Esc key to return to the ADAMS
Family Target Values screen.
2. Choose the desired target value, as indicated in Table 2-1.
3. Press the
Ent key. The Makearm display reappears with a new target value listed
below TotlTime .
NIBP Monitor Testing Sequence
To test the accuracy of the NIBP monitor:
1. When the cuff pressure is zero, connect the cuff adapter to the Analyzer.
2. Initiate the NIBP monitor testing sequence, referring to the monitor operators manual
as needed. The following sequence occurs:
• The cuff inflates around the mandrel.
• The analyzer starts the peripheral pulse simulation and draws a curve
representing the cuff pressure (oscillometric technique) as the test progresses.
• The analyzer initiates blood pressure simulation when the inflate pressure reaches
8.0 mmHg.
• When simulation begins, a small flashing heart becomes visible to the left of
Total Test Time ( TotlTime , on right side of graph). This represents the heart
rate. Each color change of the heart signifies one heartbeat.
• The analyzer terminates the simulation when the pressure upon deflate reaches
6.0 mmHg.
• The NIBP monitor interprets and displays the measured blood pressure values
and heart rate at the completion of the test.
3. Compare the monitor values with the target values displayed on the Makearm
display.
Note
It is normal for the monitor to have a different reading from the target
value displayed on the Makearm display. Readings may also be different
when the monitor is in the stat mode rather than the normal (automatic) or
manual mode. The objective is that readings be consistent and repeatable.
Accuracy for the target values cannot be specified because no standard for
blood pressure measurements exists.
