Overview

Second Generation Technology.
The BP Pump 2 is a second-generation Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitor (NIBPM) Analyzer that verifies all oscillometric adult and neonatal non-invasive BP monitors quickly and accurately. The BP Pump 2 incorporates the latest technology to test today's most advanced BP monitors.

The BP Pump 2's unique, expanded feature set includes wrist-cuff simulations to accurately verify wrist-cuff monitors, internal cuffs to signal immediate problems in the cuff or monitor, and optional 5-lead synchronized ECG simulations allowing for spot checks on the ECG portion of the monitor.

Standard simulations and measurements include dynamic BP simulations, static pressure calibrations, automated leak testing, and high/low pressure relief verification.

For the mobile technician, or departments with limited bench space, the BP Pump 2 is one of the lightest and smallest units available at only 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) and 10" x 10" x 5" (25.4 x 25.4 x 12.7 cm), respectively.

Features


» Dynamic NIBPM simulations for arm and wrist-cuff monitors
» ECG and arrhythmia simulation synchronized with BP (optional)
» Internal pump: Used in high- and low-pressure release verification, leak testing and pressure sourcing
» Preset mode: Most patient conditions can be simulated using the preset mode or user-defined simulations.
» Internal adult/neonatal cuffs: Allow user to test NIBPM separate from cuff
» Respiratory artifacts including spontaneous breathing and controlled ventilation
» Arrhythmia simulations including premature arterial contractions #1 and #2, arterial fibrillation and PVCs
