Overview
Put Your NIBP Monitors To The Test With
The Most Trusted Analyser On The Market.
Truly reliable performance is what more
than 2,000 registered users worldwide
have come to expect from our CuffLink
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
Analyser. They’re not alone. Medical
device manufacturers around the world
also trust the CuffLink to deliver
dynamic oscillometric non-invasive blood
pressure waveforms again and again, with
1% repeatability!
How does CuffLink meet this challenge?
By offering you a quick, reliable, and
consistent way to evaluate the operation
and performance of all types of
oscillometric NIBP monitors on the
market.
The demand for repeatability is the
cornerstone upon which the CuffLink was
originally developed. We were first to
market with this new technology, and we
continue to keep pace with ongoing
advancements. For you, this means an
investment in technology that not only
meets your NIBP monitor testing needs
today, but will continue to meet future
requirements. Whether you are a
biomedical or clinical engineering
professional within a hospital, or a
manufacturer of medical devices, DNI’s
CuffLink NIBP Analyser represents a
solid investment.
Physiologically Accurate Signals
CuffLink’s NIBP waveforms are based upon
actual human physiological parameters,
so you can be sure you are simulating a
stable, "live patient" response to the
patient cuff. Plus, CuffLink further
ensures data integrity by analyzing
measurements independent of the
inflate/deflate cycle or the
interpretive algorithm used by the NIBP
monitor. You get a consistent and
repeatable source of NIBP signal,
complete with variable
systolic/diastolic values and adjustable
heart rates… just like a real patient!
The Full Spectrum
Use CuffLink to simulate the full range
of normal, hypertensive, and hypotensive
dynamic NIBP waveforms representing
typical adult, infant, and neonatal
patients. You can also generate normal,
bradycardia, and tachycardia rhythm
selections with a wide range of weak,
normal, and strong peripheral pulses.
Each selection is user-programmable. You
can easily simulate just about any
patient condition, including, for
example, mild or strenuous exercise.
With CuffLink, your NIBP monitor will
actually think there is a real patient
attached to the cuff!
Neonatal Blood Pressure Simulation
With a fast 80 millisecond rise time and
heart rates up to 240 beats per minute,
CuffLink allows you to simulate neonatal
non-invasive blood pressures as easily
as adult ones. All the cuff mandrels and
tubing adapters you will need to fit
these small neonatal cuffs are standard
CuffLink accessories.
