2048723-002D CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor B-3
Appropriate use of NIBP simulators: Appropriate use of NIBP simulators
how an NIBP monitor analyzes the oscillometric envelope. While it is possible to
develop an algorithm, which produces readings that correspond to the simulator
settings, it is preferable to use the clinical data for algorithm development.
What do simulator manufacturers say?
The DNI Nevada (Fluke Biomedical) CuffLink manual states:
"Since the CuffLink produces the same response independent of the inflate/
deflate cycle or the algorithm used by the monitor, we offer the term "Target
Value" as an approximation of the patient's actual blood pressure" (5)
