SmartArm™
 NIBP Simulator SmartArm, the ultimate testing machine for
non-invasive blood pressure monitors. SmartArm is the only battery-powered and
portable blood pressure simulator, half the size and weight of the competition. SmartArm
also provides built-in adult and neonate mandrels, eliminating the need to bring along
"blocks" to test blood pressure monitors. SmartArm is the only blood
pressure simulator that provides Auscultatory Simulation to test IVAC blood pressure
monitors.
The second generation SmartArm
includes features suggested by hospital biomedical departments and industry R&D
departments:
 | auscultatory NIBP simulation
|
| internal pump for static calibration, leak tests and
over-pressure tests
|
| independent systolic and diastolic pressures
|
| high resolution (5 msec sampling) cuff and pulse
pressure
|
| waveform display with scrolling and variable zoom.
|
Of
course the new SmartArm still includes the benefits that have gained it worldwide
recognition:
| ±0.5 mmHg NIBP accuracy
|
| battery or AC operation
|
| 320 x 240 graphic display
|
| digital manometer with ±0.1 mmHg resolution
|
| closed-loop servo for accurate pulse generation
|
| a system half the size and weight of the competition.
|
And,
because of its advanced design, SmartArm is still the most affordable NIBP tester
available.
SmartArm: the Smart choice for serious
NIBP testing.
SPECIFICATIONS
Dynamic Non-invasive Blood Pressure
SmartArm simulates normal hypertensive and hypotensive dynamic, non-invasive blood
pressures. Simulations represent typical adult, infant, and neonatal patients. Generates
normal, bradycardia, and tachycardia rhythm selections with a wide range of
user-programmable weak, normal, and strong peripheral pulse amplitudes. Compatible with
oscillometric and selected auscultatory NIBP devices.
