NIBP Simulator Limits with the Advantage OEM series

When potential customers evaluate the Advantage NIBP module with a view to developing manufacturing procedures, often an NIBP simulation or group of simulations are performed using an NIBP simulator. Some will ask for expected values. These values are dependent on several factors including the type of simulator, settings, age of the instrument, software version, pneumatic setup and module configuration bytes. Thus it is difficult to provide meaningful min/max values without testing under identical conditions.

This application note provides general limits expected for 5 simulator brands at various settings. These limits were derived using specific equipment arranged in a precise manner. If these data are to be relied upon, we recommend the test conditions be replicated exactly. Even so, results may vary due to the vagaries of the specific instrument.
