2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Measurement principle
NIBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) is an indirect method for measuring blood pressure.
The NIBP measurement is performed according to the oscillometric measuring principle. The cuff is
inflated with a pressure slightly higher than the presumed systolic pressure, and deflated at a
speed based on the patient’s pulse, collecting data from the oscillations caused by the pulsating
artery. Based on these oscillations, values for systolic, mean, and diastolic pressures are
calculated.
The following parts are necessary for NIBP measurement:
• NIBP module
• Twin hose (adult or infant model)
• Blood pressure cuffs (different sizes)
2.2 Main components
The NIBP module consists the following parts:
• NIBP board
• Pneumatics and hosing
• NIBP air pump
• Zero valve
• Check valve
• Bleed valve
• Exhaust valves (2)
• Pressure transducers (2)
• Module keyboard and status indicator LEDs
• Front panel keys: Auto On/Off, Set Cycle Time, Stat On/Off, Start/Cancel

CON TRO L
The NIBP board contains two pressure transducers. They are of piezoresistive type. One is used for
measuring the pressure of the blood pressure cuff and the pressure fluctuations caused by arterial
wall movement (B1). The other is used for detection of cuff hose type, cuff loose and cuff occlusion
situations etc. (B2). The transducers are internally temperature compensated. They are supplied by
a constant voltage and their output voltage changes up to 40 mV max. (50 kPa, 375 mmHg).
Signal processing
Two signals from the pressure transducers are amplified and sent to A/D converter. After the
converter, digitized signals are sent to microprocessor for data processing. Before the converter,
one of the signals is used to adjust the offset to the pressure safety level.
The NIBP board is controlled with 80C51FA microprocessor at 16 MHz oscillator frequency.
Communication between the module and the monitor CPU board is established through RS485
serial interface at 500 kbps data transfer rate.

Memory
NIBP program memory (EPROM) size is 128k × 8. RAM size is 32k × 8 bit and it stores variable
values in NIBP measurement. EEPROM is size 64 × 16 bit and is used to store the calibration
values for the pressure transducers, the pulse valve constants gained during measurements, the
PC board identification, and module serial number.
Software control
Software controls valves and pump. In addition to the individual on/off signals for each component
there is a common power switch for the valves and the pump that can be used at pump/valve
failures.
In addition to external RS485 reset line the microprocessor system is equipped with its own powerup reset.
Watchdog timer
The NIBP board is equipped with software independent safety circuit to disconnect supply voltages
from the pump and the valves if the cuff has been pressurized longer than preset time. As soon as
the cuff pressure rises over a specified pressure limit, timer starts counting. The timer is adjusted to
stop the pump and open the valves in 2 minutes 10 seconds in adult/child mode and in 1 minute
5 seconds in infant mode.
Valves
Exhaust valves are used for emptying the cuff and the joining chamber after the measurement.
Exhaust valve 1 is also used as safety valve in infant mode. Valve opens at 165 mmHg. Exhaust
valve 2 is also used as safety valve in adult mode and opens at 320 mmHg.
Bleed valve is used for emptying the cuff during measurement. Zero valve is used for connecting
the pressure transducer B1 to open air.
Power supply section
All connections are established via 25-pin connector (D-type, female). The module needs +5 V,
±15 V, and +15 VD (dirty) power supply to operate. The pump and the valves use separate +15 VD
power line. The supply voltages are generated in the power supply section of the S/5 monitor. The
reference voltages ±5 V
ref and +10 Vref are generated on the NIBP board.

3.4 Adjustments and calibrations
3.4.1 Pressure safety level detection “OFFSET”
Remove two screws at the rear of the module. Remove the module box. Connect first the service
cable (e.g. a long Gas interface cable) to the module connector inside the monitor frame and then
to the rear connector of the module. Switch the monitor on. Go to the NIBP service menu and select
Pneumatics. Pump reference pressure into the module:
Adjust the trimmer until AD5 signal sign changes from negative to positive. Re-check the
adjustement, then lock the trimmer with for example nail polish.
3.4.2 NIBP calibrations
The electronics of NIBP pressure measurement is calibrated at the factory. Zeroing pressure is
automatically maintained by the processor. If the zero point of the pressure transducer drifts more
than specified, an error message is given and the NIBP board should be recalibrated or replaced.
The calibration can be checked and recalibrated in the NIBP service menu.
The calibration of the primary pressure channel can also be checked from the NIBP setup menu
(NIBP, NIBP Setup, Calibration Check). In this case the auto zeroing is performed at start - remove
hose before entering to ensure atmospheric pressure to the pressure transducers - the primary
pressure is displayed. The zero-offset value should then be zero.
NIBP Module, M-NIBP
Calibration check
1. Enter Calibration menu.
2. Select ‘Calibration Check’ and press the ComWheel.
3. Connect an external precision manometer to the module.
4. Pump the following pressures to manometer and check the difference between the
manometer and monitor pressure display:

PressureMax. errorExample
0 mmHg±9 mmHg (=zero offset)-2
100 mmHg100 + zero offset ±2 mmHg98 ±2
200 mmHg200 + zero offset ±3 mmHg198 ±2
If the error of pressure channel B1 is larger than specified above, the module should be
recalibrated. The error of B2 is allowed to be even twice as large because it has no effect on blood
pressure measurement accuracy. However, it is recommended to recalibrate the module also when
the error of B2 is larger than specified above to ensure best possible operation.
Calibration
1. Enter Calibration menu.
2. Remove hoses from front panel connector to enable proper zeroing.
3. Select Calibration. If it is not available, perform the steps A, B and C.
NOTE: Do not pull out the NIBP module from the monitor frame. The module must be in the frame
during the whole procedure.
A) Turn the toggle switch at the bottom of the NIBP module to enable the calibration.
Turn the switch to the right by, for example, a sharp pencil. This enables menu
selection ‘Protection’. the message ‘Calibration switch ON!’ appears.
B) Select Protection OFF in the Calibration menu and press the ComWheel.
C) Return the toggle switch to the left. Menu selection Calibration is now enabled, and
Protection is disabled. When the calibration is enabled, a message ‘Calibration not
protected’ appears.
4. Start Calibration by pressing the ComWheel. Messages ‘ZEROING’ and ‘ZEROED’ will appear
in the NIBP message field. After this a pressure bar will appear.
5. Connect an external mercury manometer with pump to module through the both tubes of
the hose - both transducers B1 and B2 must be calibrated simultaneously. Pump up to a
pressure about 200 mmHg according to the manometer. Calibration is possible in the range
150 to 300 mmHg.
6. Verify that both pressure values in the prompt field match the manometer reading. If not,
adjust by turning the ComWheel. When the values of the pressure bar and the manometer
are equal, press the ComWheel to confirm the calibration. The message ‘Calibrating’ will
appear onto the NIBP digit field. After a few seconds it is followed by ‘Calibrated’, which
means that the calibration has succeeded, and the new calibration data has been saved
into EEPROM.

Service DataPressure shows measured pressure multiplied by 10.
Zero shows pressure at auto zeroing multiplied by 10 and changes between +20 and -20 mmHg.Absolute pressure is the sum of Pressure and Zero.
Protect handle indicates hardware protection for EEPROM memory. It should be ON all the time in
normal operation. If it is OFF data can not be read from or written to EEPROM, only the calibration
protection can be set or reset by software. It can be turned to OFF by turning the toggle switch to the
right at the bottom of the module, which also enables 'Protection ON/OFF' menu selection in the
calibration menu.
Calibr. prot. shows software calibration protection and should be OFF to enable calibration.
+15 V power indicates the condition of the supply voltage +15 Vdirty for the pump and valves. It
exists (ON) or not (OFF) depending on service menu function. The supply voltage can be turned on
by selecting the previous menu and then the desired menu again.
AD0 to AD7 show the values of each eight channels of A/D converter.
Timeouts is a cumulative number that indicates how many times the module has not responded to
the monitor's inquiry. Bad checksums is a cumulative number that indicates how many times
communication from the module to monitor broke down.
Bad c-s by mod is a cumulative number that indicates how many communication errors the
module has detected.
The monitor starts counting these items at power up and resets to zero at power off. The nonzero
values do not indicate a failure, but the continuous counting (more than 50 per second) indicates
either serial communication failure, or module not in place. Also other modules can cause
communication errors that cause these numbers rise.
RAM indicates the state of the RAM memory.
ROM indicates whether the checksum in the EPROM is in accordance with the one the software has
calculated.
EEPROM indicates if the values stored in the permanent memory are valid.
The state is either OK, Fail or ? (module not in place or a communication error).

Active Leak Test Wrap an adult cuff around a pipe and connect the cuff to the module. Select the active leak test
(ON). The module automatically pumps a pressure of 260 mmHg into the cuff. Wait for several
seconds until the pressure stabilizes. Then check that the pressure reading does not drop more
than 5 mmHg per minute. If it does, leaking point(s) should be detected and fixed. Cancel the test
by selecting Active leak test OFF.
Calibration Check
After the calibration check is selected (ON), manually pump pressure into the module and make
sure that the same pressure values are shown both on the display and on manometer. Pressure of
both pressure channels B1 and B2 are shown. Note that if the display shows +2 mmHg at zero
pressure and if you pumped +200 mmHg into the module, the display should show +202 mmHg.
ProtectionSoftware calibration protection (ON/OFF). Select OFF when calibrating. Protection can be set to ON
or OFF only when the toggle switch at the bottom of the module is set to the right.
CalibrationCalibration selection is available only when protection is OFF.
NIBP calibration can be performed in the NIBP Service menu as follows:
NOTE: Both channels B1 and B2 must be calibrated simultaneously.
1. If Protection is ON change it to OFF by first turning the toggle switch to the right at the
bottom of the module, which enables the Protection selection. Then turn the toggle switch
to the left to enable Calibration.
NOTE : Do not disconnect the module from the frame when turning the switch. The module must be
in the frame during the whole procedure.

Document No. 800 1015-1
NOTE: When the switch is at the right, the NIBP field shows an error message ‘Calibration switch
on!’.
NOTE: When calibration is enabled, a message ‘Calibration not protected’ appears.
2. For proper zeroing to take place, remove the hose from the front panel connector. Select
Calibration and press the ComWheel. Messages ‘ZEROING’ and ‘ZEROED’ will appear in the
NIBP message field. After this a pressure bar will appear beside the menu.
3. Connect an external mercury manometer with pump to module through the both tubes of
the hose. Pump up to about 200 mmHg pressure (range of 150 to 300 mmHg allowed)
according to the manometer. Verify that both pressure values in the prompt field match the
manometer reading. If not, adjust by turning the ComWheel.
4. When the values are equal, press the ComWheel to confirm the calibration. First the
message ‘Calibrating’ will appear in the digit field for NIBP followed after a few seconds
‘Calibrated’, which means that the calibration data has now been saved.
5. Use the bottom switch to enable Protection setting and set it ON, and finally disable
Protection setting.

the ComWheel a press. The test ends automatically or when Stop test (appears in place of Start
test) is pressed.
Max. press indicates the pressure at which the safety valve opens and is normally 310 ±15 mmHg
for adult and 150 mmHg ±15 mmHg for infant. 2 s after stop indicates the pressure at 2 seconds
after the pump has stopped and is normally > 280 mmHg for adult and > 120 mmHg for infant. If
the value is less, check leakage by the active leak test.

Pulse Valve Checking
Wrap an adult cuff around a pipe and connect the cuff to the module. Select the Start test and
press the ComWheel. The pressure rises beyond 240 mmHg and stops. The pulse valve opens. The
module counts the time it takes for the pressure to go down from 240 mmHg to 50 mmHg and
displays it on the screen. The test can be manually stopped by selecting Stop test.
The valve can be adjusted between 0 and 255 (0 for fully closed and 255 for fully open). First
select Set Valve and press the ComWheel. See the pulse valve value and adjust it by turning the
ComWheel. Then press the ComWheel to confirm the value.
The ‘Interval 240 mmHg -> 50 mmHg’ time should be less than 60 seconds when the valve is
'150' and less than 10 when fully opened (255). When fully closed (0), the system should be
airtight and the pressure does not drop. Depending on an individual, the pulse valve may remain
closed up to approx. value 45.
If the measured time deviates much from those above, then the pulse valve or its tubes are faulty.
