This section provides information for the maintenance and service of the Non-Invasive Blood
Pressure parameter module, M-NIBP. The Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Module, M-NIBP, is a
double width plug-in module designed for use with the S/5 monitors.
NOTE: Do not use identical modules in the same monitor simultaneously. The M-NIBP and MNE(12)STPR/-NESTR/-NETPR/M-MRI/M-MRIP are considered as identical modules.

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.
