Introduction

The Fluke Biomedical BP Pump 2 Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Simulator and
Tester, hereafter known as the “Tester”, is a multi-purpose test instrument for
use with oscillometric Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitors (NIBPMs). The
Tester provides dynamic blood pressure simulations, static calibration,
automated leak testing, and pressure relief valve testing. The following
models are available:

• BP Pump 2L (Basic Model)

• BP Pump 2M (High-Accuracy Model)

The Tester allows you to verify the performance claims of different blood
pressure monitors. You can quickly recall the fixed onboard simulations or
define your own. With its internal pump, the Tester can generate pressures up
to 400 mmHg (53.3 kPa) for leak testing, pressure sourcing, and relief valve
testing.

In addition, you can define auto sequences that automate the sequencing of
tests and NIBP simulations and provide an optional printed report.

Key Features

Key features of the Tester include:

• Pressure leak testing on cuff, tubing, and connections

• Relief valve testing on the patient monitor

• Pressure gauge measurements

• Pressure source capability

• NIBP simulations including adult, neonate, arrhythmias, and respiratory

artifacts

• Auto sequences with optional reports

• Internal Adult and Neonatal Cuff simulation

Tester capabilities can be extended with optional accessories that allow:

• ECG synchronization with non-invasive output

• External wrist cuff simulations

Introduction and Specifications
General Safety Considerations

Warnings and Cautions

Users are advised to read the manual carefully, observing all warnings and
cautions, before attempting to set up and operate the Tester.

A Warning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause
bodily harm or death.

A Caution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Tester or
the equipment under test, or cause permanent loss of data.

W X Warning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow
these guidelines:

• Read the Users Manual before operating the Tester.

• Use this Tester only in the manner specified by the

manufacturer or the protection provided may be
impaired.

• Do not connect the Tester to a patient or equipment

connected to a patient. The Tester is intended for
equipment evaluation only and should never be used
in diagnostics, treatment or in any other capacity
where the Tester would come in contact with a patient.

1

• Do not use the product in wet locations, around

explosive gases or dust.

• Never open the Tester case, because dangerous

voltages are present. There are no user replaceable
parts in the Tester.

• The Tester must be properly earthed. Only use a

supply socket that has a protective earth contact. If
there is any doubt as to the effectiveness of the supply
socket earth, do not connect the Tester.

• Do not use a two-conductor adapter or extension cord;

this will break the protective ground connection.

• Ensure that the external power source is properly rated

for the system.

1-5

BP Pump 2

Operators Manual

• Always connect the system power cord directly to a

three-prong receptacle with a functional ground. Never
use a two-prong plug adapter to connect primary
power to the Tester, thereby disconnecting the utility
ground.

• Disconnect the Tester from the power source before

changing the supply voltage. The Tester operates at a
range of 100 to 240 volts.

W Caution

To avoid damage to the Tester or adverse affects on its
performance, follow these guidelines:

• Allow only qualified technical personnel to service the

Tester.

• Do not expose the system to temperature extremes.

Ambient temperatures should remain between 15° C
and 40° C. System performance may be adversely
affected if temperatures fluctuate above or below this
range.

• Clean the Tester only by gently wiping down with a

clean, lint-free cloth dampened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not immerse the unit.

• Do not apply pressures greater than 400 mmHg (53

kPa) to the pressure port.
