pulse measurement will be verified in three particular simulated situations via the NIBP
simulator.
Measurementtasks
1) Carry out measurement of pressure deviations in mercury tonometer for 5 values of
pressure and record them in a chart; create the correction curve.
2) Carry out measurement of pressure deviations in pointer-type tonometer for 5 values
of pressure and record them in a chart; create the correction curve.
3) Carry out measurement of pressure deviations in pseudo-mercury tonometer for 5
values of pressure and record them in a chart; create the correction curve.
4) Verify accuracy of digital automatic tonometer in three pressure situations and confirm
whether it is in conformity with the accuracy given by the manufacturer.
5) Verify accuracy of digital semi-automatic tonometer in three pressure situations and
confirm whether it is in conformity with the accuracy given by the manufacturer.
6) Carry out pressure measurement via the palpation, auscultation methods and via
automatic tonometer and compare the individual results.
Apparatusandaidsused
• Pressure simulator BC Biomedical NIBP-1010 + accessories
• Ball with air relief valve
• mercury tonometer
• Aneroid-deformation (watch-type) tonometer
• Pseudo-mercury tonometer
• Semi-automatic digital tonometer
• Automatic digital tonometer
Measurementprocedure
First of all, set up the measurement apparatus. That consists of a tested tonometer,
pressure source in manual and semi-automatic tonometers (ball with air relief valve), and the
NIBP-1010 simulator. When connecting the pneumatic parts, use suitable connector terminals
from the NIBP-1010 simulator’s accessories. See the schematic draft of the measurement
apparatus on p. 16, Chapter OPERATIONS in the simulator’s user manual, please see [1.7].
