13
Bluetooth: Enables connection to the cell phone and integration with
Arkmeds Software.
Wi: It allows the device to be connected to the internet to aid in remote
access by the manufacturer. By clicking on the icon, a list of available
networks will appear. Just select the one you want and enter the password.
Language: Allows you to select your preferred language. By clicking on the
icon, the available languages will be displayed. Just select the language and click
on restart. The device will return with the information in the chosen language.

Card 1: with only this option enabled, it is possible to view the NIBP
module on full screen.
Card 2: with only this option enabled, it is possible to view the ECG
module on full screen.
Card 3: with only this option enabled, it is possible to view the
Temperature module on full screen.
Notes: With the three Cards enabled, the NIBP, ECG,
and Temperature modules will be displayed.

In this section are each of the Waller Patient Simulator functionalities.
The automatic non-invasive measurement of blood pressure is performed
by the oscillometric method. In this method, during cuff inflation and
deflation, the compressed blood in the artery generates a pressure
oscillation when the cuff pressure is between systolic and diastolic
pressure, with the peak of this oscillation occurring at mean pressure.
TEST MODULES
NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE
ASSEMBLY
It is necessary, to assemble the test circuit to perform the NIBP test as follows:
1. Connect a T (adapter) between the monitor pressure
line and the cu󰀨
2. Connect the third output to Waller

16
On Waller’s home screen, the first option at the top is the non-invasive
blood pressure module. There we can see the following options:
Pressure. Leakage. NIBP. Frequency. Chart.
Settings

17
Pressure: indicates the numerical value of system pressure.
Leakage: option to perform pressure tests and verify leakage in the
system. By clicking on this option it is possible to select the test time
and start the verification. After counting the selected time, the pressure
variation obtained in the test is shown.

18
It is necessary to assemble the test circuit to carry out the leak test, as
follows:
1. Connect a T (adapter) between the pressure line to be tested;
2. On one side of the T (adapter), connect a hand pump system;
3. On the other, connect the device or system to validate leakage;
4. Connect the third outlet to Waller.
Leakage Test Assembly

19
NIBP: option to select different non-invasive blood pressure values.
Waller allows six different pre-configured NIBP points, allowing tests
with systolic pressures from 60 to 170 mmHg and diastolic pressures
from 30 to 125 mmHg. Simply click on the desired option and return
to the home screen.
Frequêncy: option to select different frequency values. Waller allows
the choice of values from 80 to 140 bpm of frequency. Simply click on
the desired option and return to the home screen.

20
Chart: in this space, the pressure curve is represented in real-time.
Thus, you can visualize the operation dynamics during the performance
test, whether simulating a patient signal or checking for leakage.
