WARNING - USERS
The NIBP-1000 Series Simulators are for use by
skilled technical personnel only.
WARNING - USE
The NIBP-1000 Series Simulators are intended
for testing only and they should never be used in
diagnostics, treatment or any other capacity
where they would come in contact with a patient.
WARNING - CONNECTIONS
All connections to patients must be removed
before connecting the Device Under Test (DUT)
to the Simulators. A serious hazard may occur
if the patient is connected when
testing with the Simulators.
Do not connect any leads from the patient
directly to the Simulators or DUT.
WARNING - ADAPTER
Turn Power Off and unplug any AC Power
Adapter before cleaning the surface
of the Simulators.
WARNING - LIQUIDS
Do not submerge or spill liquids on Simulators.
Do not operate the Simulators if internal
components may have been exposed to fluid,
as the internal leakage may have caused
corrosion and be a potential hazard.
WARNING - MODIFICATIONS
The NIBP-1000 Series Simulators are intended
for use within the published specifications. Any
application beyond these specifications or any
unauthorized user modifications may result in
hazards or improper operation.

iii
CAUTION - SERVICE
The NIBP-1000 Series Simulators are intended to
be serviced only by authorized service
personnel. Troubleshooting and service
procedures should only be performed by
qualified technical personnel.
CAUTION - ENVIRONMENT
The NIBP-1000 Series Simulators are intended to
function between 15 and 40 °C.
Exposure to temperatures outside this range can
adversely affect the performance
of the Simulators.
CAUTION - CLEANING
Do not immerse. The Simulators should be
cleaned by wiping gently with a damp,
lint-free cloth.
CAUTION - INSPECTION
The NIBP-1000 Series Simulators should be
inspected before each use for wear and
the Simulator should be serviced
if any parts are in question.

Six tactile-touch keys are provided for system operation:
– This key turns the unit off and on. The unit will return to the screen that was
active when it was turned off.
– In the DISPLAY MODE, these keys toggle the display through the available
main screens.
In the SELECT MODE, if a parameter has been highlighted, these keys will scroll through
the available settings.
– On the Main screen, this key sequences through the available NIBP or ECG
simulations. On the Setup screen, there are a number of parameters that may be selected
and changed. This key sequences the cursor (Highlight) through those parameters.
– This key is used to RESET the peak pressure reading or to begin a Leak Test.
– This key toggles the unit into and out of the Setup Mode. Depressing this key
will enter the Setup screen where the configuration can be viewed and adjusted.
Depressing the key again will exit the Setup Mode and return to the previously viewed
main screen.

BATTERY INDICATOR SCREEN – This screen shows the status of the battery voltage
level with Built-In Battery Option only.
NOTE: It is only an estimate of the battery life remaining.
When the level reaches 10%, the BP simulation mode will be disabled; however, the
Manometer and ECG (optional) will continue to function. Once the battery level reaches
0%, the unit will automatically turn itself off to avoid damaging the batteries.
The display will resemble the following:
Batteries charge from provided AC power adapter. The charge time is about 4 hours from
full discharge. While the batteries are charging, the display will flash “charging.”
CAUTION
USE ONLY THE AC POWER ADAPTER PROVIDED
WITH THE NIBP-1010, NIBP-1020 AND NIBP-1030.
