Put Your NIBP Monitors To The Test With The Most Trusted Analyzer On The Market.
Truly reliable performance is what more than 2,000 registered users worldwide have come to expect from our CuffLink Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) Analyzer. They’re not alone. Medical device manufacturers around the world also trust the CuffLink to deliver dynamic oscillometric non-invasive blood pressure waveforms again and again, with 1% repeatability!

How does CuffLink meet this challenge? By offering you a quick, reliable, and consistent way to evaluate the operation and performance of all types of oscillometric NIBP monitors on the market.

The demand for repeatability is the cornerstone upon which the CuffLink was originally developed. We were first to market with this new technology, and we continue to keep pace with ongoing advancements. For you, this means an investment in technology that not only meets your NIBP monitor testing needs today, but will continue to meet future requirements. Whether you are a biomedical or clinical engineering professional within a hospital, or a manufacturer of medical devices, DNI’s CuffLink NIBP Analyzer represents a solid investment.

Physiologically Accurate Signals
CuffLink’s NIBP waveforms are based upon actual human physiological parameters, so you can be sure you are simulating a stable, "live patient" response to the patient cuff. Plus, CuffLink further ensures data integrity by analyzing measurements independent of the inflate/deflate cycle or the interpretive algorithm used by the NIBP monitor. You get a consistent and repeatable source of NIBP signal, complete with variable systolic/diastolic values and adjustable heart rates… just like a real patient!

The Full Spectrum
Use CuffLink to simulate the full range of normal, hypertensive, and hypotensive dynamic NIBP waveforms representing typical adult, infant, and neonatal patients. You can also generate normal, bradycardia, and tachycardia rhythm selections with a wide range of weak, normal, and strong peripheral pulses. Each selection is user-programmable. You can easily simulate just about any patient condition, including, for example, mild or strenuous exercise. With CuffLink, your NIBP monitor will actually think there is a real patient attached to the cuff!

Neonatal Blood Pressure Simulation
With a fast 80 millisecond rise time and heart rates up to 240 beats per minute, CuffLink allows you to simulate neonatal non-invasive blood pressures as easily as adult ones. All the cuff mandrels and tubing adapters you will need to fit these small neonatal cuffs are standard CuffLink accessories.
