WHALETEQ BPA700

BPA700 – Advanced Blood Pressure Simulator for NIBP Monitor Testing

The accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitors relies heavily on the algorithm, a core technology that determines device performance. The most effective way to optimize these algorithms is to test them using blood pressure raw data, which includes values from both healthy individuals and those with medical conditions. However, relying on clinical trials to obtain such data can be:

• Costly
• Time-consuming
• Limited in testing specific medical conditions.

The BPA700 Solution

To address these challenges, WhaleTeq developed the BPA700 Advanced Blood Pressure Simulator, equipped with a groundbreaking “record and play raw data” function.

Key Innovations:

1. Record and Play Raw Data
   • Engineers can record and replay clinical data, overcoming the limitations of manually setting parameters on conventional simulators.
   • This feature enables effective algorithm verification using real-world blood pressure data.
   • Recorded data can be reused for verifying new designs, allowing for preclinical testing to:
     • Improve the success rate of clinical trials
     • Accelerate time-to-market for new devices
2. Comprehensive Blood Pressure Testing
   • The BPA700 integrates essential tests, including:
     • Static pressure tests
     • Blood pressure tests
     • Leak tests
     • Overpressure tests
3. Standard Assistant Software
   • Includes WhaleTeq’s exclusive Standard Assistant Software, which incorporates the IEC 80601-2-30regulatory requirements into 14 pre-configured test items.
   • Minimizes time spent on test setup and standard research, enabling engineers to:
     • Quickly execute compliance tests
     • Focus on innovation and product optimization

Benefits of the BPA700
