Appendix Performance Characteristics
Maximum Cuff Pressure
Hardware Maximum Cuff pressure:
Adult Mode: 330 mmHg
Pediatric Mode: 220 mmHg
Neonatal Mode: 165 mmHg
Software Maximum Cuff pressure:
Adult Mode: 300 mmHg
Pediatric Mode: 200 mmHg
Neonatal Mode: 145 mmHg
Cuff Inflation
The Passport V is capable of supplying sufficient air to bring a volume of at least 200 cc
(12 cubic inches) to a pressure of 300 mmHg in no more than 10 seconds, unless otherwise
stated. (ANSI/AAMI SP10A-1996)
If the cuff is not inflated to the desired pressure within 60 seconds then the cuff is vented and
a retry cycle is initiated, up to 3 times.
Maximum Leakage
The maximum allowed pressure drop with the bleed valves closed is 10 mmHg in 10 seconds
as measured with a 500 cc volume at differential pressures of 250 mmHg, 150 mmHg and
50 mmHg (Reference ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992, EN1060-3, 1997).
Vent Rate
A volume of 500 cc, when vented, is reduced from a pressure of 260 mmHg to a pressure of
15 mmHg in a maximum of 10 seconds. For Neonate, from a pressure of 150 mmHg to a
pressure of 5 mmHg in less then 5 seconds (Reference: EN1060-3, 1997).
Initial Conditions
An NIBP Zero is performed automatically before the NIBP can be initiated.
