KbPort BPSim Sphygmomanometer Simulator

KbPort^™ BPSim^™, an advanced, patented, analog sphygmomanometer simulator, can be used as a skills trainer or used to add realism to high-fidelity simulations or standardized patient scenarios. When used as a skills trainer, the high-sensitivity air valve teaches precise air release control; the audio propagation characteristics force proper placement and pressure of the stethoscope; and the programmable blood pressure settings provide instructors with the ability to measure learner competence and understanding of proper blood pressure measurement techniques.

The programmable features of BPSim^™ make it ideally suited to enhance high, mid, and low-fidelity simulations by adding the ability to measure the simulated patient's blood pressure, a critical component of clinical assessment. BPSim^™ provides an additional layer of realism to standardized patient scenarios, by requiring learners to accurately measure pre-programmed blood pressure rather than documenting reported values from the patient.

BPSim^™ is app-based and when managed from a mobile device, can be programmed for any range of blood pressure including: hypo-tension, normal, pre-hypertension, hypertension (stages 1 & 2) and hypertensive crisis. BPSim^™ settings are configured through the BPSim^™ mobile app, available on the Google Play Store and the Apple^® App Store.
