I have set the CuffLink to perform 120/80 simulation but my monitor reads only 116/78. Why is the monitor not showing 120/80?

Non invasive blood pressure monitor manufactures use what is called algorithms to display someone's blood pressure on the monitor screen. Manufacturers use different algorithms in their monitors. The CuffLink uses only one algorithm so the other manufacture's monitors are using an algorithm different from the one that they expect to see. Therefore the readings can sometimes be off by a few mmHg.

Regarding the Patient Monitor Test Plug-In, how can I upload customized autosequences from my computer to ProsSim 8 using Ansur ProSim 8 Mini Plug-in?

Ansur ProSim 8 Mini Plug-In requires administrator privileges to run properly. If you have not logged on to your PC as administrator, press SHIFT key on the keyboard, right click on the Ansur shortcut or ProSim Mini Plug-In shortcut on the desktop or Start Menu and select Run as Administrator. You will now be able to run Ansur ProSim Mini Plug-In without any errors.
