NIA V-LINE Connects

To Most Patient Monitors For True Integration

The NIA V-Line accepts data input and power from the Vasotrac APM205A (version 7.13 software or greater), then generates an analog pressure signal. That signal is then fed to one invasive blood pressure (IBP) arterial channel of another monitor.

The NIA V-Line Interface Package generates an analog signal that is interpreted by the IBP monitor as if it were an Arterial Line Pressure Transducer signal in the patient's artery.

The NIA V-Line hardware consists of the following major components: -Analog/Digital processing board packaged in a plastic case. -Interface cable to Vasotrac -Interface cable to an IBP channel of a patient monitor - RJ11 disposable style connector is used.

The NIA V-Line device is designed using the following standards as guidelines for product development.

American Association of Medical Instrumentation (ANSI/AAMISPI0A-1996) Standards for Electronic and Automated Sphygmomanometers

UL 2601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety

EN 60601-1 European Standard Medical Electrical Equipment

IEC601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirements for Safety.

The NIA V-Line requires calibration on an annual basis. Calibration Service and Certification for the NIA V-Line is available through the Medwave Technical Support and Service Department and is competitively priced. Most calibrations can be turned around in three to five days. Think your NIA V-Line requires calibration or servicing? Contact our Service Dpartment by email at csupport@mdwv.com or call
