SC-3 SimCube® NIBP Simulator
The SC-3 SimCube® NIBP Simulators are compact, affordable and easy to use. These hand-held simulators quickly and accurately determine whether or not a monitor’s NIBP feature is working to spec. As cuff pressure changes, SimCube simulates real-life oscillometric pulses by varying both the size and shape of the wave. Get 150-250 NIBP simulations on compatible SimCube models using the optional Battery Boost with a set of 4 “AA” alkaline or NiMH batteries!
SC-3 SimCube® NIBP Simulator Features:
- Adult (120/80 mmHg), Neonatal (70/40 mmHg), and Hypertensive (190/120 mmHg) NIBP Simulations
- Digital Manometer
- Over Pressure (Peak Detect) Test mode measures the peak pressure produced by the patient monitor. The readout latches the highest pressure value sensed, in 0.5mmHg steps.

Richard Griffin has worked with some brilliant designers in his time. As an Air Force engineer, he was exposed to a variety of unique and innovative technologies from the development and testing phase.
But in his current professional career, Griffin hasn’t found a collaborator with which he enjoys working anywhere near as much as the product developers at Pronk Technologies of Sun Valley, Calif….[READ MORE]
The SimCube is small, accurate, AND easy to use!
-Mike Freude, RedMed Medical Services, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
We absolutely love our SimCubes. We started with two units but quickly added a third. I would imagine that any clinical engineering department that tries these units would feel the same. The only problem we have with the ‘Cube is that someone else is always using them. Absolutely the best the BEST test equipment of its type. These were most definitely one of our best investments in test equipment!
– Jim Arney, Clinical Engineering, MultiCare Health Systems, Tacoma, WA
The simplicity of using SimCube is excellent! Rapid access to a known dynamic blood pressure is great. SimCube dramatically cuts down on the equipment needed for my technicians in the field.
— Jerry King, Bio-Medical Equipment Services Company, Louisville, KY
I love it. It’s so compact you can take it anywhere, the ease of use is great, it’s reliable, and it’s real accurate.
— Russel Knott, Prince William Hospital, Manassas, VA
Been doing this for 21 years; SimCube is the coolest thing I have ever seen! It is awesome!
– Kevin Blumberg, Bio-Medical Solutions, Mount Pleasant, MI
I love the ease of use. It’s nice and compact and is great to take to outreach clinics!

Dear Pronk,
With 39 years of Electronics and Biomed experience, I would rank the SimCube as among the top equipment I have used. For long-term testing, I can have the NIBP monitor hooked up to the SimCube running all day if I want, instead of leaving a cuff on my arm while trying to do my other work. It is great to use a steady, reliable piece of test equipment like this. It even helped me show Nursing a problem with our older NIBP monitors and some disposable cuffs. I would give up a lot of equipment before I would give up my SimCube!!!

Dear Pronk:
It [was] my wife’s favorite holiday, Halloween. And after a couple of days of grey skies and rainy weather, this Halloween was proving to be a picture perfect fall afternoon. I was in the driveway checking my trunk for the Pronk Simulator I had used a few days before, when the first trick-or-treaters paraded towards our door.
[The writer was unable to find the SimCube NIBP Simulator in the trunk of his vehicle and so attempted to track it down.]
After contacting the last fire station I used the Pronk Simulator with and asking if I might have forgotten it there, my phone rang.
A local police officer asked if he was speaking to the owner of Bio-Tron, Inc. and if I was missing a Pronk Simulator? Answering his question was the easy part. Now I had a few questions for him.
The officer explained that a call was received from a resident who noticed suspicious looking items thrown under some bushes as she walked her child through the neighborhood trick or treating. The officer removed the items and then took them back to the station where an investigation ensued. A call was placed to Pronk Technologies with the simulator serial number being traced back to Bio-Tron. I drove to the station, less than a mile from my home office to retrieve my missing test equipment.
Tricked by a mysterious thief who had obviously been working in our quiet little town, yet treated to the fact that the Pronk Simulator was in perfect working order after being subjected to the elements, it was a Halloween I will not soon forget!
