Now zero the blood pressure channels to be used on the EUT.
To begin pulmonary valve simulation:
1. Choose <F2>-CATH from page 2 of the BP CHANNEL SELECT MENU.
The medSim 300B display shows:

The top line of the display gives the following information:
bp3:pa BP channel 3 pulmonary arterial pressure—25/10
bp4:rv BP channel 4 right ventricular pressure
25/0
Right ventricular pressure setting (variable)
The variable systolic blood pressure selections for right ventricular pressure are:
25/0
Normal (medSim 300B default value)
26/0
5 % above arterial blood pressure
27.5/0 10 % above arterial blood pressure
29/0
15 % above arterial blood pressure
30/0
20 % above arterial blood pressure
37.5/0 50 % above arterial blood pressure
3. Press <F4>-UP or <F3>-DOWN on the medSim 300B to increase or decrease the
systolic blood pressure value for the right ventricle on blood pressure channel 4
(bp4:rv).
Single and Dual Lumen Catheter Simulation
The medSim 300B simulates blood pressure waveforms obtained with single and dual
lumen catheters.
When the medSim 300B begins pulmonary simulation, it simultaneously represents two
types of measurements:
•
A single lumen catheter with the lumen placed in the right ventricle.
