Blood Pressure Function
The Product simulates dynamic Blood Pressure (BP)
waveforms that synchronize with all normal sinus rhythm
rates and track all simulated arrhythmias. You can set
each of the four BP channels independently. Each channel
simulates a bridge pressure transducer. A respiration
artifact can be injected into each BP channel waveform.
How to Set the BP Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the four BP channels must be set to
match the sensitivity of the patient monitor. To set BP
channel sensitivity:
1. In the Home screen, push the navigation buttons to
highlight SETUP .
2. Push  to show the Setup screen in the display.
3. Use the parameter selection procedure described in
the Operation section to set the BP Sense parameter.
How to Set Up a BP Channel
To set up one of the four BP channels:
1. In the Home screen, push the navigation buttons to
highlight BP .
2. Push  to show the Blood Pressure screen in the
display.
3. Push  or  to highlight the BP channel you want to
set up.
4. Push  to show the Blood Pressure screen for
the channel in the display.
5. Before you start the BP simulation, you must set the
simulated pressure to 0 mmHg. Push the navigation
buttons to highlight
ZERO .
6. Push . The static pressure parameter is set to
0 mmHg and the dynamic and artifact variables are set
to Off.
7. Zero the patient monitor to set the baseline for future
simulations.
8. Use the parameter selection procedure described in
the Operation section to set the Blood Pressure
channel parameters.
Dynamic BP Waveforms
The Dynamic parameter is used to simulate the various
pressures that are found around the heart and associated
blood vessels. The dynamic waveforms have a normal
sinus rhythm at 80 bpm. Only the systolic and diastolic
pressures change for each dynamic waveform.
All the dynamic waveforms are not available on all four BP
channels. Table 7 is a list of the dynamic BP waveforms
with a check to indicate which BP channel each waveform
can be set on.
