9. To repeat a sequence, select another life-threatening rhythm and
defibrillate. The Defib Conversion feature can be disabled at any time by
selecting
SPEC FUNC 60 ( DEFIB DISABLE ).
Manually Initiating Defib Sequence
To initiate the defib sequence manually, press the SIMULATE DEFIB switch
on the Simulator front panel or select SPEC FUNC 46 ( DEFIB ). When this
function is selected, defib artifact is simulated. If a post defib rhythm has been
programmed, the defib artifact is automatically followed by the programmed
rhythm.
Blood Pressure Simulation
The Simulator can assist in checking the calibration of an invasive pressure
monitor. It is important to zero each pressure channel of the monitor.
To check the calibration of the monitor:
1. Connect BP cables from the Simulator to the monitor.
2. Zero the monitor before powering on the Simulator. When the Simulator
is powered on, it automatically outputs an NSR ECG waveform and the
normal BP waveforms.
Alternatively, power on the Simulator and select SPEC FUNC 62
( 0mmHg ). Up to three pressure channels can be zeroed simultaneously
via channel 2-4. Use the pressure monitor manufacturer suggested
procedure to obtain a 0 mmHg pressure baseline of each pressure channel.
3. After successfully adjusting the monitor zero point, select SPEC FUNC
79 to check calibration of the pressure monitor.
4. Select the desired pressure waveform via Special Function or Direct
Function keys to output dynamic BP waveforms on all three channels.
Pressure cables are available to connect the Simulator to most pressure
monitors. Table 2-2 defines systolic, diastolic, and mean values of the
dynamic pressure waveforms for normal sinus beats.
If the monitor or recorder does not closely agree with these pressure
values, any of the following may apply.
• The monitor or recorder is not calibrated or properly zeroed.
