Running a Dynamic Waveform
The MPS450 simulates dynamic waves to represent the pressures in various places in the
heart or blood vessels. Waves are specified for a normal sinus rhythm at 80 BPM, with
systolic pressure over diastolic pressure, e.g., 120/80, etc. Available dynamic waves (not
all available on all channels) are listed Table 2-24. (For information about the Swan-Ganz
simulation—a serial simulation available only on BP4, in both manual and automatic
modes—see the “Simulating the Swan-Ganz Procedure” section in this chapter.

PROCEDURE
Action in the Menu-Control Mode
1. Press the top-menu key labeled BP.
2. Select BP1, BP2, BP3, or BP4 to display the screen for a specific channel.
3. Select DYNA to display the DYNAMIC WAVE screen for the selected channel (in
this example, BP3):
gje030.eps
4. Scroll to the desired dynamic waveform, for example, PULM WEDGE 10/2.
5. Select RUN. On the LCD screen, RUN flashes to indicate the identified waveform is
running. The simulation runs continuously (repeats) until another selection is made.
6. Press the ESC key to return to the screen for the selected BP channel. The screen
identifies the selected waveform.
7. Press the ESC key again to return to the top menu BLOOD PRESSURE. The LCD
screen indicates the waveform running on the selected channel:
