Increases in right ventricular (RV) pressure over pulmonary arterial (PA)

pressure simulate a defective pulmonary valve.

Aortic Valve Simulation

For aortic valve simulation, using medSim 300B channels BP1 and BP2, connect the

medSim 300B to the cardiac catheterization system under test.
Follow the illustration below:

1. Turn both units on.
2. After a connection has been made, the medSim 300B and the monitor need to be

zeroed.
