Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Augmentation
During Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) simulation, the medSim 300B generates an
arterial blood pressure waveform modified by the IABP "assist sync pulse".
You can send simulated normal sinus rhythms (NSRs), arrhythmias, or paced waveforms
to the intra-aortic balloon pump under test.
The medSim 300B also simulates various effects of balloon inflation and deflation timing
on arterial pressure, depending on how you have set the IABP controls.
The medSim 300B and the intra-aortic balloon pump under test are interactive during
IABP simulation.
Note
To produce medSim 300B simulations for IABP evaluation, you will need:
• A blood pressure (BP) cable (refer to the current Fluke Biomedical
Price List for availability, part number information, and price).
• A synchronization ("sync") cable (refer to the current Fluke
Biomedical Price List for availability, part number information,
and price).
• ECG leads.
For IAPB simulation, connect the medSim 300B to the intra-aortic balloon pump under
test.
