4.5 Pulse Function
4.5.1 Default Pulse Strength
The default pulse strength when you switch on the Heartsim 200 is
Normal. Since the default rythm is NSR, the pulse strength that will
be felt on the manikin will be similar to the normal pulse on a
healthy individual.
4.5.2 Pulse Strength Selection
You can select three different pulse strengths:
- Normal
- Weak
- Absent.
A single push of the Pulse key changes the pulse strength
selection from the default strength (Normal) to Absent. The next
push changes the pulse strength to Weak, and the next returns it
to Normal. Further pushes of the Pulse key change the selection
sequentially. The pulse rates simulated in the Normal and Weak
settings will depend upon selected rhythm.
4.5.3 Indication
Each pulse strength has its own green LED that comes on to show
you which pulse strength has been selected.
