Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC)
The first pulse of the PAC cycle is premature and lower in amplitude than a normal sinus
pulse. The next pulse would be back in sync with normal sinus and slightly higher in
amplitude. All subsequent pulses are normal.
Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC)
This is a representation of the peripheral pulse similar to PAC
Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
The AF cycle has an irregular R to R interval. Its occurrence and properties (early vs.
late) are random throughout the pressure curve cycle.
Missed Beat (MB)
A complete beat is randomly skipped during the pressure curve cycle. The following beat
reverts to normal R to R intervals.
Aberrant Sinus Conduction (AS)
The AS cycle inserts one pulse so low that it is virtually non-existent. This causes the
Analyzer to skip one diastolic pulse and then return to normal sinus pulses.
Pressure Testing
The Analyzer now has the following enhancements to its pressure testing capability.
Internal Pump
The Analyzer now has an internal compressor which eliminates the need to manually
inflate the cuff for NIBP monitor testing. This automates static pressure measurements,
leak testing, and relief valve testing.
Pop Off Added to Press Menu
Perform over-pressure tests on NIBP monitors with this addition to the
PRESS
menu.
Utility Menu Added to Leak Test
Select cuff size, turn printing on or off, and choose a target pressure for leak testing.
Manometer
The Analyzer simulates a digital manometer with pump capabilities.
