2. Press -AORT for the following menu display:
bp2:art
plbk down up
bp1:lv 120/0
eic161.eps
The top line of the display gives the following information:
bp2:art BP channel 2 arterial pressure-120/80
bp1:lv BP channel 1 left ventricular pressure
120/0 Left ventricular pressure setting (variable)
The variable systolic blood pressure selections for left ventricular pressure are:
120/0 Normal (medSim 300B default value)
126/0 5 % above arterial blood pressure
132/0 10 % above arterial blood pressure
138/0 15 % above arterial blood pressure
144/0 20 % above arterial blood pressure
180/0 50 % above arterial blood pressure
3. Press -UP or -DOWN on the medSim 300B to increase or decrease the
systolic blood pressure value for the left ventricle on blood pressure channel 1
(bp 1:lv).
Single and Dual Lumen Catheter Simulation
The medSim 300B simulates blood pressure waveforms obtained with single and dual
lumen catheters.
When the medSim 300B begins aortic simulation, it simultaneously represents two types
of measurements:
• A single lumen catheter with the lumen placed in the left ventricle.
• A dual lumen catheter with the distal lumen placed in the left ventricle and the
proximal lumen in the aorta (one lumen on either side of the aortic valve).
