PS420 patient simulator

This product has accessories available to purchase online now. See listing in Accessories tab below.

The PS420 is a handheld, high-performance simulator for testing patient monitors. Small enough to fit in a pocket, the handy PS420 features a wide variety of simulation capability, including a full range of ECG, respiration, blood pressure, temperature and cardiac output conditions. The tool includes 12-lead ECG, two-channel blood pressure simulation, 35 arrhythmia selections, pacemaker simulation as well as adult and pediatric normal sinus rhythms. For convenient use, labeled hot keys on the keypad guide users to the most common settings

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any patient monitors that may not recognize Ventricular Fibrillation simulated by PS410/PS420 patient simulator?

Yes.

Ventricular Fibrillation (VFIB) is a medical emergency condition in which there is uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles in the heart, making them tremble rather than contract properly. Since the VFIB waveform continuously changes in shape, magnitude and direction, different patient monitors may use slightly different algorithms to detect VFIB signal.

When running the PS410/420's electronically-generated VFIB selection on either the SpaceLabs Healthcare UltraView 1500 or the Datascope Corporation Passport 2 patient monitors, the signal is not always recognized as VFIB. Randomly, short waveform segments may or may not be detected after 30 seconds to 4 minutes. Different algorithms are utilized by the range of available brands and models of patient monitoring equipment.

In this situation, we recommend customers use the FBC MPS450 Multi-Parameter Patient Simulator's VFIB selection with a broader frequency spectrum simulation signal recognizable by the SpaceLabs Healthcare UltraView 1500, Datascope Corporation Passport 2 and other brands/models of patient monitoring equipment used throughout the healthcare delivery system.
