No, the medSim 300B will only simulate cardiac output for chilled injectate (0 degrees C). Turn the pot used to adjust the simulated injectate temperature slowly as monitors do not update the temperatures shown on the screens very quickly. By turning the pot too quickly you may pass right by the 0 degree target temperature. The closer that you can set the injectate to exactly 0 degrees, the more accurate your cardiac output readings will be to the output that you have selected.

The Fluke Biomedical (FBC) Patient Simulator YSI-400 temperature feature will interface to the Zoll Medical M-Series Defib Resuscitation System (NIBP/Temp Option) using the Fluke Biomedical (UT-4, temperature cable, Part Number 2523334). If your Zoll M-Series unit is equipped with the optional dual-temperature "Y" cable (Zoll Medical Part Number 8000-0675), I would recommend purchasing two (2) of the FBC temp cables for optimal simulation and medical product evaluation. Using the FBC medSim 300B, you will be able to perform simulations on both channels simultaneously.

The blood pressure sensitivity switch allows you to change the transducer sensitivity for the blood pressure for either 5 or 40 uVolts. When using HP, Agilent, or Philips monitors with older M1006A blood pressure modules flipping this switch does not allow you to use a 40uV cable on a 5 uV transducer system. You still need the proper blood pressure cable, part number 2198902 for the 5uV systems or 2198916 for the older 40uV systems. The M1006B modules are all 5 uV systems.

There are two different temperature cables for the medSim. YSI 400 temperature simulations use part number 2523334. YSI 700 temperature simulations use part number 2199019. Check to see which YSI specification is needed for clinical use.

Two cables are needed to do temperature simulations on these monitors. These two cables plug into each other to become the temperature line from the medSim 300B to the temperature module. The two cables that you will need are the HP temperature adapter, part number 2199257, and the YSI 400 series temperature cable, part number 2523334.

Two cables are needed to do cardiac output simulations on these monitors in addition to the HP catheter set. These two cables plug into each other to become the injectate temperature line from the medSim 300B to the thermister connection on the HP catheter set. The two cables that you will need are the HP temperature adapter, part number 2199257, and the cardiac output adapter cable, part number 2199240.

The part number for the battery eliminator is 2183983.

The part number for the CI-3 cardiac output cable and box assembly is 2392199. Cardiac output is an option on the medSim 300B. Buying this cable does not give you the cardiac output option

On some monitors you may need to cut off the thermister from the catheter set. There are two wires in the cable. These two cables must be connected to pins 1 and 3 on the injectate connector on the cardiac output box for the medSim 300B. The larger four pin connector is the injectate connector. Pins 1 and 3 are the two points that lead to the pot that is being adjusted for the injectate temperature.

The respiration signal is embedded in the signal from the ECG leads so make sure that they are connected properly using a known, good lead set. In the upper left corner on the front of the medSim 300B there are two switches that are used for respiration impedance and for selecting the lead for the respiration signal. Check with your monitor manual to see which baseline impedance should be used and adjust it accordingly on your medSim 300B. Try switching the lead position to see if the respiration signal comes in.
