Can I create a preset series of simulations using my medSim 300B that will run automatically?

There are two different types of sequential procedures that can be used in the medSim 300B menu. The first is called auto sequences. These are eight preprogrammed sequences that run by automatically without showing the current simulation on the screen of the medSim 300B and no user interaction. The second type of sequential procedure is the step sequences. These can be started and stopped by the user prompts on the screen of the medSim 300B. There are three preprogrammed step sequences which include CCU, Holter and Pacemaker series.

After 30 minutes my medSim 300B shuts itself off. The battery is not dead so why did it shut off?

You can adjust the time that the medSim 300B will stay on in the Utilities menu under the TIME button. You can adjust the time that the medSim 300B will stay powered on from 30 minutes to 8 hours or select off and it will never turn off. You can also save any of these settings by pushing the save button in Utilities. For extended periods of use you should always use the battery eliminator and not rely on battery power.

What make should I select with my Index 2 when I want to test a pulse oximeter stand-along unit or integrated into a patient monitor?

The make is determined by the type of probe technology being used, not the brand of the monitor. Many oximeter manufacturers outsource their oximeter technology to other monitor manufacturers. The Index 2 optical simulation is based upon the make of the sensor being used.

My DataSim 6100 no longer displays NSR on the controller when I turn it on. What is wrong?

Check to make sure that the ends of the coiled cable are plugged into the controller and the Keypad jack on the DataSim 6100. If both ends are correctly plugged into the controller and the DataSim 6100, and something other than NSR is seen on the controller screen or if the screen is blank. Check to see if the power light is on. If not, try charging the unit. If the power light is on and you see something other than NSR on the controller display, send the DataSim in for repair.
