MPS450 FUNCTIONS

The MPS450 provides control over a wide array of testing parameters.
The variety of normal and abnormal ECG waveforms replicated by the MPS450 can be used not only
for testing arrhythmia-detection systems, but also for training medical personnel, hospital
administrators, and staff. The MPS450 enables the teaching of techniques for pulmonary/respiratory
analysis and ECG-waveform interpretation, as well as techniques for CPR and defibrillation/
cardioversion.
The groupings below describe the MPS450 functions by category:
ECG FUNCTIONS
Normal sinus rhythm
ECG rate and amplitude
Adult / pediatric QRS
ST-segment elevation
ECG-artifact simulation
Pacemaker waveforms
Pacer amplitude and width
ARRHYTHMIA FUNCTIONS
Supraventricular arrhythmia
Premature arrhythmia
Missed beat
Ventricular arrhythmia
Conduction defect
ECG-PERFORMANCE TESTING
Square/pulse/triangle/sine
R waveforms
Wave amplitude
R-wave rate and width
RESPIRATION
Respiration lead
Baseline (impedance)
Respiration rate
Respiration amplitude
Apnea simulation
The MPS450 provides complete 3-, 5-, and 12-lead
ECG simulation that includes seven artificial
pacemaker conditions. Normal sinus rhythm is output
over a range of heart rates and voltage amplitudes.
The elevation of the ST segment is adjustable.
The MPS450 simulates 36 types of arrhythmias, such
as multifocal PVCs, bigeminy, trigeminy, tachycardia,
fibrillation, flutter, and asystole. Simulated conduction
defects include first-, second-, and third-degree heart
block; and left- and right-bundle-branch block.
The MPS450 generates square, pulse, triangle, sine,
and R waveforms for performance testing. Wave
amplitude is adjustable, as well as R-wave rate and
width.
Calibrated respiration rates are generated from 15 to
120 BrPM (breaths per minute), including four
respiration-impedance selections, with two different
lead selections (LA or LL). The output-impedance
level is adjustable to 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 ohms.
The MPS450 generates apnea pauses (0 BrPM) of 12,
22, and 32 seconds, as well as a continuous-apnea
condition.
