Your Pronk
SimCube

where you need to be. Your SimCube system comes with the following: The SimCube
simulator, a small 6VDC/2 amp power supply and at least one adapter. For information on other
accessories, visit our web site www.pronktech.com.

Getting Started

1. Plug the SimCube power supply into an AC outlet.
Warning: Use only the power supply provided with your SimCube system. The power supply
provided is 6VDC, 1.8amp, center positive, 2.1mm jack.
2. Connect the power jack into the SimCube power receptacle. Many power supplies use the
same plug, and connecting the SimCube simulator to the wrong power supply may damage it. Be
sure the plug has a yellow SimCube flag on it prior to connecting it to the SimCube simulator.
3. Wait for the power-up sequence to complete. When complete, the display will show 000.0
on SimCube models SC-1, SC-2, SC-3 and SC-4 and SC-5 with SW versions up to 4.5. SC-5 SW
version 5.0 or higher will display 0.0. During the power-up sequence, the SimCube simulator will
zero its pressure, so please remove all connections from the NIBP bulkhead to allow the SimCube
to accurately zero to atmosphere. This step may take up to 15 seconds to complete.
4. Select the desired mode by pressing the Yellow Mode button. Each time the Mode button
is pressed, the mode will be changed and the LED indicating the new mode will be lit. If the
SimCube transitions into sleep mode (after approximately 30 seconds of non-use) to conserve
power, the first press of the Mode button will illuminate the display and a second press will be
required to move to the next mode. The NIBP and, if available, ECG, RESP, and IBP values
corresponding to each mode are printed on the front panel next to the LED, horizontally. For more
detailed information on each mode, refer to each parameter section in this manual.
5. For dynamic NIBP testing, connect the SimCube simulator in line with the monitor's cuff and
hose as shown in Fig. 1. Different monitors will require different adapters. A variety of adapters
are available from Pronk Technologies Inc. and each SimCube system comes equipped with at
least one. Using a SimCube Cuff Jacket can improve reading capture and consistency. Generally,
the smaller cuff jacket sleeve volume is best for most monitors. In Neo mode, be sure to use a
small cuff. To use the Cuff Jacket, wrap the cuff as described above and insert into the desired neo
or large volume sleeve. If not using the Cuff Jacket, wrap cuff snugly around itself and place in an
area safe from accidental motion.
