1 Introduction The PatSim200 from Rigel was designed to make every patient simulation quicker. Unlike other Patient Simulators, the PatSim200 uses a home and recall function to easily move between tests and store your most used sequences, no more clicking and scrolling through 'tree style' hierarchy to perform each test.
Universal USB Power Supply 404A952 1.4 Charging The PatSim200 is supplied with a universal USB charger. You should only use the supplied charger with your PatSim200. Whilst the charger is connected to the unit and energised, the LED light on the top right of the top fascia will be illuminated.
Whilst the PatSim200 is powered on you will also see the below symbols on the display. Bulk Charging Trickle charging The PatSim200 may be used whilst charging however displayed signal quality may be reduced on some monitor types. 1.5 Battery Status During normal use, the PatSim200 automatically checks the battery status and shows the closest representation using the symbols below.
1.7 Screen Brightness You can change the screen brightness on the PatSim200 to make it suitable for different environments. To change the screen brightness press the left or right arrow keys in the home screen.
2 Getting Started 2.1 Setup In the PatSim200 you have the option to change the language, temperature units and auto off time of the unit. Pressing the Rigel key in any menu will take you to the Settings screen. Here you can use the up & down arrow keys to highlight Local Settings and press the select (tick) button.
Available Settings Language English German French Spanish Polish Simplified Chinese Temperature °C °F Auto Off 2 min 5 min 10 min 30 min 60 min 2.2 About From the Settings screen you can view information about the tester. Highlight About using the up and down arrow keys and press the select (tick) button.
2.3 Favourite Simulations You can save up to 5 of your most used simulation settings for recall at any time. 2.3.1 Default settings The unit will be delivered with 5 default settings as detailed below.

2.3.3 Recalling a favourite setting Pressing the Rigel key in any menu will take you to the Settings screen. Here you can press one of the 5 function keys to access the corresponding settings. You will see a messaging asking if you are sure.
3 Simulation Settings The PatSim200 is capable of the below simulations: • ECG wave forms Arrhythmia’s Performance Waveform Pacer Waveforms Fetal Maternal • Respiration • Temperature • Invasive blood pressure (2 channel) A list of the full settings available for each simulation is available at the end of each section.
3.1 ECG Settings Pressing F1 from the home screen takes you to the ECG menu. The screen shows the current settings. Note: All ECG waveform images are representations specifically for Lead II 3.1.1 Normal Sinus Rhythm Pressing F1 in the ECG menu takes you to the Normal Sinus Rhythm screen. The screen will show the current settings.
