Note: The QA-1290 has an internal fixed volume that is used to simu- late the cuff once the simulation begins . By connecting the inlet port and cuff port of the QA-1290 together and then to the monitor under test testing can be done without an external cuff connected.

  • Page 23: Blood Pressure Testing

    This chapter describes step-by-step procedures for conducting QA- 1290 blood pressure testing. Blood pressure simulation is the most complex of the QA-1290’s functions. It simulates a number of different patient conditions, each of which can be selected by the operator. These conditions include a large number of systolic, diastolic and heart rate values, as well as different types of irregular pulses.

    A/D with SPI-bus interface to the micro controller. The hardware SPI on the micro controller is not used, as the pins are used for other purposes. Instead the SPI is implemented in QA-1290’s firmware, using ordinary I/O-port pins. The communication uses the signals MOSI, MISO, SCKB (SPI-signals) and AD_CS (chip select).

    One is that the buzzer on the processor board is not used and is not fitted. A buzzer on the QA-1290 board is used instead. The second is that Pin 3 on J60 is strapped to pin 13 on U1300 instead of +5V.

  • Page 45: Pneumatic System

    8.4 Pneumatic System The pneumatics and drivers are the QA-1290’s mechanical parts that deal with the air pressure and pulse generation, and their electrical drivers. This involves the electrically operated air valves that control airflow with the cylinder and piston. These are, in turn, controlled by the stepper motor in order to generate pulses.

  • Page 46: Power Supply

    This is detected by the monitor, which then starts to release the pressure slowly while simultaneously monitoring the pulses. 4. QA-1290’s firmware calculates the pulse strength on the basis of the pressure measured. This makes the pulse envelope look like the pulse envelope of a human.
