  • Page 15: Test Modules

    TEST MODULES In this section are each of the Waller Patient Simulator functionalities. NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE The automatic non-invasive measurement of blood pressure is performed by the oscillometric method. In this method, during cuff inflation and deflation, the compressed blood in the artery generates a pressure oscillation when the cuff pressure is between systolic and diastolic pressure, with the peak of this oscillation occurring at mean pressure.
  • Page 16 Settings On Waller’s home screen, the first option at the top is the non-invasive blood pressure module. There we can see the following options: Pressure. Leakage. NIBP. Frequency. Chart.
  • Page 17 Pressure: indicates the numerical value of system pressure. Leakage: option to perform pressure tests and verify leakage in the system. By clicking on this option it is possible to select the test time and start the verification. After counting the selected time, the pressure variation obtained in the test is shown.
  • Page 18 1. Connect a T (adapter) between the pressure line to be tested; 2. On one side of the T (adapter), connect a hand pump system; 3. On the other, connect the device or system to validate leakage; 4. Connect the third outlet to Waller.
  • Page 19 NIBP: option to select different non-invasive blood pressure values. Waller allows six different pre-configured NIBP points, allowing tests with systolic pressures from 60 to 170 mmHg and diastolic pressures from 30 to 125 mmHg. Simply click on the desired option and return to the home screen.
  • Page 20 Chart: in this space, the pressure curve is represented in real-time. Thus, you can visualize the operation dynamics during the performance test, whether simulating a patient signal or checking for leakage.

  • Page 21: Electrocardiogram

    ELECTROCARDIOGRAM The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the recording of the heart’s electrical activity through electrodes placed on the body surface. It represents the sum of all electrical activities that occur at each instant of the cardiac cycle. The sequence of electrical events that result in the systole/diastole cycle propagates through the conductive volume of the thorax.
  • Page 22 The device is prepared to meet the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and AHA (American Heart Association) standards. *last page...
  • Page 23 Assembly It is necessary to place the electrodes on each point to perform the ECG test, as indicated in Waller.
  • Page 24 Settings The second module presented in the Waller home screen is the ECG module. There we can see the following options: Signal. Amplitude. Frequency. Respiration. Signal: option to select different types of signals. When clicking on the option, a screen with the available choices will be displayed.
  • Page 25 Amplitude: option to select different amplitude levels of the chosen signal. The amplitude level ranges from 0.5 mV to 2.5 mV, changing from every 0.5 mV. Frequency: option to select different frequency values. The frequency value changes according to the chosen signal type. Respiration: option to select different respiration values.

  • Page 26: Temperature

    When enabling it, the choice of reference derivation between DII and DIII must be made. This varies for each monitor. Simply check with the data of the test device in question and select the option to test. When returning to the previous menu, the respiration value selection option becomes active, allowing the respiration rate to be chosen from 15 to 150 respirations per minute.
