Connection the MPS450
The right side of the MPS450 features connections for linking to blood-pressure, cardiac-
output, and temperature monitors. In addition, there is an auxiliary connection for future
expansion. The bottom of the MPS450 features an RS-232 serial port and a connection
for a battery eliminator. Prewired cables compatible with all major manufacturers'
monitors are available for simulating functions related to blood pressure, temperature,
and cardiac-output injectate. (Call your sales representative for a complete list.)
The left side of the MPS450 features a full set of universal ECG jacks, enabling the
