Introduction; Respiration; Setting The Respiration Lead And Baseline - Fluke Biomedical MPS450 Operator's Manual

Introduction

The MPS450 also simulates to other bodily functions: Respiration and Temperature. This
chapter explains how to simulate these functions through the front-panel controls and
Numeric-Control mode.

Respiration

The MPS450 sets the respiration lead as either left arm or left leg. Respiration rate,
baseline (impedance, between two limb leads), and amplitude (impedance variation) are
adjustable to preconfigured settings. Values for respiration lead and baseline are storable.
The MPS450 also offers a selection of preconfigured apnea simulations.

Setting the Respiration Lead and Baseline

The MPS450 sends the respiration signal to the lead for either the left arm (LA, the
default) or left leg (LL). If the setting for left leg is stored, it becomes the new power-on
default.
For baseline impedance, the MPS450 simulates four preconfigured settings (ohms): 500;
1000 (the default); 1500; or 2000. Optionally, any of these settings can be stored to
become the new power-on default.
Action in the Menu-Control Mode
1. Press the top-menu key labeled SETUP to display the LCD screen:
2. Select RESP to scroll to the LCD screen RESPIRATION CONFIG. If the settings
for respiration lead and baseline impedance have not been changed, the screen
displays the default settings (LA and 1000 OHMS):
3. To change the respiration lead, select LEAD.
4. To adjust the respiration base, select BASE to scroll to the desired setting.
5. The values identified on the LCD screen are active when displayed and remain active
until the settings are changed. (Settings other than defaults do not persist beyond the
current session unless they have been stored specifically.)
6. To store the settings for respiration lead and baseline, select STORE. On the LCD
screen, Storing blinks for a moment to indicate the selected values are being saved.
