vPad-A1 OPERATORS MANUAL
CHANNEL 1 ONLY
• Swan-Ganz AUTO 15 sec (Manual Pause)
• Swan-Ganz AUTO 25 sec (Manual Pause)
• Swan-Ganz Cycle (Manual Advance)
Swan-Ganz cycles are only available for Channel 1 Simulation. These options simulate the insertion
and extraction of a Swan-Ganz catheter. When an “AUTO” cycle is active, the module will
automatically step through the following waveforms and repeat until another IBP simulation is
selected:
Insertion ... Central Venous Pressure
º Right Ventricle
º Pulmonary Artery
º Pulmonary Artery Wedge
Extraction ... º Pulmonary Artery
º Right Ventricle
º Central Venous Pressure
A button allows users to stop the cycle from advancing. When pressed, the button is
replaced by a button that resumes the cycle.
If the newly chosen Swan-Ganz option is not “AUTO”, the module will begin simulating the first
waveform in the cycle above but remain in a paused state. It will only advance to the next waveform
in the cycle when the button is pressed.
To simulate noise in DBP waveforms for both channels, select the Artifacts option in the second
dropdown menu. The following selections are available:
Artifact Off
5% for Arterial, Radial, and Left Ventricle waveforms, or 5mmHg for others
10% for Arterial, Radial, and Left Ventricle waveforms, or 10mmHg for others
To change the
Transducer Sensitivity, select the parameter from the second dropdown menu and
select a setting from the list that appears. Options available are 5 μV/V/mmHg and 40
μV/V/mmHg.
