MPS450 SERVICE MANUAL GENERAL INFORMATION
2
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this manual is to provide information that will assist a qualified technician to service
Fluke Biomedical's MPS450 Multiparameter Simulator (hereafter referred to as the MPS450).
RELATIONSHIP OF THIS MANUAL TO OTHER PUBLICATIONS
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the MPS450 Operator’s Manual (P/N 2243350), which
provides a full description of this product along with operating instructions.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The MPS450 is a lightweight, portable, battery-powered unit that provides multiple physiological
simulations for ECG, blood pressure, respiration, temperature, pacemaker, artifact, and arrhythmia
conditions.
The MPS450 is available in one model with four configurations: the basic multiparameter simulator,
the simulator with Cardiac-Output Option, the simulator with Fetal / Maternal ECG Option, and the
simulator with both options. (Options are preprogrammed at time of purchase.) The Cardiac-Output
Option requires a cardiac-output adapter box (P/N 2226808).
The microprocessor control of the MPS450, combined with extensive digital memory, assures rapid
test and verification of cardiac-monitoring medical equipment. All simulation settings are displayed on
the built-in LCD, with adjustable contrast. A keypad enables the entry of functions, parameters, and
codes. Tests and simulations can be selected by choosing menu selections, by using front-panel keys to
enter numeric codes for actions, or by using computer control.
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.
The left side of the MPS450 features a full set of universal ECG jacks, enabling the connection of any
3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG device. AHA and IEC color-coded dots run along the left side of the face of the
unit as an aid in connecting the corresponding U.S. and international patient leads to the proper
universal ECG jacks on the MPS450:
