Dynatech/Nevada Patient Simulator
Modification
The factory configuration of the Dynatech/Nevada model 214A, 215A, and 217A Patient
Simulators is incompatible with the Propaq Encore monitors with IBP channels when both
the ECG and invasive pressure simulator channels are simultaneously connected to the
monitor. Erroneous readings result. The patient simulator must be modified as described
here before you can use both simulator channels with the Propaq Encore monitors with
IBP. If only one simulator channel is used, the modification is unnecessary.
Modify the patient simulator's invasive pressure cable as shown in the figure below.
Remove jumpers W1 and W2 from the patient simulator's Top PCB.
Incompatibilities with other simulators may also cause erroneous readings and/or missing
ECG. Check Propaq Encore readings with the simulator against a known source before
using the simulator for calibration.
Note
Without this modification, the monitor will select a single waveform or parameter
for display.
