5.2 BLOOD PRESSURE LEFT ARM (S222.100)
The Blood Pressure Training System consists of a full-size adult left arm. This is a versatile training tool developed
to assist health professionals teach the processes and skills required to perform blood pressure auscultation
procedures and techniques.
Palpable Pulses
Programmable, palpable radial pulse is present when the cuff pressure
is less than the selected systolic blood pressure.
Korotkoff Sounds
Korotkoff sounds, K1 through K4 (K5 is silent) are audible between systolic and diastolic pressures.
Depending on the selected heart rate and the rate of cuff deflation, the Korotkoff sounds will adjust
automatically. The sounds are silenced automatically if the auscultatory gap is enabled.
Auscultation
The simulator operates with a modified blood pressure cuff. Connect the BP cuff extension to the arm’s control
panel before use. Use a conventional stethoscope to auscultate Korotkoff sounds in the antecubital area.
BP Cuff Setup
1.
Connect the simulator to the OMNI
2.
Wrap the modified blood pressure
cuff around the arm above the elbow
as you would a real patient.
NOTE: Make sure to orient the cuff where the
arrow on the cuff points towards the elbow.
3.
Connect the BP cuff extension to the
adapter labeled BP on the control panel.
