Overview
 One Analyzer For All Your Defibrillator & Pacer
Testing Needs.
Finally, a defibrillator and
transcutaneous pacemaker analyzer that meets the
specified pacer test load requirements of major
manufacturers (Physio-Control, Zoll Medical, MDE,
Hewlett Packard). With the Impulse 4000, you can add
optional pacer modules that provide up to four
possible test loads. These modules plug directly
into the side panel of the Impulse 4000, and can be
"activated" with just the push of a button.
That’s not all. The Impulse 4000 offers more than
other products on the market. Some standard features
include:
- Defibrillator energy,
charge time, and cardioversion testing
- Transcutaneous pacemaker
testing
- 12-lead ECG with
independent output simulation
- RS-232 port for medTester
5000B, medTester 5000C, or PC control
- 50 programmable automated
test sequences
- Standard interactive
training scenarios
- Standard interface for
defib training manikins
- Large 4-line by
40-character LCD display
Defibrillator Testing
With the flexibility to test manual and automated
defibrillators, the Impulse 4000 meets all your
energy and cardioversion analysis needs. Simply
discharge the defibrillator into the Impulse 4000
for an accurate measurement of energy, peak voltage,
peak current, pulse width, and charge time. All
information is digitally displayed on an
easy-to-read, 4-line by 40-character LCD display.
Test results can also be printed at your
convenience.
Output Energy Measurement
The Impulse 4000 measures the output energy of Lown,
Edmark, Truncated Exponential, and Trapezoidal
waveform defibrillators up to 1000 joules
(watt-seconds). For your convenience, the Impulse
4000 automatically processes each energy pulse,
displays the results, and waits for the next
defibrillator discharge.
Cardioversion
Five different ECG waveforms are standard in the
Impulse 4000 to determine the proper synchronization
of your defibrillator. The Impulse 4000 measures
actual delay time from the peak of the generated R
wave to the peak of the defib discharge waveform.
Readings are displayed in milliseconds ranging from
-120 to +380.
Automated Defib Testing
The Impulse 4000 comes standard with seven
ventricular arrhythmias that can be used to "arm"
your automated defibrillator. A list of these
waveforms can be found on the product specification
sheet.
Transcutaneous Cardiac Pacemaker
Testing
Utilizing an internal 50 ohm test
load, the Impulse 4000 base model measures pulse
amplitude, rate, and width for outputs such as
rectilinear or trapezoidal/truncated waveforms.
Additionally, the Impulse 4000 can be used to
perform specialized refractory, demand, and
detection tests without the use of auxiliary test
equipment. For your safety and convenience, the
pacer can be connected directly to the Impulse 4000
via a wide range of optional manufacturer-specific
electrode adapters.
By adding an optional
pacer module, you can take advantage of the Impulse
4000’s most powerful capability: testing a pacemaker
model according to the manufacturer-specified test
load, electrode connection, and pulse measurement
requirements. One module can do it all. The Impulse
4000 is the only analyzer on the market that offers
such ease and convenience, with up to four possible
test loads in each module. You’ll also benefit from
a hardware platform that will expand with your
needs: as new pacer models are developed, new
modules can be added to accommodate them.
Training
In addition to numerous testing
functions, the Impulse 4000 features exceptional
training capabilities. Interactive user scenarios
assist student in First Responder programs that have
training and certification requirements. Attach a
printer to document student response times, actual
energy discharge levels and cardiac event listing.
Other programs that benefit include Advanced
Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced
Life Support (PALS) training which require energy
dosage levels and interactive transcutaneous pacing.
A defib manikin interface compatible with Chris
Clean™ and Arrhythmia Anne™ manikins comes standard.
Automated Test Sequences
Customize up
to 50 automated test sequences based on the test
protocols you use most. These sequences can be
tailored for defibrillators and transcutaneous
pacers. A series of ECG performance testing and
normal sinus selections can also be automatically
sequenced to test the monitoring and recording
features of these devices.
12-Lead ECG
The Impulse 4000 also features a true 12-Lead ECG
simulation with independent outputs for testing
diagnostic devices. Outputs are color-coded
according to American Heart Association (AHA)
standards, or you may specify European color coding
at the time of your order.
