Overview

 

The PS415 is a high-performance multiparameter patient simulator for testing full-function monitors. Compact and lightweight, the handheld PS415 provides the versatile features and convenience to meet the needs of mobile field service technicians.

The device features 12-lead ECG output, two invasive blood-pressure channels, a wide range of arrhythmia selections, and respiration and temperature simulation. With its affordable price and broad capability, the PS415 provides one of the best cost-benefit ratios among simulators on the market today.

Technicians control the PS415 with manual commands or onboard autosequences. A convenient pullout card provides quick menu access for all the manual simulations, and the front panel features an easy-to-use soft-key interface
