Overview

The PS420 Patient Simulator is a handheld, high-performance simulator for testing patient monitors.

Small enough to fit in a pocket, the handy PS420 features a wide variety of simulation capability, including a full range of ECG, respiration, blood pressure, temperature and cardiac output conditions. The tool includes 12-lead ECG, two-channel blood pressure simulation, 35 arrhythmia selections, pacemaker simulation as well as adult and pediatric normal sinus rhythms.

For convenient use, labelled hot keys on the keypad guide users to the most common settings.
