with those originally programmed in Omni.
Overview
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.
Features
PALPABLE PULSE
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 silence)
are audible between systolic and diastolic
pressures. The sounds are automatically
silenced if the auscultation gap is enabled, and
adjusted depending on the selected heart rate
and the rate of cuff deation.
AUSCULTATION
The simulator operates with a modied 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.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Follow the instructions listed in the Set Up
section to assemble the simulator.
2. Place the bell of the stethoscope on the
antecubital region of the arm.
3. Pump up the cuff until the radial pulse is
absent.
