Index

IMPORTANT: The set-up, operation and care of this model are explained herein. To ensure successful use of this model, review and understand instructions thoroughly before use and follow them as described. As many of our materials, particularly those that simulate in vivo tissue, are fragile, they may be sensitive to environmental or handling conditions (i.e. extremes of temperature and humidity) that will affect their ultimate shelf life. To ensure the maximum shelf life possible, please keep all simulated tissue in a temperature-controlled environment and free from exposure to conditions that might cause them to fail. To avoid distorting the tissue surfaces always repack trainer parts in their original packaging without compression by contact with other objects such as devices and instruments. To ensure the longest useful life of the trainer, please handle with care and protect it when shipping or traveling.

Animating the Beating Heart

Overview

The Beating Heart Controller is the system that animates the Beating Heart. It has 4 pre-programmed heart rates: 60, 90, 120, or 160 beats per minute. The Sync function allows the heart rate to be triggered by an alternate source.
Beating Heart Controller requires a 15 VDC power supply (included) and a regulated source of compressed air.
