The twochannelPCU-2000, M.I. P/N 880-0129, is an essential interface between one dual-pressure or twosingle-pressure Mikro-Tip catheters and a CE-approved data acquisition system or patient monitor. Theunit is powered by a Millar-supplied external AC/DC power supply.The PCU-2000 pressure inputs (input channel 1 and input channel 2) are electrically isolated for patientsafety. These inputs are also protected against the effects of a cardiac defibrillator discharge. Thedischarge of a cardiac defibrillator has no effect on the operation of the PCU-2000.The pressure outputs have a sensitivity of 1V/100mmHg, which is ideally compatible with most monitorsand computer data acquisition systems. The amplifier provides bridge excitation voltage, separatebalance (zero) controls and lighted push buttons for electronic calibrations of 0, 25, 100 or 125 mmHgfor both channels.The PCU-2000 allows selection of standby mode to verify zero and calibration. The output connectorsare standard ¼-inch phone jacks. Output cables are not provided.
An electronic device that increases current, voltage, or power to intensify the electrical signal sent to or received from a transducer (e.g., electroacoustic, electro-optical, electromechanical), sometimes providing impedance matching. It will provide an electrical interface between a physiological transducer and a patient monitor or patient monitoring system that is used to monitor pressures such as, noninvasive and invasive blood pressure, oesophageal pressures, urinary tract pressures, intrauterine pressures and intraocular pressures.
