The TC-510 Pressure Control Unit is a passive interface between the pressure sensor of anystandardized sensitivity Mikro-Tip® catheter and strain gauge pressure monitors or recordingsystems which supply bridge excitation voltage and have balance and calibration controls forfull-bridge strain gauge pressure transducers.The TC-510 contains circuitry which facilitates monitor setup. In the STANDBY (0) positionthe TC-510 provides an electrical zero. In the 100 mmHg (13.3 kPa) position the TC-510provides a signal equal to 100 mmHg (13.3 kPa) at a sensitivity of 5 μV/V/mmHg. Thetransducer is operational in the TRANSDUCER position and the TRANSDUCER BALANCEcontrol allows balancing of the transducer
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.
