II. INTRODUCTION
BC Biomedical’s MaxiSim 2000 is a high performance simulator designed to simplify patient monitor
testing, and is designed to be used by trained service technicians. It simulates electrocardiogram,
respiratio n, dynamic blood pressure and static temperature.
It offers three preprogrammed automatic test modes (ECG rate, ECG performance rate, and BP level),
plus a built-in ECG lead continuity test. Arrhythmia selectio n includes two supraventricular, twoconduction; eight ventricular,
one paced; and one fetal/maternal ECG simulation.

IV. RECEIPT, INSPECTION & RETURN
1. Inspect the outer box for damage.
2. Carefully unpack all items from the box and check to see that you have the following items:
• MaxiSim 2000 Patient Simulator
• Carrying Case
• 10 Pack, Snap-to-Banana Adapters
• MaxiSim 2000 User Manual
3. If you note physical damage, or if the unit fails to function according to specification, inform the
supplier immediately. When BC Biomedical or the company’s representative, is i nformed, measures
will be taken to either repair the unit or dispatch a replacement. The customer will not have to wait for
a claim to be investigated by the supplier. The customer should place a new purchase order to ensure
delivery.
4. When returning an i nstrument to BC Biomedical, or the company representative, fill out the address
label, describe what is wrong with the instrument, and provide the model and serial numbers. If
possible, use the original packaging material for return shippi ng. Otherwise, repack the unit using:
• A reinforced cardboard box, strong enough to carry the weight of the unit.
• At least 5 cm of shock-absorbing material around the unit.
• Nonabrasive dust-free material for the other parts.
Repack the unit in a manner to ensure that it cannot shift in the box during shipment.
BC Biomedical’s product warranty is on page 8 of this manual. The warranty does not cover freight
charges. C.O.D. will not be accepted without authorization from BC Biomedical or its representative.

The MaxiSim 2000 has a two-digit display. To the left of the LCD
display is a listing of available waveforms and two-digit codes.
Access a waveform by displaying its corresponding two-digit code.
Use the two keys below the LCD display to enter units and tens
(the right key is for units; the left is for tens). Pressing the top of
the keys increases the values, while pressing the bottom of the
keys decreases the values. The selected waveform is stored by
pressing Enter. Repeat the above procedure if you desire to store
several waveforms. By using the left-hand key (tens), you can
switch between waveforms stored in the instrument.
When the apparatus is switched on, the display will show the
program version for a short period before switching into standard
mode.
Manual ECG, High Level Output
The high level ECG output signal is a Lead II waveform with
0.5V/mV of low level Lead II. The high level ECG connection
(standard phone jack) is situated in the upper left-hand corner of
the instrument.

NOTE
Remove the batteries
and disconnect the AC
dapter if you do not
intend to use the
MaxSim 2000 for an
extended period of time.
Respiration
The respiration signal is transferred via ECG co nnections. The
position of the LEAD switch determines which lead is in use. The
position of the switch must correspond to the type of patient
monitor being used. The BASE (baseline impedance) switch sets
the impedance between each lead. The respiration parameter
(breathing rate/min.) is selected and stored in the display.
Blood P ressure
The sensitivity switch (pVN/mmHg) must be set to match the input
sensitivity of the patient monitor (either 5 or 40 pVN/ mmHg). The
waveform is selected and stored in the display. Prewired cables
and diagrams for connecting vario us types of monitors are
available from BC Biomedical. Unterminated cables are also
available.
