tamper-resistant Quality Seal is removed or broken without proper factory authorization. We strongly
recommend, therefore, that you send your instrument to Fluke Biomedical for factory service and calibration,
especially during the original warranty period.
In all cases, breaking the tamper-resistant Quality Seal should be avoided at all cost, as this seal is the key
to your original instrument warranty. In the event that the seal must be broken to gain internal access to the
instrument (e.g., in the case of a customer-installed firmware upgrade), you must first contact Fluke
Biomedical’s technical support department at 702-883-3400. You will be required to provide us with the
serial number for your instrument as well as a valid reason for breaking the Quality Seal. You should break
this seal only after you have received factory authorization. Do not break the Quality Seal before you have
contacted us! Following these steps will help ensure that you will retain the original warranty on your
instrument without interruption.

Defibrillator Section
The simulator has three training scenarios each with a preprogrammed series of ECG
waveforms that require clinical intervention with a cardiac defibrillator. The operator
interacts with these scenarios by either manually selecting functions on the simulator
keyboard, or inputting an attenuated defibrillator discharge signal through the "SYNC"
input. This stimulus can be generated by discharging a defibrillator into a Fluke
Biomedical defibrillator analyzer. Just connect the analyzer's 1000:1 oscilloscope output
to the simulator's "SYNC" input to automatically sequence the ECG waveforms.

Menu Overview
Main Menu
The MAIN MENU—"FUNCTION SELECT"—offers eight main function groups, from
which all other selections are made.
The eight main function group menus are discussed in detail in the MENU
SELECTIONS section later in this chapter.
Located at the end of this chapter is a condensed listing of these menus.
Movement through Menus
When a menu choice is made by pressing the function key directly below the displayed
selection (<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, or <F4>), the display changes to show the menu for that
choice.
Using the function keys creates downward movement through the menus, one level at a
time. Pressing the <up arrow> moves back up through the menus, one level at a time.
Executable Parameter Values
At the lowest menu level are the executable parameter values. These executable
parameter values are indicated in lower case letters, such as, "baseline bpm - 30, 60, 80,
120, 160, 200, 240, 300"; while the other menus are presented in upper case letters: for
instance, "ECG - BASE, PERF, ARRH, PVC, PACE, INS".
A flashing display indicates that a selection is active. If an illegal key is pressed, three
quick beeps sound.
Some functions save the values in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). Such a save is
indicated by a single long beep after a short delay.
Step Menus
Several functions have step menus. Step menus allow for stepping, either manually or
automatically, through the available parameter values.
Setting the parameter for the ECG baseline amplitude exemplifies how a step menu
functions. To illustrate—from the FUNCTION SELECT MENU:
1. Press <F1>-ECG, then press <F1>-BASE, and then press <F2>-AMP.
Your display now appears like this:

In the step menu, the top display line indicates the name of the parameter being
modified and a value for it. If the value shown (illustrated above as "#.##") is
active, it flashes.
2. Press <F1>-DOWN or <F2>-UP to decrement or increment the displayed value.
3. Press <F3>-EXC to execute the displayed value.
4. Press <F4>-AUTO and the bottom display line changes as follows:
ecg amp, lead II: #.## mv
downupstrtman
<F1><F2><F3><F4>
In this mode, use of the <Fl>-DOWN key and the <F2>-UP key decrements and
increments the displayed value, and immediately executes the selected value
without requiring a separate "execute" key.
Note
Use of the <F4>-MAN key returns to the previous mode.
5. To activate the automatic stepping mode, press the <F3>-STRT key and the
display changes to:
ecg amp, lead II: #.## mv
downupstop
<F1><F2><F3><F4>
At this point, the parameter is automatically stepping at a predetermined rate
(refer to the "Specifications" chapter). Upon reaching either limit, the stepping
switches directions and continues.

In the cardioversion ("CARD") mode, the pulse must be synchronized with the R-wave
and must come within 100 ms (before or after) the peak of the R-wave. If the pulse signal
is inserted within this time window, the simulator is defibrillated successfully. If the
pulse signal is inserted outside this time window, the ECG waveform changes to
ventricular fibrillation, and the simulator can then be defibrillated back to a normal
waveform.
The successful defibrillation waveform for all series is a negative pulse that takes
3 seconds to recover to a flat line, then 3 nodal beats at 30 BPM, then 6 nodal beats at
60 BPM, and ends with continuous normal beats at 80 BPM.
The waveform for an unsuccessful defibrillation, when in cardioversion, is the same
negative pulse and 3 seconds of recovery followed by ventricular fibrillation.

Operators Manual
RS-232 Serial Port Operation
Overview
All functions, except utilities and switch settings, can be controlled remotely via RS-232
serial port operation.
Note
A specialized cable, available from Fluke Biomedical, is required for RS232 remote control. Refer to the current Fluke Biomedical Price List for
availability, part number information, and price.
Baud rate is adjustable to 300, 600, 1200, or 2400 from the UTILITY MENU as shown in
the previous section. Parity is off and there are 2 stop bits.
Remote commands can be sent in lower case or in upper case letters and all command
strings must be terminated with a carriage return [CR] and/or a line feed [LF]; that is,
[command][CR][LF]. Illegal entries cause the error message "? CR LF" to be returned,
and legal entries return "
*
CR LF". This process can take up to one second during which
time all other inputs are ignored.
The function entered is displayed on the front panel display of the medSim 300B.
To prevent functional inconsistencies, some commands can cause changes in certain
parameters: for example, entering an arrhythmia turns off PVCs per minute, and starting
Swan-Ganz sets ECG to normal sinus rhythm.
