About the Simulator…
The NASCO
Life/form
®
Blood Pressure
Simulator is designed for years of main
tenance free operation as a training tool
for not only the nurse, doctor, or pre hospital healthcare provider, but also for
anyone involved
in the training of health
care professionals.
The NASCO
Life/form
®
Blood Pressure
Simulator has digitally recorded blood
pressure sounds that can be varied by pulse
rate and volume. The different Korotkoff
phases can be identified and an optional
auscultatory gap can be selected. A pal
pable radial pulse is present in the wrist.
For additional uses, purchase the Blood
Pressure Speaker System (SB20146U) for
group demonstrations or review.
List of Components
1. Case
2. Arm with speaker wire
3. Electronic control unit
4. 6 “AA” batteries
5. Sphygmomanometer
General Instructions for Use:
Installing the Batteries
Take the Blood Pressure Electron ic
Control Unit from the box and turn it over,
placing it face down onto a padded work
surface. Locate the “Open” compartment
on the back of the panel where the bat
teries are to be installed. (See figure
1.) Place your thumb or index finger on
the “Open” compartment and push up.
This will open the battery compart
ment. The compartment is marked as to
the “+” and “–” positions of the batteries.
The battery bracket is now accessible to
the user.
Install 6 “AA” batteries as indicated by
the orientation diagram embossed in the
bottom of the bracket. It is recommend
ed that alkaline b atteries be used for
increased battery life. After the batteries
have been properly installed, reassemble
the Blood Pressure Simulator by simply
reversing the disass embly procedures.
Place the unit face up on the work surface and turn it on by pressing the on/off
switch on the top right of the
unit. (See
figure 2.) Observe the display and verify
that a readable display is pre
sent, indicat-
ing proper battery installation.
Note: The control box has a ba ttery
saving feature which will turn the unit off
after about 8-10 minutes if no keys are
used within that period of time.
Take the T-fitting and insert it between
the two ends of tubing that were
previ-
ously cut. (See figure 15.) Assemble
the
portion of pressure line tubing over the
remaining barbed end on the T-fitting.
(See figure 16.)
Lastly, take the loose end of the tub
-
ing and push the female luer fitting into
it. (See figure 17.) Attach the female
luer fitting to the fitting marked CUFF at
the top of the unit. Once all of the nec
essary connections have been properly
made, go to the section titled “Calibration
Procedures” and calibrate the unit. When
the calibration procedures have been
completed, the simulator is ready for use.

The next step is to connect the simulated arm and speaker assembly along
with the sphygmomanometer cuff and
gauge assembly included with the unit.
First, locate the end of the pressure line
attached to the sphygmomanometer that
has the female luer fitting attached to
it. Attach this to the male luer fitting at
the top of the unit marked CUFF. (See
figure 3.) After the pressure line fitting
has been properly installed, locate the
plug that is at the end of the wire which
extends from the simulated arm assembly.
Insert the plug from the arm into the
jack at the top of the unit marked ARM.
