METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIMULATION OF PRESSURE TRANSDUCER FOR MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD PRESSURE
摘要
Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method for utilizing a pressure transducer simulator that is configured for use with a pressure sensor device and a patient monitoring device. The pressure transducer simulator may be configured to generate a simulation of the output of an analog pressure sensing device to be compatible with the patient monitoring device. The simulation may be based upon a pressure signal received from the pressure sensor device. In one embodiment, the pressure transducer simulator includes a digital potentiometer that is configured to generate an analog signal based upon the pressure signal received from the pressure sensor device and wherein the digital potentiometer is configured to transmit the analog signal to the patient monitoring device.
