EBME Forums Forums Management Medical Equipment Management Connecting Edwards Truwave IBP to ProSim 8

Hi, Please could somebody Review this attachment that I wrote around the interfacing of a Fluke ProSim 8 to Edwards LifeSciences Truwave Invasive Blood Pressure Sensor Cables ? I would like1. To check if I am right, 2. To publish this information to help anybody who searches for this. Thank You !

It would be nice for Edwards to consider this along with Fluke. I have the same trouble for a different brand of monitoring. Best of luck and please do share if you get it working.

I borrowed the Fluke IBP cable to Marquette and buzzed it out and I would never open that as it is not mine. They cost hundreds to buy but all it is is a 5 pin DIN. I used the Fluke cable to commission an Ortus Corpuls3 HBO defib-monitor. I would not like to plug my home made cable into the £44,000 Ortus Corpuls3. But it does buzz out the same as the proper cable. I sent my document to Muhammad at Ultramedic-Fluke. Unfortunately, this hospital disposed of all the GE Dash monitors that were surplus, and its all Philips here. I was > £800 for 2 Philips IBP and a Philips Temp to Prosim 8.

There is a lot of relevant information on the internet;

I've always made this kind of cable myself.

Hi ! did you connect wire with the resistor on it to ground like me ? Thank you for your reply ! Nice Cable !

Please refer to the attached documents

Thanks ! Maybe that ECG ref isthe one with the resistor. I did see the document with all those metron cables, mine isn't mini din or have a brown wire in, but thank you !

If you have time, you can reverse engineer the Prosim 8 IBP interface circuit schematic. This will make the connection method clearer. IBP simulation is rarely used; in actual work, the NIBP interface is used most often.

I just buzzed out the prosim cable, I have not found info in the pro sim manual but I emailed the rep he might tell me, thanks !

Have a looksie at this...

Dont forget to say thankyou
