PCU-2000 Pressure Control Unit
with Patient Isolation
The PCU-2000 Pressure Control unit is a two-channel, patient-isolated, line-powered amplifier/interface unit for connecting one or two Millar Mikro-Tip catheters to a CE-approved pressure monitor and data acquisition system. Each channel has an electrically isolated input for patient safety. The analog output signal level of 1V/100 mmHg is compatible with most pressure monitors and data acquisition systems.

PCU-2000 Features
CE approved
Patient isolated
Supports one dual-sensor or two single-sensor Mikro-Tip
catheters
Line powered
The in-line power supply adapts to line voltages from
100 to 240 volts AC. Its power cord is long enough to allow the power
supply to be positioned well out of the field of operation.
The PCU-2000 provides electrically isolated bridge
excitation and signal amplification for each channel as well as separate
balance, or zero, controls. Lighted push button switches provide calibration
signals equivalent to 0, 25, 100 and 125 mmHg on each channel. A Standby/Transducer
switch allows the operator to reset zero and recalibrate during a procedure
with the transducer in place in the subject.
LED bar graphs visually confirm transducer functionality.
Pressure input connectors are color-coded Redel style, while pressure
output connectors are 1/4-inch phone plug style. Pressure output cables
are sold separately. The CE-approved PCU2000 is the latest addition to
Millar's line of pressure control units.
