  Clinical: Pressure Control Units: PCU-2000

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.
