The TC-510 Pressure Control Unit is a passive interface between the Millar Mikro-Tip catheter pressure transducer and strain gauge pressure monitors which supply bridge excitation voltage and have balance and calibration controls for full-bridge strain gauge pressure transducers. The TC-510 has an internal calibration circuit to provide an electrical zero as well as a 100 mmHg calibration signal. The output connector is a standard 9-pin sub-D. A separate monitor interface cable is required.

** If replacing a TCB-500 or TCB-600 control unit, the PCU-2000 control unit is required. The TC-510 is a passive control unit and must be connected to a bridge amplifier.

Mikro-Tip Catheter Pressure Interface Cables Mikro-Tip Pressure Catheters are provided with either Viking (4-pin) or Millar Low Profile (4-pin) connectors depending on the model purchased. Catheter models with Viking connectors may connect directly to the TC-510. Connecting the catheter with a Viking connector directly to the control unit limits access to the subject or patient. It is recommended that a TEC-10C interface cable be used between the catheter and control unit. All catheters with low profile pressure connectors require a TEC-10D interface cable to the control unit. Each pressure channel requires a separate interface cable and control unit.
NOTE: Viking connectors are round with 4 pins. Low Profile connectors are flat with 4 pins. The above flexible cables facilitate maneuvering the catheter during recording. They may be sterilized and permit connection of a catheter to a Pressure Control Unit located outside the sterile field.
