1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the BC Biomedical Model PLA Pacer Load Adapter The PLA works with the BC Biomedical Defibrillator Pacemaker Analyzer to provide a range of simulated patient loads for transthoracic or external invasive pacemakers A total load resistance of 500 1000 3000 5000 6000 10000 or 15009 may be selected to meet the requirements of various pacemaker manufacturers The PLA includes 1 protective electrode cover black 1 banana test lead red e 1 adapter 2mm female to 4mm male e 1 adapter 4mm female to 2mm male CAUTION NOTE WARNINGS Discharge of high energy defibrillator pulses through the PLA will damage the PLA load resistors The PLA is designed for a maximum RMS current of 50mA at any input This is equivalent to a rectangular current pulse of 200 mA with a pulse width of 20 mS and a rate of 180 pulses per minute 3 pulses per second To calculate the RMS the square root of the mean of the square current in a rectangular pulse waveform with a pulse amplitude of 0 2 A a pulse width of 20 mS and a period of 333 mS The square of the amplitude is 0 2 0 2 0 04 the mean average of the squared waveform over one period is 0 04 20 333 0 00240 and the square root of this average is 0 049A OPERATION WITH DA 2000P and DEFIBRILLATOR WITH TRANSTHORACIC PACEMAKER Additional Equipment Needed 2 alligator clips P N 480092. 1 2mm female to 4mm male banana jack 1 banana test lead 1 Attach the PLA to either paddle electrode of the DA 2000P by placing it on top of the electrode See Figure 1 2 Cover the other DA 2000P electrode with the black protective cover that is included with the PLA This cover is a safety feature designed to limit contact with the exposed electrode 3 Cut the two pacer pads off the set of pacer leads from the defibrillator and discard the pads 4 Attach the two alligator clips to the two banana test leads 5 Connect the alligator clips to the cut ends of the defibrillator pacer leads NOTE A more permanent set of test leads can be made by adding banana plugs to the ends of cut off pacer pad cables 6 Connect one of the banana plugs to the desired load impedance on the PLA and connect the other banana plug to the other electrode through the safety cover 7 Follow the DA 2000P User s Guide instructions for pacemaker testing T Defibrillator Test leads Cut off pacer pads Cover Paddle electrodes Figure 1 Connecting PLA 2000 and Defibrillator IV SPECIFICATIONS Input Connections Output Connections Load Selection Load Impedance Enclosure Seven banana jacks provide input connections Inputs are labeled with the total load impedance in ohms The banana jacks mate with standard size banana plugs 0 166 diameter by 9 16 long The output of the L
