* This product is no longer for sale.
Major features
- Simulates movements of cardiac muscles and ventricles by a special rubber bag with a two-layer structure.
- Enables mock tests of SPECT or CT with agent contained in a double cyinder.
- Can change a contraction rate of a special rubber bag by selecting a different stroke length of a double cylinder.(Stroke range:0-40mm)
- Can select by one touch any of pulsation patterns that include 6 types of clinical data.
- Can manually change HR(heart rate).(Range:3-164 bpm)
- Compact structure that consolidates a control part, driving part and phantom.
- Lead shield is fitted between a phantom and a control part to reduce effects of scattered X-ray.
- Heart part tilted some 30 degrees against body axis.
