Zeus Defibrillation Simulator: Product Information

The Zeus is a testing device used to measure the defibrillation protection of medical equipment (such as ECG recorders) and the accessories (such as patient cables, vacuum systems, electrodes).

It is used:

• In development departments of medical engineering companies
• For type checking
• In test laboratories as TÜV or Dekra.

Depending on the model variant (Zeus or Zeus 25/400) the Zeus allows the standardized testing of the defibrillation protection e.g. in accordance with the standards EN 60601-1, point 17 h and EN 60601-2-25 or EN 60601-2-27 point 17.101aa, 60601-2-26 and 60601-2-49 respectively.

For your safety, the Zeus provides the following safety equipment:

• Two-hand operation for charge and discharge
• High-voltage activation by a key switch
• Protective cover with safety switch for the electrode plugs
• Automatic shutdown of the capacitor.

The Zeus ist a portable device which provides the following functions:

• The test voltage can be increased steplessly up to 5 kV.
• A 10-core patient cable with banana-type plugs or clips can be connected directly to the device.
• The device has an integrated 10-Hz sine-wave generator.
• Oscilloscope and test terminal connectors allow dynamic tests for limitation of energy at different parts of the device under test.
• The polarity selector switch is used to switch the polarity of the test voltage. This makes it easier to repeat every test with reversed polarity as required by the standards.
• The voltage and the selected polarity are shown in an LCD display.
• Zeus 25/400: BNC socket for measuring the energy drop on devices (conversion set available for former models).
