Pressure Control Units and Accessories

Interface Solutions for Accurate Pressure Data

Our Pressure Control Units are compatible with a variety of pre-clinical and clinical catheters, offering quick calibration and dynamic zeroing for accurate pressure measurements.

TC-510 Pressure Control Unit

The TC-510 is a passive interface that connects pressure transducers to clinical monitors, such as most standard cath lab systems. Key features include:

  • Bridge Amplifier Compatibility: Connection to a bridge amplifier is possible if your setup requires. Direct connection to a clinical monitor is the standard pathway, however.
  • Calibration Features: Includes internal circuit for electrical zeroing and 100 mmHg calibration signal.
  • Standard Connectivity: Uses a 9-pin sub-D output connector (monitor interface cable required).
  • Monitor Requirements: Must be used with monitors that provide patient isolation.

Ideal for cath labs that need accurate, reliable integration with strain gauge pressure monitors.

PCU-2000 Pressure Control Unit with Patient Isolation

The PCU-2000 is a dual-channel, patient-isolated, line-powered bridge amplifier designed for easy integration with patient monitors and data systems. Key features include:

  • Dual-Channel Support: Connects up to two single-sensor Millar Mikro-Tip® catheters.
  • Built-in Bridge Excitation: Eliminates the need for an external bridge amplifier.
  • Patient Safety: Electrically isolated inputs ensure safe operation.
  • Universal Output Compatibility: Provides a 1V/100 mmHg analog output signal, compatible with most monitors and data acquisition systems.
  • Flexible Power Supply: Auto-adapts to 100–240V AC with a long cord to keep the power source outside the sterile field.

A versatile, safety-focused solution for accurate catheter-based pressure monitoring.

Control Units and Accessories FAQ

What is the difference between the TC-510 and PCU-2000 Pressure Control Units?

The TC-510 is a passive interface control unit, ideal for connection to a clinical monitor. The PCU-2000 is a powered, two-channel bridge amplifier with built-in excitation and patient isolation.

Which Millar catheters are compatible with the TC-510 and PCU-2000?

Both units support a variety of pre-clinical and clinical catheters. Always confirm compatibility based on your catheter model and monitor setup.

What monitoring systems do Millar Pressure Control Units support?

Millar control units are designed to interface with most standard cath lab monitors and standalone data acquisition systems using analog voltage outputs (typically 1V/100 mmHg).

What voltage range does the PCU-2000 power supply support?

The in-line power supply automatically adapts to 100–240V AC and includes a long cord for flexible placement outside the sterile field. The PCU-2000 should be used with the included power cord.
