the Millar PCU-2000 Pressure Control
f To calibrate a Vevo-supported blood pressure instrument:
1. Connect the pressure instrument to the Advanced Physiological Monitoring
Unit and ensure that the Advanced Physiological Monitoring Unit is
connected to the Vevo 2100 Imaging System at the Physio Data connector on
the rear panel of the system. Ensure that all three systems are powered on.
2. Open an image mode window by beginning to acquire data in any imaging
