Abstract :
This paper presents a real-time digital simulator (DRTS) for possible use in testing of medical devices. The simulator runs a model of a physiological system (an organ or a group of organs) in real time and uses A/D and D/A cards to interface the simulation results to real medical equipment. With this simulator, the tests can be made as thorough as needed without much increase in cost
