  • Virtual testing devices are required due to rapid changes in the health care industry and the increase of the medical or nursing workforce. The importance of devices such as the simulator, blood vessels, and lab equipment for modeling blood flow to the heart is increasing too. In this study, we made heart pump by using a step motor and developed device which simulates arterial, venous blood pressure, and blood flow. We finally evaluated the function of proposed device. The proposed system is composed of the pump for simulating, the valve device to describe the resistance of the artery and vein, and a reducing device showing the characteristics of the venous system. We used BOXER pump for heart simulator and silicon tube for arterial and venous vessels, and designed a reducing device. We also used the pressure sensor to measure arterial blood pressure. For the evaluation of the proposed system, we selected a range of 50~100mmHg of the blood circuit 60 per minute and then compared the blood pressure of a person and the measured blood pressure.
