Description
Telectronics Pacing Systems 190-6599 ISA Heart Simulator Card 8-Bit PC
The Telectronics Pacing Systems 190-6599 is an 8-bit ISA expansion card designed to simulate cardiac electrical signals for use in pacemaker and cardiac pacing system development, testing, and calibration. The card installs into a standard 8-bit ISA slot and interfaces with external hardware via a DB-9 connector on the bracket, providing a repeatable, controllable cardiac waveform output for engineering and quality-assurance applications.

Applications
Heart simulator cards like the Telectronics 190-6599 were used in the development, bench testing, and quality verification of implantable cardiac pacemakers and related pacing systems. By generating controlled electrical waveforms that mimic cardiac activity, the card allowed engineers and technicians to test pacemaker hardware and software responses without requiring a live patient or animal subject. Telectronics Pacing Systems was an Australian-founded cardiac rhythm management company that developed implantable pacemakers and defibrillators from the 1970s through the 1990s before being acquired by Pacesetter/St. Jude Medical. ISA-based simulator cards like this one were common in R&D and manufacturing test environments of that era, installed in standard PC-compatible workstations running DOS-based test software. Today these cards are primarily sought by engineers maintaining or reverse-engineering legacy pacing test systems, by medical device historians, and by institutions that still operate original Telectronics test benches.
This Telectronics Pacing Systems 190-6599 ISA Heart Simulator Card has been inspected and is in good condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use and functional. The PCB is clean with no visible damage, cracked traces, or missing components. The DB-9 bracket connector and ISA edge connector both appear in good shape. Normal handling marks are present on the card consistent with prior installation. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
