A simulator cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter monitor or a SpO
2
sensor. Instead,
it can only verify that whether the monitor is functional. The accuracy of a pulse oximeter monitor or a
SpO
2
sensor needs to be verified by clinical data.
4.4.4 NIBP Tests
See section 4.2.24.2.2NIBP Tests.
4.4.5 Temp Test
Tools required:
Resistance box (with accuracy above 0.1 Ω)
1. Connect the two pins of any Temp connector of a module to the two ends of the resistance box using two wires.
2. Set the resistance box to 1354.9 Ω (corresponding temperature is 37ºC).
3. Verify each Temp channel of the monitor and make sure that the displayed value is within 37±0.1ºC.
4.4.6 IBP Tests
Performance Test
Tools required:
Medsim300B patient simulator, MPS450, or other equivalent equipment
Dedicated IBP adapter cable (300B, P/N 00-002199-00) (use P/N 00-002198-00, if the simulator is MPS450)
1. Connect the patient simulator to the monitor's IBP connector.
2. Set the patient simulator output to the IBP channel to 0 mmHg.
3. Press the Zero key on the module to make a zero calibration.
4. Set static pressure to 200 mmHg on the patient simulator.
5. The displayed value should be within 200±2 mmHg.
6. If the value is outside of these tolerances, calibrate the IBP module. If the IBP module was calibrated with a
dedicated reusable IBP sensor, check the calibration together with this IBP sensor.
7. Make the patient simulator outputs 120/80 mmHg ART signals and 120/0 mmHg LV signals respectively to each IBP
channel and check that the IBP wave is displayed correctly.
