vPad-A1 OPERATORS MANUAL
2.2 Tablet User Interface
The user interface of vPad-A1 is a tablet computer which runs the Google Android™ platform. The use of
an Android-based tablet provides several notable benefits:
• High resolution, full color display
• WiFi / Internet communication
• Bluetooth connection to many other products and accessories
• Access to a wide variety of useful Android apps
• On-tablet report review, transfer, and printout
2.3 AutoSettings
Simulation and testing functions of vPad-A1 have the ability to receive AutoSettings, a combination of
simulation settings representing a scenario or test condition. For instance, the Multi-Parameter Patient
Simulator can have a ‘Hypertensive’ AutoSetting, invoked by a single selection, that generates ECG at a
specific Rate and a particular Amplitude with motion Artifact. Rather than setting each ECG parameter
individually, selection of the Hypertensive AutoSetting would set all of the parameters at once.
Users can configure and save a virtually unlimited number of AutoSettings. Once an AutoSetting has been
created, it can then be used in one or more AutoSequences.
2.4 AutoSequences
An AutoSequence is a user-configurable test template which causes vPad-A1 to execute an ordered
sequence of
AutoSettings (see 5.2.1 -
AutoSettings
) from any of the test modules. Advantages of an
AutoSequence are:
• Reduced setup and testing time
• Reduced human error (e.g. neglect to perform a required test)
• Objective assessment of equipment performance (with quantitative pass/fail limits)
• Increased labour efficiency (technician can perform other tasks while a test is running)
• Automated data recording (Test Record files provide traceable documentation that equipment
was tested and allows notes for observations)
There can be a virtually unlimited number of AutoSequence files stored on the tablet.
