Respiration tests
Connect the ECG patient cable to the ECG/RESP connector of the 
patient monitor.
1. Set up the patient simulator as follows:
 Respiration (RESP) baseline impedance – 750or 1000
 RESP R – 0.5
 Select appropriate lead for RESP on simulator 
 RESP rate (respirations per minute) – 30
2. Set up the patient monitor as follows:
 RESP waveform – on
 RESP waveform lead select – lead II (RESP waveform derived 
from ECG lead II)
3. Observe the following:
 RESP parameter window appears on the patient monitor with a 
reading of 30 ±2 (respirations per minute)
 RESP waveform appears distortion-free on the patient monitor
4. Change the RESP waveform lead select of the patient monitor to lead 
I (RESP waveform derived from ECG lead I), LA at the simulator.
5. Observe the following:
 RESP parameter window appears on the patient monitor with a 
reading of 30 ±2 (respirations per minute),
 RESP waveform appears distortion-free on the patient monitor.
6. Disconnect the ECG patient cable from the ECG/RESP connector of 
the patient monitor. 
7. Proceed to the next steps in these checkout procedures.
