End-tidal CO
2 
test (option)
To verify the mainstream end-tidal CO2, refer to the CO2 chapter in the 
Dash 3000/4000/5000 Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual. This test 
requires you perform a zero and reference check by using the sample 
cells provided on the end-tidal CO2 cable. 
For instructions on verifying sidestream end-tidal CO2 and setting the 
sample line to zero, refer to the CO2 module operator instructions.
Battery tests
1. Check battery power for both batteries.
 Unplug the patient monitor (or the docking station) from AC 
power and open the battery door. Verify one LED in the battery 
compartment is on (batteries must have more than 10% charge).
 Pull that battery out and verify the other LED lights, thus 
indicating the unit is powered by the other battery.
 Reinstall battery and plug in patient monitor to a wall outlet (or 
the docking station).
Graph or print tests (option)
Communication confirmation
Confirm communication across the network as follows.
1. Admit and generate a waveform at the patient monitor with a 
simulator.
2. Press Print and observe graph output at chosen locations.
