METRON QA-45 User Manual

4. Battery Eliminator
METRON’s AC Adapter plug-in power supply transformer al-
lows you to use the QA-45 anywhere a standard electrical outlet
is available. To attach the AC Adapter insert the adapter’s small
connector into the micro jack labeled “Batt. Elim. 9V DC” on
the right rear of the unit. Plug the large connector into the near-
est standard electrical outlet.
2.4 Internal Paddles
To be able to test defibrillators with internal paddles, an internal
paddle adapter has to be used. These contacts have a banana plug
that is attached to the standard paddle contact, and which is pro-
tected by a plastic insulation washer.
2.5 Special Contacts
Certain defibrillators (automatic models and those with pacer op-
tions) have special contacts that are fastened to the electrodes at-
tached to the patient. Metron AS has special adapters to suit the ma-
jority of these defibrillators. These are available as accessories.
They are more or less the same as the internal pad adapter except
that they have a special adapter on the top, which matches the con-
tact on the defibrillator.

Pacemaker external load cable (specify type pacemaker type): (P/N 13415)
2.6 PRO-Soft QA-40M/45
PRO-Soft QA-40M/45 is a front-end test automation and presenta-
tion tool for METRON's QA-40M/45 Defibrillator/Transcutaneous
Pacemaker Analyzer. It allows you to conduct the same tests, but
by remote control via an IBM-compatible PC/XT with MS Windows
(Version 3.1 or later). Additionally, the program has additional fea-
tures to enhance your defibrillator and pacemaker maintenance.
Each of the QA-40M/45 tests can be run independently from PRO-
Soft in the “Manual” test mode. Results are shown on the PC screen
during testing, and the user is prompted to set the tested equipment
accordingly. At the conclusion of tests, the user may print a report,
store the test and results on disk, or both. Combinations of tests can
be created and stored as “Test Sequences.” The program maintains a
library of these sequences. In this way you can store and retrieve se-
quences that are appropriate for each kind of equipment being tested
at your facility.
Sequences can then be used independently, or can be attached to a
checklist, written procedure, and equipment data in the form of a
test “Protocol.” The equipment data can be entered manually into
the protocol, or it may be retrieved by PRO-Soft from database soft-
ware or other equipment files. Protocols can be created easily for
each defibrillator or transcutaneous pacemaker in your inventory,
and stored for use. Test protocols with results can be printed, or
NOTE
Remove the batteries and dis-
connect the AC Adapter if you
do not intend to use the QA-45
for an extended period of time.
NOTE
PRO-Soft QA-40M/45 has its
own user manual, which con-
tains all the information con-
cerning the program. If you or-
der a demonstration version of
the program you also receive
the manual.
