Follow these guidelines when inspecting the equipment:
The environment and the power supply meet the specified requirements.
Inspect the keys, control knob, connectors and accessories for damage.
Inspect the power cords for fraying or other damage and check the insulation.
The grounding cables are correctly connected.
Only specified accessories like electrodes, sensors and probes are applied.
The monitor clock is correct.
The audible and visual alarms functions normally.
The recorder functions normally and the recorder paper meets the requirement.
Batteries are in good status and can operate normally.
The defibrillator synchronization function must be verified according to your hospital regulations,
and be checked by a qualified technician once every 3 months.
In case of any damage or exception, do not use the monitor. Contact the technician in your
hospital or our Customer Service immediately.
