To test the C.O. performance:
Safety Tests
Use the following safety test procedures to verify safe installation or service of the
monitor. The setups and the acceptable ranges of values used for these tests are
derived from local and international standards, but may not be equivalent. These tests
are not a substitute for local safety testing where it is required for an installation or a
service event. If you use the Metron Safety tester, perform the tests in accordance with
your local regulations. For example, in Europe, use IEC 60601-1 and in the United
States, use ES 60601-1. The Metron Report should print results with the names listed
below, together with other data.
Step
1
Connect the patient simulator to the C.O. connector on the side of the
monitor.
2
Verify that the patient simulator is configured to the following settings:
• Injection temperature: 2°C
• Computation constant: 0.542 (Edward’s Catheter)
• Flow: 5 l/min

On the main screen, select the C.O. pane.
The C.O. Menu appears.
4
Set the Catheter Type to Other.

Verify that the Computation Constant is the same setting as the simulator.
7
Select the Start Measurement button.
8
Check the displayed value against the simulator configuration.
• C.O. = 5.0 l/min ± 1.0 l/min
9
Connect the C.O. interface cable to the monitor.

Connect one side or the service tool to the injectate receptacle of the C.O.
interface cable and the other side to the catheter cable receptacle.
