To perform the Respiration performance test:
ECG Output Performance Test
The ECG Output performance test checks the performance of ECG synchronization
between the monitor and a defibrillator. This test needs to be performed only if this
feature is in use at your facility.
To perform this test, you need:
• Defibrillator with ECG sync cable
• Patient simulator
To test the ECG output:
NBP Test
These tests check the performance of the non-invasive blood pressure measurement:
• NBP accuracy
• NBP calibration procedure (if required)
Step
1
Change the patient simulator configuration to: Respiration rate 40 rpm.
2
Verify that the displayed respiration waveform and respiration rate (± 2
rpm) are the same as the values you selected on the patient monitor:
between 38 – 42 rpm.
3
If you do not get the expected results, see “ECG/Respiration
Measurement Problems” on page 3-11.
Note — Philips employees record this value as R:P or R:F.
Step
1
Connect the patient simulator to the ECG connector on the monitor and
the defibrillator to the ECG output on the monitor.
2
Set the patient simulator to the following configuration:
• HR = 100 bpm
• ECG sinus rhythm
3
Turn on the defibrillator in simulation mode.
4
Verify that the ECG signal is displayed.
5
If you do not get the expected results, see “ECG/Respiration Measurement
Problems” on page 3-11.
Note — Philips employees record this value as EO:P or EO:F.
