Temperature Test
To perform this test, you need a patient simulator (with 0.1
o
C or 0.2
o
F). Perform the
following test for each temperature connector in use.
To test the performance of the temperature measurement:
5
Select the IBP waveform and then press the wheel to open the <Pressure>
Waveform Menu.
6
Select the IBP Zero button and then press the wheel to begin zeroing the
pressure.
The <Pressure> Waveform Menu closes. The message, IBP Zero - In
Progress,
appears in the IBP Waveform pane.
7
Configure the patient simulator as P (static) = 200 mmHg.
Note — To configure the patient simulator to 200 mmHg, use the blood
pressure menu on the monitor to set 0 – 300 on the scale menu.
8
Ensure that the IBP waveform is at 200 mmHg.
9
Change the sweep speed to 25 mm/sec.
10
Wait for the displayed waveform and make sure that the IBP waveform
corresponds to a steady pressure of 200 mmHg ± 5 mmHg.
11
If the value is outside these tolerances, check the sensor.
12
If you still do not get the expected results, see “IBP Problems” on
page 3-12.
Note — Philips employees record this value as IBP(1 or 2):P or IBP(1 or 2):F.
Step
1
Connect the patient simulator to the temperature connector on the
monitor or measurement server extension.
2
Configure the patient simulator to 40
o
C (100
o
F).
3
Wait for the monitor to display the static temperature value.
The value should be 40
o
C ± 0.2
o
C (100
o
F ± 0.4
o
F).
4
If the value is not within tolerance, see “Temperature Measurement
Problems” on page 3-9.
Philips employees record this value as T(1 or 2):P or T(1 or 2):F
