ECG Sync Performance Test
This test checks the performance of ECG synchronization between the Monitor and a
defibrillator. The ECG sync performance test is required once every two years and when the
Instrument is repaired or when Instrument parts are replaced.
Tools required:
• Defibrillator with ECG Sync and Marker Output.
• Patient simulator.
Step 1 Connect the patient simulator to the ECG connector on the Measurement server and
the defibrillator to the ECG Sync Output on the M3046A.
Step 2 Set the Patient simulator to the following configuration:
— HR = 100 bpm.
— ECG sinus rhythm.
Step 3 Switch the defibrillator to simulation mode.
Step 4 Check that the marker pulse is displayed before the T-wave begins.
