and performance tests to be made on the Instrument other than NBP calibration
and sidestream CO

calibration.
b.When authorized Philips personnel service the Instrument, they report the results
of Preventive Maintenance testing back to Philips. The collected data forms a
database to be used in product development. It is not necessary for hospital
personnel to report results.

make sure the Instrument measurement results are accurate. These specific tests
are required for the NBP parameter and for the sidestream CO

parameter.
