Patient Interface Module (PIM) Test
This test is used to confirm that the Patient Interface Module (PIM) is communicating with the
cardiograph. This test can be performed when the cardiograph displays PIM error messages, or
when the cardiograph is unable to acquire data from the PIM. Be sure that the PIM patient data
cable is securely attached to the PIM connector on the rear of the cardiograph before
performing the test.
If this test fails, it may indicate a problem with the PIM or with the PIM patient data cable.
To perform the PIM Test
1
Touch the Patient Interface Module (PIM) Test button.
If the message
PIM Test Passed appears, the PIM is communicating properly with the
cardiograph.
2 Touch the Close button to close the window.
3 If the message PIM Test Failed appears, check that the PIM patient data cable is securely
attached to the PIM connector on the rear of the cardiograph. If the error message persists,
contact the Philips Response Center for assistance, see “Contacting a Philips Response
Center” on page 6-11.
Ping Test
This test is used to test or troubleshoot a network connection between the cardiograph and
another device or system, such as a TraceMaster ECG Management System.
To perform the Ping test:
1
Touch Ping Test.
2 Enter the IP Address to Ping. A message reports if the ping was successful.
Running the Diagnostic Tests
More comprehensive diagnostic tests and operating statistics are provided in the Diagnostic
Tests. These tests are used to identify and to troubleshoot a technical problem with the
cardiograph and require a password to access. All test results are entered in the Event log that
is displayed on the screen. Additionally, you can save all log files to a USB memory stick.
(See “Viewing and Saving Log Files” on page 3-46 for information on log files.)
The following tests are available on the Diagnostic Tests menu.
