Physio Control LIFEPAK 9 - Functional Test and Calibration Procedures

Test and The Test and Calibration Procedure (TCP) contains in-depth testing and
Calibration calibration instructions for the LIFEPAK 9 defibrillator/monitor. Unlike the
Procedure (TCP) PIP (Performance Inspection Procedure), only those tests considered
necessary need to be performed, and these may be conducted in any order. It
is necessary to separate the case halves for some of the tests.
TCP-Purpose
These
tests
may
be
performed
if
the
defibrillator/monitor
fails
a
step
in
the
PIP
or
if
there
is
a
suspected
failure
in
an
assembly.
Perform
the
PIP
after
completing
any
of
the
tests
in
this
section.
Note: If you perform any of the tests in this TCP, perform the PIP
(page 3-1) afterward to confirm that the defibrillator/monitor is
performing within specifications.
TCP-Scope and This TCP applies to the LIFEPAK 9 defibrillator/monitor. This PIP does not
Applicability apply to the LIFEPAK 9A, LIFEPAK 9B, or LIFEPAK 9P defibrillator/
monitors; refer to their respective service manuals for testing information.
