MAX Energy Test. This test measures the maximum length of time the EUT
requires to charge to its maximum energy level. The test also measures the actual
energy level. To perform this test do the following:
1. Simultaneously push START (F5) and start charging the
defibrillator to its maximum energy level.
2. The next display shows:
3. The defibrillator discharges to the Impulse, and the reading
displays on the medTester similar to this example:
4. Either repeat the test or continue to the Cardioversion test as
desired.
Cardioversion Test. If this test is turned on in the custom menu, you can
perform the test:
1. Connect the ECG leads to the binding posts on the Impulse.
2. The Impulse outputs a waveform to the EUT. The type of
waveform is dependent upon the Impulse model you have.
3. View the waveform that is output on your defibrillator
monitor.
4. Set your EUT (defibrillator) to Cardioversion Synchronized mode.
5. Discharge the EUT.
6. Each step in the test causes the medTester to display the
readings similar to this example:
7. This process continues through steps two and three.
