If an external command is followed by the number 0, the medTester will not
expect or look for a response from the external analyzer. It stores nothing in
the test record for that checkitem.
Note
Remote commands begin with alphabetic characters. See Remote
Commands List in Chapter 12, Remote Operation.
Pause Command (M) Sub-Category
You can also insert a checkitem in a checklist that simply creates a pause in
the execution of the checklist. A pause command is any numeric string (1 to
32768) that inserts a pause for that number of seconds. Here's an example:
The message
SECOND DELAY
is a comment. The seconds count down on the
display before the checklist continues.
medTester Autosequence (A) Sub-Category
Autosequences are placed in a checklist with the insertion of the
autosequence number. These numbers are listed by type—safety, defibrillator,
IV pump—in their respective chapters in this manual. When the
autosequence number appears in the checklist, the medTester 5000C executes
that autosequence. When executed as part of a checklist, these autosequences
do not prompt you for pretest information. Posttest prompts do appear. The
medTester stores checklist autosequence data separate from the checklist
record. Upon completion of the autosequence, the medTester returns to the
remaining checkitems in the checklist.
If You Make a Mistake
During the execution of the checklist you may notice that you have made a
mistake. For example, you could enter pass when you want to enter fail on the
result of a test checkitem. In this case, the medTester 5000C allows you to
back up in the checklist to a previous checkitem so that you can correct the
error. To back up in the checklist, press the up arrow key. You can then rerun
that checkitem.
With M (remote pause command) and A check items, you have two (2)
seconds to back up in the checklist before the checkitem executes.
