Pulse Rate Test
You can simulate different patient conditions while you monitor the effect of different
pulse rates on the SpO2 measurement. To do a pulse rate test:
1. Set the pulse rate alarm limit value(s) on the oximeter.
2. From the SpO2 screen, push or to highlight the Heart Rate value.
3. Push .
4. Push to increase the heart rate until the alarm sounds.
5. Push to decrease the heart rate until the alarm sounds.
You can decrease the heart rate to 0 bpm to simulate asystole or no pulse.
Pulse Amplitude Test
The peak-to-peak amplitude of the blood pressure wave tested by the Product can be
increased or decreased. You can decrease the amplitude to find where the oximeter fails
to sense a pulse. To do a pulse amplitude test:
1. From the SpO2 screen, push or to highlight the Pulse Amplitude value.
2. Push .
3. Push to decrease the pulse amplitude value until the oximeter no longer shows a
pulse or the oximeter alarm sounds.
Autosequences
Autosequences are a series of steps that change the output of the Product automatically.
For example, to do a temperature test on a monitor, you must change the temperature of
the temperature simulation a number of times for a specified time period. To do this
manually, you can go to the temperature function, push and then push or to
change the temperature and then push again. After some time period, you do these
same steps for the subsequent temperature change. The Temperature autosequence does
these changes for you automatically. Each step of the temperature autosequence sets the
temperature and after the allotted time period, it does the subsequent step.
Table 14 is a list of autosequences that are built into the Product.
