test:
•
Test Setup — This procedure establishes the baseline for all the other
tests. The Test Setup procedure must be performed before performing any
or all of the SRC-MAX tests.
•
Test 1: BPM — This procedure simulates an O
patient indicating 60 bpm and 200 bpm. The test setup procedure sets up
Test 1 for 60 bpm.
•
Test 2: SpO
— This procedure simulates an O
