Section 1 1.1 Introduction The MICROSIM COS is a compact cardiac out put simulator, designed to test and verify the functionality of most cardiac output monitors. It simulates an ideal cardiac output waveform for various preset values for selected Blood temperature and injectate temperatures.
If no damage is found to the shipping box, open the box and perform a visual inspection of the MICROSIM COS. If any damage to the unit is observed please contact Netech Customer Service. The Netech warranty statement is listed in the warranty section of this manual.
2.3 Controls and Menu Structure Controls The control consists of four function keys F1 – F4, a left arrow (<), a right arrow (>), Esc key and power On/Off. Each function key is active based on the context of each menu. Function keys are assigned to selections appearing along the bottom line of the display.

Diagnostic selections: • ROM (F1): Performs a ROM checksum to verify the integrity of the processor's memory. A pass/fail message will display. This function is also performed on power-up. • EP (F2): Performs a non-volatile memory (EEPROM) checksum to verify the integrity of the machine calibration constants. A pass/fail message will display.
Allow 10 seconds for the baseline to stabilize. Press the Start button on the monitor under test. Press Str (F4) on the MICROSIM COS to begin a waveform simulation. When the test is complete, verify the reading on the patient monitor.
Trouble Shooting Section 3 Error Codes • Error 1: Low Battery. Display reads, “Low Battery”, “Turn unit off.” The battery voltage has fallen below the safe operating limit and all functions have been disabled. Turn off the unit and replace the battery.
