Connect the ECG patient cable to the ECG/RESP connector of the
patient monitor.
1. Set up the patient simulator as follows:
Respiration (RESP) baseline impedance – 750or 1000

RESP R – 0.5

Select appropriate lead for RESP on simulator

RESP rate (respirations per minute) – 30

2. Set up the patient monitor as follows:
RESP waveform – on

RESP waveform lead select – lead II (RESP waveform derived

from ECG lead II)
3. Observe the following:
RESP parameter window appears on the patient monitor with a

reading of 30 ±2 (respirations per minute)
RESP waveform appears distortion-free on the patient monitor

4. Change the RESP waveform lead select of the patient monitor to lead
I (RESP waveform derived from ECG lead I), LA at the simulator.
5. Observe the following:
RESP parameter window appears on the patient monitor with a

reading of 30 ±2 (respirations per minute),
RESP waveform appears distortion-free on the patient monitor.

6. Disconnect the ECG patient cable from the ECG/RESP connector of
the patient monitor.
7. Proceed to the next steps in these checkout procedures.
