4. Do not connect transthoracic and transvenous pacemakers simultaneously. Test only one type at a time. 5. Do not connect the pacer input before the EXPMT 2000 is turned ON. 6. Do not change the variable pacer test load while a transthoracic pacemaker is turned on.
LCD display. Resulting measurements of the tests performed are simultaneously shown on the LCD display. The EXPMT 2000 is compact, lightweight, and rugged. It may be operated with one 9 volt battery or with an optional AC adapter. A standard RS232 serial port allows for printing and storage of results with optional printers and PDAs.
A computer interface is available to print test results or to save them on a PC. The test results can be saved directly to a Palm Pilot using Netech’s optional palm software. 1.3.3 Power Requirements One 9 Volt Alkaline Battery or optional AC adapter. EXPMT 2000 User Manual...
If no damage is found to the shipping box, open the box and perform a visual inspection of the EXPMT 2000. 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.
5 seconds. 2.3.1 RS 232 Setup The EXPMT 2000 can be connected to a printer / PC or a Palm Pilot via the RS 232C SERIAL PORT located on the side of the instrument.
The EXPMT 2000 provides a choice of utilizing either a fixed 50 Ohm test load or a variable test load (using the plug in adapter) for testing transthoracic pacemakers.
E. Select the desired parameter to be measured (PPM, Wdth, Amp, Ref) using ‘F1’, ‘F2’, ‘F3’, or ‘F4’ keys. F. The EXPMT 2000 will now display the measured parameters. G. Press either the ‘ ←’ or ‘ →’ key to reach Level 2 and Level 3 menus.
B. Press the Wdth ‘F2’ key to measure the Width. C. Press the Amp ‘F3’ key to measure the Amplitude. Note: The EXPMT 2000 pacer will continuously measure the parameters and update the display with the new values. Pressing the ‘F1’,‘F2’, or ‘F3’ key will select the measurement priority. The parameter selected will be updated first followed by the others.
(Tri) triangle, or (SSQ) waveform. E. Press the ‘F2’ key to select a different sensitivity. 100, 200, 10, 25, and 40 msec are available. F. ‘STBY’ will flash on the top line until a measurement is made. EXPMT 2000 User Manual...
E. Press the 50Hz ‘F4’ key for a sine wave of 50Hz. G. The peak amplitude is displayed from 0 to 10 mV and may be increased or decreased. The default setting is 5.7 mV. Each EXPMT 2000 User Manual...
E. Press the ‘ESC’ key to return to the previous (Level 2) menu. 2.6 Testing External Transvenous Pacers (AV) The EXPMT 2000 will test both atrial and ventricular transvenous pacemakers. Before performing any tests connect the pacemaker to be tested to either the ATR (Atrial) or VENT (Ventricular) A-V INPUT connectors on the top of the instrument.
B. Press the Wdth Key ‘F2’ to measure the Width. C. Press the Amp Key ‘F3’ to measure the Amplitude. Note: The EXPMT 2000 pacer will continuously measure the parameters and update the display with the new values. Press the ‘F1’, ‘F2’, or ‘F3’...
The default setting is 54.3 mV. Each time the ‘ ’ key is pressed the amplitude increases by 6.8 mV. Each time the ‘ ’ key is pressed the amplitude decreases by 6.8 EXPMT 2000 User Manual...
Note: The select switch must be in the A-V position and inputs must be connected to both the ATR and VENT input jacks on the EXPMT 2000. The amplitude values for both atrial and ventricular output on the pacemaker must be set to 0.1mA or higher.
A. Press the ‘PRN’ key on the Keypad to print the measured test data from the EXPMT 2000 in the Pacer Test mode. B. The EXPMT 2000 will send data to the printer port each time the display updates with current parameter measurements.
User modified values, may be saved for use in subsequent tests as long as the EXPMT 2000 is not turned off. The user can leave the modified value unsaved so that the original default values will be output during subsequent tests.
(online LED lights up). Now the printer is ready to receive data from the EXPMT 2000. Select PRI in the main menu of the EXPMT 2000 and press the ‘F1’ key. The ‘Select Printer’ menu is now displayed showing the printer options.
3 Once the above selections have been made press ‘PRI’ in the main menu of the EXPMT 2000 and press the PC ‘F2 ‘key for the results to be stored in the given file name.
2.10.1 AV Pacer Test Function In the AV Pacer Test Mode, the EXPMT 2000 inputs a DC output voltage of 100 millivolts ± 5 and displays both the input and the measured values. A. Select the AV Pacer Mode. B. Select the Level 2 Main Menu.
± 5% of the selected reading the EXPMT 2000 should be recalibrated. 2.10.3 Calibration Check The EXPMT 2000 can be configured as a DC voltmeter and used to check the amplitude calibration. A. Select Level 2 in the Main Menu.
Left margin set Print 16 characters 2.10.5 Pacemaker Battery Current Test The EXPMT 2000 will measure the battery current of the pacemaker to be tested. The Netech 652-Battery Adapter is required to perform this measurement. A. Connect the battery adapter to the pacemaker and a 9 Volt battery.
Equipment files may be entered and edited. 3.12 Netech PalmSoft Set Up Procedure D. Load the Netech PalmSoft software into the Palm Pilot. Connect the Palm Pilot to the EXPMT 2000 using the Netech serial interface cable, 650-Palm-Cable. Activate the Netech PalmSoft software.
