3.3.4.6 General Operation
3.3.4.6.1 Operation with a Human Subject
Note: The accuracy of NPB-4000/C temperature measurements is ±0.1ø C
(±0.2øF). In the procedure below, add the tolerance of the simulator to
the acceptable range of readings.
4. Press On/Standby switch to turn monitor on.
5. After normal power-up sequence, verify temperature reads 37ø ±0.1ø C
(98.6øF ±0.2øF if Fahrenheit is selected as temperature units.)
6. Turn monitor off.
The following tests are an overall performance check of the system:
• 3.3.4.6.1 Operation with a Human Subject
• 3.3.4.6.2 Serial Interface Test
Patient monitoring involves connecting the monitor to a human subject for a
qualitative test.
1. Connect EC-8 sensor extension cable to monitor.
2. Connect Nellcor Durasensor oxygen transducer, model
DS-100A, to sensor extension cable.
3. Clip DS-100A to subject as recommended in sensor directions for use.
4. Connect a CE-10 ECG cable to NPB-4000/C.
5. Connect ECG leads to cable.
6. Connect ECG electrodes to leads.
7. Apply ECG electrodes to subject according to leads and electrodes
directions for use.
8. Connect SHBP-10 blood pressure hose to monitor.
9. Apply appropriate SCBP series blood pressure cuff to subject according to
the cuff directions for use.
10. Press On/Standby switch to turn monitor on and verify monitor is operating.
11. Monitor should stabilize on subject' s physiological signal in about 15 to 30
seconds.
12. Verify saturation and heart and respiration rates are reasonable for subject.
13. Press NIBP Start/Stop switch on front panel of monitor.
